Proud Royal Warrant Holder

In January 2025, A.C. Beck & Son were granted the Royal Warrant to His Majesty the King after supplying exceptional service to the Royal Household. This follows the previous accolade of holding the warrant to Her Majesty the Queen, since 2020.

It is a tremendous honour for a family run company in its fourth generation of management. This recognition cements our position as one of the premier painting and refurbishment contractors in the South East of England & London.

We hired A.C. Beck as our decorators to work on painting 221 apartments and papering all the residential common areas. Once the pandemic hit they stayed with us throughout, helping with Aftercare as well as doing all the decoration for around 10 show apartments. Due to the quality of their work, in particular their papering, we also used them at our flagship Grosvenor Square development for a number of show apartments.
