Specifically, to ensure materials reduce human exposure to hazardous building material ingredients through the restriction or elimination of compounds or products known to be toxic and the promotion of safer replacements.
The Results:
Our innovative approach helped us to deliver full decorating and firestopping services to support Skanska’s WELL certification aims.

A complete decoration contract to help create the UK’s first nhow hotel. The project involved decorating throughout the nine storey hotel, including a restaurant, bar, gym and meeting rooms.
The Sentinel Contracting team was invited by Nullifire to undertake installation of its Soffit System within Battersea Power Station to install hi-impact soffit board in multiple areas.
The Sentinel team are pleased to have recently completed decorating works at the £150m K1 Knightsbridge development in London’s most prestigious postcode.
