Welcome to Hollis & Tate, proudly serving the Midlands area, where every project is a chance to create something truly spectacular.
I’m Akshay Vadhera, founder and Operations Director. With years of experience across residential and commercial projects, I’ve built a reputation for high-quality work, honest communication, and attention to detail that lasts. Every finish is achieved using the best materials, the right techniques, and an uncompromising approach to preparation.
Alongside a trusted network of skilled tradespeople and suppliers, I ensure every project runs as smoothly as possible – from consultation to completion. Whether it’s refreshing a single room or managing a full property refurbishment, the goal is simple: to make the process seamless and deliver results you’ll be proud to live or work in.
The Hollis & Tate Way
At Hollis & Tate, our process is built on precision, transparency, and respect for your space. From first consultation to final inspection, every step is carefully managed to ensure a seamless experience and a flawless finish.
1. Consultation & Survey
We start with a detailed on-site visit to understand your goals, style preferences, and the unique requirements of your property. This allows us to advise on materials, finishes, and practical solutions from the very start.
2. Proposal Pack
You’ll receive a transparent, itemised quote outlining the full scope of works, clear timelines, and all associated costs. No hidden extras — just honest communication and clarity from the outset.
3. Scheduling
Once approved, we secure your start date and coordinate materials, logistics, and access. Every detail is planned to minimise disruption and keep your project running smoothly.
4. Delivery
Our experienced team handles every stage of preparation and decoration with care and precision. We maintain daily updates throughout the process so you’re informed and confident at every step.
5. Inspection & Aftercare
Before sign-off, we walk you through every detail to ensure complete satisfaction. You’ll also receive a 12-month workmanship guarantee and practical advice for maintaining your new finish.
Our Core Values
At Hollis & Tate, our philosophy is simple — quality starts long before the paint touches the wall. Every project is guided by our three core values: Precision, Preparation, and Perfection. Together, they define how we work, how we communicate, and how we deliver results that last.
Every line, corner, and surface matters. Our work is built on accuracy – from the first tape line to the final brushstroke. We measure twice, plan thoroughly, and execute with a level of attention that ensures flawless finishes, every time.
A perfect finish starts with what’s underneath. That’s why we dedicate time to surface repairs, priming, and masking — the steps most people rush through. By preparing properly, we guarantee a smoother application, longer-lasting results, and a professional standard you can see and feel.
To us, perfection isn’t about chasing the impossible — it’s about taking pride in every detail until it meets our own standards of excellence. From colour selection to clean-up, we aim to leave every space better than we found it.
Your vision. Our craftsmanship.
We approach every project as a collaboration – combining an eye for design with the discipline of fine decorating. Whether we’re refreshing a period property or refining a commercial interior, our process is the same: careful preparation, precise execution, and a commitment to finish that lasts. Reliable, detail-focused, and driven by excellence – that’s the Hollis & Tate way.
