About Arad Starco
A Manchester painting and decorating company, run by Arash Torkian. Most of our work is refreshing offices and rental properties, along with kitchen spraying and decorating people's homes.
Small, local and accountable
We're a small team on purpose. When you call about a quote, you speak to the person who runs the company, and that's who checks the work with you at the end.
We're based in Manchester M4, a few minutes from the city centre, and work across Greater Manchester. Offices, shops, rental flats, communal areas and homes all get the same preparation: fill, sand and prime properly first, because that's what decides whether the paint lasts.
Alongside general decorating we spray kitchens. It needs the right equipment and the right paint systems, and it's the part of the job we enjoy most.

What you can expect from us
A price in writing
A written quote before anything starts, and that's the price. If something unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you first.
Preparation we don't skip
Filling, caulking, sanding and priming take longest and show least. They're also what stops a finish cracking along every joint within a year.
A tidy site
Dust sheets down before we start, a tidy-up at the end of each day, and our rubbish leaves with us.
Respect for your space
Whether it's your home or your office, we turn up when we said we would and keep out of everyone's way.
Insured
We carry public liability insurance and can send the certificate before we start. RAMS on request for commercial sites.
We stand behind the work
If something isn't right, tell us and we'll come back and put it right. Sprayed kitchens come with aftercare for chips and knocks.
