The word “turnkey” originally referred to a prison warder — someone who held all the keys. In property, it has come to mean something rather more reassuring: a service where one trusted company takes care of every stage of a project on your behalf, handing you back the keys when the work is complete.

For busy professionals, landlords, businesses, commercial premises and homeowners who have neither the time nor the inclination to coordinate multiple trades, chase quotations, or manage a programme, the turnkey model offers something genuinely valuable: a single point of contact, a defined scope, and the confidence that comes from knowing the work is being handled by people who do this every day.

You may have already seen our video about the three pillars that hold up Upcycle Interiors: Professional, Trustworthy, and Reliable. 

These aren’t just nice words to put on a website - they’re the foundation of how we run our business.

Did you know that Upcycle Interiors Ltd has a 4th team member?

Carla, who is UIL's Personnel Manager, was actually the 2nd UIL employee, being one of the key driving forces behind the business.

She works tirelessly behind the scenes as a PA, taking on many day-to-day tasks and administration.

Her official team title is Personel Manager, but Carla is also involved in business development and provides consultancy services.

You'll see her car out and about in its "classic UIL silver grey" colour - adorned with the familiar Upcycle Interiors signage.

Back in 2018, Upcycle Interiors was born as a business venture of Mark and Carla Ellery. Mark, who is architecturally trained, created the business out of his lifelong love for renovating and designing, and left the big city to return to his hometown of Weymouth with his young family to grow his business.

Now, in 2024, the business has grown to a team of 4 permanent team members.

Our client found us when they saw one of our corex advertising boards in Upwey.

They had a long (2 pages of A4) to-do list for us of small niggles and tasks to complete following their house move.

Hi, my name is Mark; architecturally trained for 7 years, I now move between the drawing board, CAD station, drill, hammer and saw.

I no longer confine my lifelong passion, refined style and creativity to sketches and drawings;  I see projects through from conception to completion... 

UIL is growing once more! Let's welcome Lisa to the team. Lisa joins us as our marketing manager.

Hey there! So if you are new to Upcycle Interiors or haven't had the pleasure of using our services yet, let me introduce myself!

I'm Mark Ellery, and I've been the handyman behind Upcycle Interiors Ltd since 2016. 

“Pssst, have you seen the new kid in school?  Hey, look at him!  Ohhhhh, who is that, what is his name?  Wow what a big shiny chisel!”  Jokes aside, I want to welcome onto the scene Able & Mason!

Where has the time gone? It’s been around 2 years since I last updated the blog! I wouldn’t put it down to “time flying when you’re having fun” so much, more a case of being busy – which is good.

The business is now completely re-established and known in Weymouth with regular advertising in ‘Free Portland News’, Contact magazine, The Register and CheckaTrade directory. You might also see our correx advertising boards outside clients' homes or receive a business card dropped through your door (with a money-off voucher). We have built up a new client base and even with the Covid-19 situation the workload is consistently busy.
