Bradford on Avon · BA15painting & decorating
Sympathetic heritage remodelling, lime repointing and bespoke period joinery installations — for the town that demands the highest standards of period care.
Painting and decorating across Bath — internal and external, from single rooms to full redecorations. The finish is only ever as good as the prep, so filling, sanding and sealing is where we spend the time. Period properties get breathable paint systems and limewash where the walls need them; modern homes get hard-wearing trade finishes. Sash windows, woodwork, wallpaper and feature walls — all in the same crew, all in the quote.
Bradford on Avon possesses one of the finest concentrations of period properties in the region — from the iconic Tythe Barn to weavers' cottages and Georgian townhouses lining the steep streets down to the river. Our team brings the same exacting standard to every project here: traditional lime mortars hand-mixed to match the original substrate, period joinery fabricated or restored to original profiles, and structural interventions that preserve the building's integrity without compromising its character. Steep street access, riverside flood considerations and conservation area planning constraints are managed comprehensively within every project.
If any of these sound like your property, this is the service you want.

Verified reviews from recent work.
Older property, kitchen with apex ceiling. Very pleased with the professional finish, friendly team. I was asked before painting commenced what I would like. All surfaces fully protected and covered, no mess left. Impressed with the high standard. Kitchen looks exactly how I wanted it to look with the desired finish.
