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.

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.
Dunkerton is where Aspect Builds is based — the yard is at 2 Fir Tree Cottages, and most days start here before the vans head out across Bath and BANES. The village itself sits in the Cam Brook valley on the A367 corridor, a mix of stone cottages, former farm buildings and newer estates, with the old Somerset Coal Canal route running close by and Combe Hay's locks just up the valley. Working this close to home means we know the local ground, the housing stock and the trades around the village — and a Dunkerton project gets the shortest-notice site visit and the most direct supervision of any job we run, because the boss is five minutes away.
