Larkhall · BA1painting & decorating
Side-return extensions, loft conversions and Conservation Area renovations for Larkhall's tightly packed Victorian terraces.
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.
Larkhall's narrow Victorian terraces, clustered around the independent shops and community feel of the London Road corridor, are popular with young families who've outgrown the house but love the neighbourhood too much to leave. That makes side-return extensions and loft conversions the two projects we're asked for most here — both need careful handling on tight plots, shared party walls and a Conservation Area designation that governs anything visible from the street. We manage that planning process alongside the build itself, so homeowners get the extra space without a stalled application.
If any of these sound like your property, this is the service you want.
Paint applied to wet or unsealed plaster — the timeline includes proper drying and prep
Prep skipped — filling, sanding and sealing is where a paint job is won or lost
Impervious masonry paint on a solid stone wall — traps moisture and peels; breathable systems only
One coat where two are needed — coverage specified at quote, not discovered on the ladder
Woodwork painted over varnish without keying — flakes within a year
Furniture and floors left unprotected — everything sheeted, every day

Young families and long-term residents in the terraces — the kind of neighbourhood where owners extend rather than move.
Conservation Area planning constraints, narrow-plot side-return logistics and party wall agreements with neighbouring terraces are managed as standard on every Larkhall project — priced into the fixed quote from the start.
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.
