Lyncombe · BA2painting & decorating
Stone property renovations, hillside garden landscaping and sympathetic heritage refurbishments for Lyncombe's quiet elevated enclave south of the city centre.
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.
Lyncombe occupies a distinctive hillside position between the city centre and Combe Down, combining stone-built Victorian villas, terraced cottages and a handful of larger detached properties set into the hillside with significant garden potential. Work here spans the full range of what we do: heritage stone repairs and lime repointing on the older stock; substantial rear and lower-ground extensions that exploit the slope; and high-quality internal refurbishments that bring older interiors up to contemporary standards without sacrificing period character. The hillside setting requires careful site logistics — sloped garden engineering, stone property structural assessment and Conservation Area compliance — all of which our team manages as a matter of course.
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

A ten to fifteen-minute walk or short bus ride from Bath Spa station, up Lyncombe Hill from the Widcombe side or via the Wellsway from Bear Flat. Steep access shapes scaffolding and deliveries, which we plan in advance.
Established owner-occupiers in the stone stock, with buyers seeking quiet, character and gardens minutes from the centre.
Hillside site logistics, sloped garden engineering and stone-property structural assessment are all addressed from the initial consultation, so the fixed quote covers the real ground conditions rather than discovering them mid-build.
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.
