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.

Whole-home modernisation, extensions and structural reconfiguration across the inter-war, post-war and newer housing that makes up most of Melksham.

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.
Melksham's housing is dominated by the inter-war and post-war estates that spread out from a compact historic core near the Market Place and the River Avon, with newer developments on the town's edges and a steady stream of whole-home modernisation work. Typical projects here are opening up compartmentalised layouts, installing structural steel for open-plan kitchen-diners, and adding rear extensions on plots wide enough to take them. The town is also a natural link between our Bath base and the wider Wiltshire corridor, and the same fixed-price, itemised-quote discipline applies whether the job is a single knock-through or a full modernisation programme.
