Saltford · BA1painting & decorating
Riverside home extensions, structural renovations and garden landscaping for Saltford's mix of period cottages and family homes along the Avon.
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.
Saltford sits directly on the Avon between Bath and Bath, and its housing reflects that setting — a village core of older cottages close to the lock and marina, surrounded by family houses on quieter estate roads set slightly back from the water. Riverside plots bring specific ground and drainage conditions we've dealt with repeatedly, and the village's period core means some projects fall within local planning constraints that need managing from the outset. Whether it's a full rear extension or a garden landscaping scheme that makes the most of a riverside plot, we bring the same structural rigour we apply to our larger Bath commissions.
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

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.
