Our commercial painting team covers the South West of England and our customers in this region range from local housing associations to new-build PFI schools and hospitals.

Our team has the experience and expertise to deliver highly decorative painting work to the highest standard. High-profile customers, including the National Trust, Bath Spa University and the Assembly Rooms in Bath, trust us to complete work for them.

Painting historical properties requires a high level of expertise. Our painters have spent time learning how best to carry out the required decorative work and developing skills at the apprentice painter level. They have then gone on to hone their skills over many years in commercial painting environments.

In addition, we can provide specific repairs to heritage buildings including:

  • sash window overhauls
  • the use of resin repair care products
  • bespoke manufacturing of timber items to fully replace windows, doors and internal mouldings.

Our Bristol team delivers cyclical painting programmes for several independent schools, as well as an academy chain in the South West. We can carry out in-depth work that is highly time-sensitive and dependent on us delivering to a strict programme and quality standard.

Commercial decorating contractors Bristol

As commercial decorators, we work on various types of contract, including:

  • university lifecycle maintenance painting
  • office redecorations
  • external coatings for blocks of flats.

Our team is highly experienced at delivering maintenance painting in NHS environments and large hospitals, including Southmead Hospital where we have applied several thousand litres of PPG Johnstones paint. We always ensure to minimise disruption for recuperating patients and working medical professionals.

We offer a complete refurbishment service for key clients, including multi-trade works. Where we have access to a specific and approved supply chain, we can undertake internal and external refurbishment work, all with painting and decorating at the core of the project.

Our Favourite Projects

'Happy to chat' bench

A particular favourite is the ‘happy to chat’ bench we created for Broadmead BID. Located in the heart of Bristol city centre, in the courtyard of John Wesley’s New Room, the bench aims to encourage community interaction. We thoroughly cleaned and primed the bench, before painting it a calming green shade and adding the stencilled letters: ‘Sit here if you don’t mind someone stopping to say hello.’ The hope is that this simple idea will help to combat loneliness, creating a safe space where the community can engage with one another and have a friendly chat. We love this idea and are proud to play a part in the fight against loneliness.

Our Favourite Projects

South Western Railway stations

Another brilliant project completed by our Bristol team is the addition of colour to the South Western Railway stations. Our knowledge and experience of working with this rail service span over 20 years, so we took pleasure in repainting the various stations in eye-catching livery colours.
