Old or new, residential or commercial, the way a building is brought to life inside and out is through painting and decorating.
This specialised task is the final step in any project involving renovation, refurbishment, alterations, reconfiguration or the construction of an extension or loft conversion.
Even when you haven’t had work done on your property, regular re-decorating is key to keeping it looking fresh and attractive, enhancing the kerb appeal outside and making sure you enjoy being indoors with a space decorated to your taste.
That’s why our professional painting and decorating team at Prior & Company Ltd. are so important. They provide the final fine finish to all our projects – the cherry on the top that wows all our clients.
Back in 1990 Bob Prior and Darren Joyce started our company as a decorating business, perfecting their skills and establishing a great reputation for workmanship and customer service. Their hard work quickly led them to expand the staff and services to include everything you need from a general building contractor. Decorating remains a process close to our hearts.
Painting and decorating requires strength and dexterity – it also demands creativity, an eye for design, and attention to detail. Our skilled and experienced decorators have all those attributes and more, enthusiastic about giving the walls, ceilings, features and even the floors of the interior of your home or workplace a flawless finish, while covering the exterior with a protective coat of colour and texture.
We love to get involved in helping you plan out your colour scheme, suggesting design touches and explaining how we prepare surfaces to get the best result.
Our professional decorators don’t just slap on a coat of paint. We follow a tried and trusted protocol that includes:
Put your painting and decorating in our capable hands and be assured of high-quality results.
A great deal of our building contracting work involves renovating old properties in Wiltshire and in and around the cities of Bath and Bristol. As a result have the knowledge and experience to know how to decorate a period property in the appropriate style, highlighting original features, combining traditional techniques with modern materials.
We can advise you about heritage colour schemes, types of wall coverings (including panelling and wainscoting), period wallpaper designs and other key style features to create elegant yet comfortable interiors that are timeless and sophisticated.
Old buildings tend to be susceptible to damp, so benefit from specialist types of paint, such as anti-mould paint for bathrooms and kitchens, and paints that allow the walls to breathe, like natural water-based eggshell paints (especially for old woodwork). We are extremely knowledgeable about which types of paint best suit the purpose and surface that requires decorating.
When it comes to exterior decorating, we work with traditional finishes like limewash or modern specially formulated paints, coatings and renders designed for aesthetic appeal and protection from the elements.
