Oldfield Park · BA2painting & decorating
Victorian terrace renovations, structural open-plan conversions and quality refurbishments for one of Bath's most densely residential neighbourhoods.
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.
Oldfield Park is Bath's engine room — a dense grid of Victorian terraces around Moorland Road's independent shops, housing a mix of owner-occupiers and landlord investors who want genuine quality at realistic cost. The opportunity here is space maximisation: removing chimney breast walls, installing structural steel for open-plan kitchen-diners, converting cellars into usable rooms, and adding rear extensions that genuinely transform how a property lives. Our team understands the structural limitations and possibilities of Victorian terrace construction inside-out — the irregular floor joists, shared chimney stacks and shallow foundations typical of this stock — and delivers projects that add real value without cutting corners on building control compliance.
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

Oldfield Park station sits on the Bath–Bath line at the heart of the neighbourhood, and the Lower Bath Road corridor links it to the city centre in minutes. Buses run along Moorland Road and the A367.
A mix of first-time buyers, long-term owner-occupiers and landlord investors — one of Bath's most actively renovated neighbourhoods.
Victorian terrace structural quirks — irregular floor joists, shared chimney stacks, shallow foundations — are assessed and managed as standard, so the fixed quote reflects the real work rather than an optimistic starting point.
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.
