Westfield · BA3painting & decorating
Extensions, refurbishments and structural improvements across the post-war housing estates of the Somer Valley.
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.
Westfield grew as the housing district between Radstock and Midsomer Norton, its post-war estates built to house the coalfield workforce and now home to the families and commuters who make the Somer Valley their own. The stock is dominated by solid post-war semis, terraces and bungalows — well-built housing that rewards structural investment, with plot sizes that generally take a rear extension and roofs that often suit dormer loft conversions. Typical work here is whole-home refurbishment, structural extensions and the practical upgrades that bring 1950s and 1960s housing up to modern family standards, all delivered on the same fixed-quote basis as the rest of our Somer Valley coverage.
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

Served by the A367 corridor between Radstock and Midsomer Norton with buses into Bath in around half an hour; local schools, shops and the trading estate sit within the district itself.
Younger families and first-time buyers alongside long-standing Somer Valley households — an area where good value building work is genuinely appreciated.
Post-war construction is generally straightforward to assess, so quotes here are among the most predictable we give — the same fixed-price, itemised-quote discipline as everywhere else.
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.
