A Star Decorators

Commercial decorating · Chippenham

Commercial decorators in Chippenham.

Decorating packages for retail refurbishments, fit outs and planned maintenance. Full RAMS with every job, finished to the brand spec, delivered while the unit keeps trading. Right now we are on Primark and Tesco stores for R.G. Carter and Morris & Spottiswood. Delivered across Chippenham and Wiltshire. Chippenham grew up around its old stone market town centre and the river Avon, and its housing reflects that long span, from Bath stone and rendered period properties near the centre, through Victorian terraces, to the large amount of newer family housing on the estates around Pewsham, Monkton Park and the edges towards the M4. We decorate homes across all of it. Older stone and rendered frontages need the right preparation and exterior system to handle exposure, while the modern estate housing more often calls for full interior redecoration and refreshed external woodwork. We work cleanly and one area at a time, so the rest of your home stays usable while we are on site. Every job begins with a free visit and a clear written quote, so the scope and the cost are agreed before any work starts. We carry £10m Employers' Liability and £5m Public Liability, and our painters are Dulux Academy Trained. Each job is finished under a no-snag handover policy, with every area inspected and signed off before it is handed back to you.

Right fit when

Frequently asked · Chippenham

What clients in Chippenham usually ask first.

Do you cover Chippenham and the surrounding villages?
Yes. We cover Chippenham and the villages around it, including Calne, Corsham, Lacock and Melksham. Contact us and we will book in a survey.
Will you work around us while we are living at home?
Yes. We decorate one area at a time, keep dust down, protect your belongings and tidy up daily, so you keep the use of your home throughout the job.
Is the quote free, and how does it work?
It is free. We visit, take a proper look at the property, discuss the finish you want, then send a written quote with the scope and price so you can decide before anything is booked.
What is a commercial decorating contractor?
A construction subcontractor specialising in painting, decorating and surface finishing on commercial premises: retail, offices, hospitality and industrial. We typically work under a main contractor on a fit out or refurbishment programme.
How is commercial decorating different from domestic?
Programme discipline, accreditation requirements, RAMS and COSHH packs, live trading capability, certified intumescent for structural steel, and main contractor commercial workflows like payment applications, retention and variations. Different audience, different documentation.
What does a commercial decorating quote include?
Scope by trade package phase, line item pricing with units and rates, prelims as a separate line, named exclusions, dated assumptions, a validity period, and a supporting pack covering insurance, accreditations, a comparable scheme and RAMS readiness. See /insights/capability-statement for the one page proof stack and /insights/clean-quote for the quote format.
What does a commercial decorator do that a regular decorator does not?
Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS), COSHH documentation per product, Working at Height compliance, CDM 2015 procedural compliance, and live site delivery around occupied premises.
What sectors do you cover?
Retail, office, education, healthcare, heritage and logistics. Most of our programme is repeat work for main contractors and retail estate teams.
