A Star Decorators

Commercial decorating · Trowbridge

Commercial decorators in Trowbridge.

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 Trowbridge and Wiltshire. Trowbridge is the county town of Wiltshire, built largely in honey coloured Bath stone, with the tall former clothiers' houses and weavers' cottages that survive from its woollen mill past sitting alongside Victorian terraces and later family housing out towards Studley Green and Hilperton. We decorate homes across the town. Local stone frontages and older render need preparation and coatings matched to the substrate, while the Victorian and modern housing more often calls for full interior schemes and refreshed exterior joinery. We work in a way that keeps your home usable, taking one area at a time and tidying up properly at the end of each day. Every job starts with a free visit and a written quote, so you know the scope and the cost before any work begins. We carry £10m Employers' Liability and £5m Public Liability, and our painters are Dulux Academy Trained. We finish under a no-snag handover policy, with each area inspected and signed off before it is handed back to you.

Right fit when

Frequently asked · Trowbridge

What clients in Trowbridge usually ask first.

Do you cover Trowbridge and the nearby towns?
Yes. We cover Trowbridge along with Hilperton, Staverton, Westbury and the villages around it. Get in touch and we will arrange a survey.
Can you decorate while we still live in the house?
Yes. We work section by section, protect your floors and furniture, and clear up each day, so you keep the run of your home while the work carries on.
How do I get a free quote?
We come and look at the property, talk through what you want done, then send a free written quote covering the scope and the 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.
