A new painting and decorating firm has been launched by an established historic renovation company.

Artisan Painting & Decorating has been born from Artisan Plastercraft.

The professional decorating company provides high-quality paint finishes, wallpapering, gilding and other specialist techniques – and staff have already worked on flagship projects at Shakespeare’s Globe theatre, Claremont Club at the Savoy Hotel and Potters House Church in Walthamstow.

Director Andrew Bradley said: "We are very excited for the launch of Artisan Painting and Decorating.

"We have been pleased to be able to hit the ground running by working on some incredible buildings and make a difference to the look and feel of these public spaces.

"Our clients are both private individuals and main building contractors – as well as everything in between – and it is such a delight to get hands-on with each project.

"I really enjoy overseeing our skilled decorating workforce as well as liaising with clients across multiple projects."


The company, based in Kent, has already worked on projects across London and the South East and has a number of upcoming contracts as well as extensive enquiries.

They work with each client to ensure the interior and exterior decoration expresses the client's personal style as well as using colours, materials and styles in keeping with the building’s heritage.

The expert decorators can restore most internal surfaces including walls, ceilings, doors and windows, plaster – both modern and traditional, woodwork and metalwork.

Externally, they can restore and repaint building exteriors including period limewash paint to lime render, masonry painting, stucco, balustrade and pillars, woodwork and window frames and wrought iron and exterior metalwork.

Andrew, who has 38 years of painting and decorating experience and a master's degree in Historic Building Conservation, said the company will have a synergy with Artisan Plastercraft and may well work on a number of the same projects as one another, but will also be a standalone company.

"It was only natural to launch Artisan Painting and Decorating because existing Artisan Plastercraft customers know and trust the name and they wanted to be able to have the same company work on all aspects of the project," Andrew added.

"It is really in response to demand as we have the skills to do both the decorative plastering work and the decoration that follows, so now we will be able to.

"We pride ourselves on breathing new life into heritage buildings and have worked on listed building redecoration across the country, but our skills do not end there.

"Whether it is a commercial or residential property, contemporary or heritage, our team of decorators are excited to start working on the projects we have coming up."
