Painting & Decorating in Frome
A vibrant Somerset town known for its independent spirit and beautiful architecture. We love working in Frome's eclectic mix of properties.
13 miles from Bath3 services available
Frome is one of Somerset's most distinctive towns - a creative, independent-minded community with an architectural character all its own. Sitting on the eastern edge of the Mendips, about thirteen miles south of Bath, Frome has experienced a remarkable renaissance in recent years, attracting artists, makers, and families drawn to its character and community.
The town's medieval street pattern is largely intact, with Cheap Street's central water channel, the steep lanes of Catherine Hill, and the cobbled Trinity area creating an atmosphere unlike anywhere else in the region. The buildings here are an eclectic mix: medieval stone houses, Georgian merchants' homes, Victorian industrial conversions, and the distinctive blue lias limestone that gives many Frome buildings their characteristic grey-blue appearance.
Catherine Hill is the creative heart of Frome, lined with independent shops in beautifully maintained period buildings. Working on these properties means understanding the interplay between commercial presentation and architectural sensitivity - bold shopfronts that still respect the building's period character.
The residential areas of Frome offer wonderful variety. Trinity and the streets around Gentle Street feature some of the town's oldest and most characterful cottages, while Keyford and Fromefield have handsome Georgian and Victorian terraces. The newer developments at Saxonvale and around the Marston trading estate bring contemporary design that calls for clean, modern finishes.
Frome's artistic community means our clients here are often more adventurous with colour and finish choices. We welcome that - whether it's a bold exterior palette that makes a statement, venetian plaster in a renovated warehouse apartment, or carefully chosen heritage colours for a restoration project.
Our services in Frome include interior and exterior painting, woodwork restoration, and venetian plaster. We also cover nearby villages including Rode, Beckington, Norton St Philip, Mells, and Nunney.
