Commercial decorating in a mostly residential village
Most commercial work in a village like this is for landlords and letting agents rather than shops or offices. About 205 Girton households rent privately and 245 from social landlords, and rented homes need quick, hard-wearing turnarounds between occupants.
We handle those with washable finishes that touch up well, marks and fixings made good, and stains sealed with Zinsser before repainting.
Commercial painters with college and accommodation experience
We know how college and accommodation projects run: we decorated 38 rooms at Westminster College in central Cambridge, moving decorators in and out to suit the college's own timetable. The Westminster College case study has the details.
We also carried out painting and wallpaper hanging in student flats in Colchester for JR Pickstocks. For schools, offices or other premises in or near Girton, see our commercial painting page.

How we approach commercial painting
For an occupied building we agree working areas, room order and any out-of-hours slots before starting, keep corridors and fire exits clear, and record which rooms are complete. Rental homes are cleared of tenant marks, stain-blocked and painted in washable emulsion. With 12 decorators we can put enough people on to meet a fixed handover date. The full method, products and FAQs are on our commercial painting page.
