(01) Our approach

A flawless finish is mostly preparation. We sand, fill and prime as carefully as we paint — because the surface beneath is what makes the colour above sing.

240

Properties painted & completed

Hand-finished panelled door in deep sage with brass ironmongery

Hand-finished joinery

Doors, panelling and cabinetry brushed by hand — never sprayed unless it should be.

We use traditional cutting-in techniques and water-based eggshells from Mylands, Little Greene and Farrow & Ball — so the grain reads, the brush marks lay down softly, and the finish wears beautifully for years.

(02) Process

Calm sites, clear timings, no surprises.

01

Visit & listen

We come to the property, look at the light, the surfaces, the use of each room — and ask the questions a quote alone can't.

02

Detailed quote

A clear written proposal: paints, finishes, prep work, timings and a fixed price. No vague line items.

03

Prep, properly

Sheets down, surfaces filled, sanded dust-free and primed. Most of the time on site is spent here.

04

Finish & hand back

Two coats, careful cutting-in, a final walk-through and a clean room — keys back, on the day we said.

(04) Recent work

A short list of long collaborations.

Many of our clients return — for the second room, the second floor, or the second home. We're built for the long arc of a property.

(05) Kind words

Tidy, quiet, exceptionally careful. Bendrick treated the house as if it were their own — the cornicing has never looked better.

(06) Our social side

A trade, and a way out.

Alongside our senior decorators, Bendrick takes on young people pulled away from the streets and from drugs — giving them a real apprenticeship, a paid wage from day one, and a clear path from assistant to senior tradesperson.

Every room we paint helps fund that journey. The craft on your walls is the same craft that's giving someone their first honest career — taught patiently, by hand, on real sites.

(07) Craft

Considered colour. Honest materials. Calm sites.

We dust-sheet rooms top to tail, vacuum daily, and finish each day at a clean stopping point. No loud radios, no shortcuts on prep, no surprises on the invoice.
