Commercial Painting Services in Barnstaple
Commercial painting is not the same job as residential. Downtime costs money. Guest experience is on the line. We schedule around your business, work in phases where needed, and prepare period commercial buildings correctly.
Holiday Let Turnarounds: Croyde, Braunton, and Ilfracombe
North Devon has one of the largest holiday let markets in England. We work to your calendar and complete to a consistent finish. For exterior work on coastal holiday lets, see our exterior painting in Barnstaple page for coastal preparation detail.
Guest Houses, B&Bs, and Hospitality
Barnstaple and the surrounding North Devon coast have a strong hospitality sector. We work between guest stays, scheduling room by room where needed. For interior room repaints across guest bedrooms and corridors, see our interior painting service.
Offices and Retail Units
Office and retail repaints are planned to minimise downtime. We phase work across zones. Out-of-hours working is available where businesses cannot vacate during the day. Reception areas and client-facing spaces receive the highest finish attention.
Shopfronts and Retail Exteriors
A freshly painted shopfront is one of the fastest ways to improve kerb appeal for a retail business. Faded paint, peeling woodwork, or a dated colour scheme costs you customers before they step inside.
We paint timber and composite shopfront fascias, door surrounds, window frames, and signage borders. Surface preparation comes first: any loose or flaking paint is stripped, timber is primed, and metal is treated for rust before the finish coat goes on. We work around trading hours where needed to minimise disruption.
Barnstaple high streets see heavy footfall and variable weather. We use exterior-grade trade paints — gloss and satin finishes that hold up to UV exposure, damp, and traffic pollution. Colour matching is available if you need to stay consistent with brand guidelines.

Rental Properties and Void Period Repaints
Landlords across Barnstaple and surrounding villages use void periods between tenancies to refresh properties. A well-maintained interior reduces time on market and attracts better tenants.
Rental Properties: Void Period Refresh
We complete void period repaints efficiently — full interior repaint, touch-ups to woodwork, and any external work needed for kerb appeal. We work to your timeline and aim to have the property back on the market as quickly as possible. For whole-property projects, see our house painting in Barnstaple page.
Period and Listed Buildings
Commercial properties in North Devon are often Victorian or Edwardian and need the same careful preparation as residential period work. Original plaster walls need breathable paints. Dado rails and sash windows need careful masking and hand painting.

Here’s How It Works
1. Site Visit
We walk the property with you to assess scope, surface condition, and scheduling constraints. We note out-of-hours requirements and identify any specialist preparation needed before quoting.
2. Written Quote with Timeline
You get a clear breakdown of costs and a proposed schedule. For phased commercial projects, the schedule shows which areas are worked in which sequence.
3. Scheduling and Access Planning
Out-of-hours schedules and access arrangements are agreed before we start. We do not work out logistics on site.
4. Surface Preparation and Painting
Filling, sanding, priming, and specialist preparation where needed. Work carried out to the agreed schedule. Each phase is completed and checked before access is returned to the business.
5. Final Walkthrough
We walk the completed work with you before sign-off. Any snagging is addressed immediately.
Commercial Painting Costs in Barnstaple
Prices below are estimates only. Every project is different. Call 01271 444479 for a precise quote.
What Drives the Cost
Scale (total floor area or number of rooms) directly affects labour time and materials. Surface condition matters — period commercial buildings need more preparation than modern fit-outs. Schedule also affects cost: out-of-hours or weekend working carries a premium if your business cannot vacate during the day.
Typical Ranges
Holiday let (2-bed cottage), autumn turnaround: £700–£1,600. Guest house or B&B (6–10 rooms), full refresh: £2,500–£6,500. Retail unit or office, common areas: £600–£2,000. Rental property void period repaint (3-bed): £800–£1,800.
