Service overview
Commercial Painting & Decorating: What You Need to Know
What the service covers
Painting and decorating for business premises: walls, ceilings, woodwork, doors and communal areas in offices, shops, cafés, guest accommodation, surgeries, rental property and common parts of flats. Interior and exterior work, brushed, rolled or sprayed depending on the space.
Who it is for
Business owners, landlords, letting agents, facilities managers and managing agents who need a reliable decorator who turns up when agreed, works tidily around staff and customers, and finishes on schedule.
Working around trade
Because we work 7 days a week from 7am to 9pm, we can schedule work early, late or at weekends so your doors stay open. Areas can be phased so only part of the premises is out of use at any one time.
Why it matters
Your premises are the first thing customers and staff judge you on. Scuffed walls, chipped doors and tired paintwork send the wrong message, while a clean, well-finished interior tells people you take care over the details.
The cost of waiting
What Happens If You Leave It
Tired paintwork in a business doesn't just look poor. It affects how customers see you and how staff feel about coming in.
High-traffic damage
Corridors, stairwells and reception areas scuff and chip quickly, and patching over it rarely matches.
Disruption to trade
Decorators who work only standard hours can close areas for days, costing you business.
Failing finishes
Standard domestic paint in heavy-use areas wears through far sooner than a harder-wearing product would.
Empty rental periods
Every extra day a property sits waiting for decorating between tenants is a day without rent.
Common mistakes we see
- Choosing a cheaper matt paint for busy areas that marks the moment it is touched.
- Booking work during opening hours when it could be done outside them.
- Skipping preparation to save time, so the new finish shows every old repair.
- Using several different trades who never meet, with no one owning the result.

Commercial Painting & Decorating: Our Work
In detail
Commercial Painting & Decorating: Materials, Methods & Situations
Commercial spaces need finishes that stand up to daily use and a schedule that respects the business.
Harder-wearing finishes
In corridors, kitchens, washrooms and receptions we recommend durable, washable finishes that can be wiped down without polishing or losing colour.
Spraying larger spaces
Large open-plan areas, warehouses and new fit-outs can often be sprayed with airless equipment for fast, even coverage, reducing time on site.
Rental turnarounds
For landlords and letting agents, we can refresh a property quickly between tenancies so it is back on the market sooner.
Exterior frontage
Shopfronts, signage boards, railings and exterior woodwork are all part of how your business looks from the street.
Local to you
Commercial Painting & Decorating Across Basingstoke & Beyond
We are based in Basingstoke and carry out commercial painting & decorating for homes and businesses across Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire and Wiltshire. Being local means we can visit to quote quickly, plan work around the weather and your diary, and keep the job moving without long gaps between visits.
From terraced houses and new-build estates to period properties, offices and commercial units, the properties in this part of the South vary a lot. Older homes often need more preparation and filling, while newer homes tend to need careful work on fresh plaster and modern materials. We assess each job on its own terms and tell you plainly what it needs before we start.
Because we work 7 days a week, from 7am to 9pm, it is easier to book work in at a time that suits you, including evenings and weekends when you are at home, or outside trading hours for businesses.
Who does the work
The Same Family Team, Start to Finish
Centurion Decorating is run by Paul Mead, who was trained in the trade by his dad and has now been decorating for 24 years. Both of Paul's sons work alongside him full-time, so the people who quote for your job are the people who turn up and do it.
That matters when you are letting someone into your home or business. There are no strangers or subcontractors you have never met, the standard of preparation and finish stays consistent from the first day to the last, and if you have a question you can ask Paul directly.
Every job is fully insured with £5 million public liability cover and comes with a 1-year guarantee as standard.
