CK Painting and Decorating

What CK Painting and Decorating does

CK Painting and Decorating is a privately held, founder-owned painting and decorating services business established in 2005 by Craig Knight and headquartered in Semington, near Trowbridge, Wiltshire, UK. The company employs approximately six people and serves residential homeowners, commercial property customers and community organisations across Wiltshire, Bath, Bristol and North East Somerset. Its core offering spans interior and exterior painting and decorating, specialist kitchen and cabinet spray finishing, and off-site workshop spraying of bespoke joinery and woodwork, delivered using premium paint brands including Farrow & Ball, Sherwin Williams, Little Greene and Benjamin Moore.

The company's primary technical differentiator is its investment in airless spraying equipment and a dedicated off-site workshop, which enables controlled-environment application and factory-quality finishes that the firm positions as superior to traditional brush-and-roller techniques. Services are delivered on a project-by-project basis with free on-site quotations, supported by a direct-to-consumer go-to-market model using a website, phone, email, and active Facebook and Instagram profiles. Revenue is generated entirely from one-time project work; the firm has no external investors, no parent company, no software or subscription revenue, and no disclosed financial metrics. Customer engagement is largely local and reputation-driven, evidenced by public testimonials across residential, retail showroom (Neptune by Closa), education (Cygnets Pre-School) and health and fitness (Rural Barn Health and Fitness Academy) engagements.
