Meet Peter
From the flight deck to the paintbrush
Before Paint Space, Peter spent years as a commercial airline pilot, building a career on precision, checklists, and getting things right the first time. When his son needed him closer to home, he made the decision to stop flying and find work that let him be a present, hands-on dad.
He quickly discovered that the same qualities that made him a good pilot — attention to detail, methodical preparation, and a refusal to cut corners — made him an exceptional decorator too.
Paint Space has grown entirely through word of mouth and recommendation. Every project is treated with the same care and professionalism, whether it's a single room refresh or a full commercial fit-out.
"I used to be responsible for a plane full of people. Now I'm responsible for people's homes. I don't take either lightly."
— Peter Polhill, Director of Paint Space
How we work
A methodical approach to every project
Every Paint Space project starts with a thorough site visit and a detailed conversation about what you want to achieve. We take time to understand the space, the light, and how you use the room before a brush touches a wall.
Preparation is where most decorators cut corners and where we don't. Proper filling, sanding, priming, and masking takes time, but it's what separates a finish that lasts from one that doesn't.
We work cleanly, communicate clearly, and leave every site tidy at the end of each day. When the job is done, we do a final walkthrough with you to make sure everything is exactly right.
Preparation first
We spend as long as it takes on prep — filling, sanding, priming — because a great finish starts long before the topcoat goes on.
Honest communication
Clear quotes, realistic timelines, and no surprises. We tell you what we're going to do, then we do it.
Respect for your home
We protect your furniture, work cleanly, and leave the site tidy every day. Your home is treated with the same care as our own.
Quality that lasts
We use premium paints and materials and apply them properly. The result is a finish that looks great and stands the test of time.
