  • Painting & Decorating The Crown Pub Shillington | Thistle & Bristles

    At Thistle & Bristles Ltd, we love transforming local spaces, and our recent project at The Crown Pub in Shillington, Bedfordshire has been one of our favourites. This much-loved village pub has always been at the heart of the community, and with a fresh coat of paint, it now looks as welcoming as ever.

    Refreshing the Interiors with Style

    We used 30 litres of high-quality paint (that’s roughly 53 pints in pub terms!) to give The Crown Pub a stylish, modern update. The new colour scheme has brightened every corner of the interior, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for both locals and visitors.

    Why We Chose Scrubbable Paint

    For a busy pub like The Crown, durability matters. That’s why we used scrubbable paint, which is ideal for high-traffic hospitality settings such as pubs and restaurants. This specialist finish ensures the walls are:

    • Easy to clean and maintain

    • Resistant to spills, splashes, and everyday wear

    • Long-lasting, keeping the pub looking fresh for years to come

    So whether it’s a pint of ale or a plate of food, the walls can easily be wiped down without losing their fresh appearance.

    Supporting Your Local Pub

    The transformation was timed perfectly, as The Crown Pub in Shillington reopens today from 4pm. We encourage everyone to stop by, admire the new look, and enjoy a well-earned pint in this beautifully redecorated space.

    John Mowers Ltd In Hoddesdon Boarding and skim

    This project involved the refurbishment of ceiling areas within a commercial washroom, transforming a dated environment into a modern, uniform space. The existing ceiling in the toilet cubicle was carefully removed and replaced with new plasterboard, securely fixed and levelled to ensure a flawless base. To create continuity, the Artex ceilings in the adjoining basin area and corridor were expertly skimmed to match the new finish. High-quality materials, including Thistle MultiFinish plaster and SBR+ bonding agents, were used to achieve a smooth, durable surface. Throughout the works, care was taken to minimise dust and disruption, maintaining site cleanliness and health and safety standards, resulting in a professional and refined finish.
