Clive Campion & Son Ltd: family painting and decorating from Redditch

Clive Campion & Son Ltd is a family-run painting and decorating business based in Redditch. The company states that it has been in the painting and decorating industry for over 40 years, and that Clive set up his own business more than 35 years ago. His son Matthew joined the firm in 2013, and Jayne, Clive's wife and Matthew's mother, runs the office and handles administration and accounts.

The team travels from Redditch across Worcestershire, Warwickshire, South Birmingham and the areas in between. The company describes itself as having become one of the most popular decorators in Redditch and the surrounding areas, a claim that reflects its own presentation rather than an independent ranking.

Painting and decorating across the full range of work

The firm states that it covers all aspects of painting and decorating and that its experienced team undertakes work to match each client's requirements. It also indicates that it cleans up after completing a job so that the property is left in a tidy condition.

Beyond standard painting, the service list includes wallpaper hanging and small remedial works. For larger jobs such as plastering and carpentry, the company works with a team of reputable tradespeople rather than handling those trades in-house.

Residential, commercial, exterior and new-build projects

The company divides its work into several areas:

• Residential decorating: aimed at making a home a relaxing, safe space to enjoy.
• Commercial and retail decorating: work in commercial and retail properties of any size, with experience of tight deadlines and delivering on time and within the client's budget.
• Exterior decorating: the company advises on the best time of year for the project; exterior work starts at the end of March, weather permitting, and finishes at the end of September.
• New builds: support from a blank canvas, with a plan of action and deadlines met.

Paints, colour matching and advice

To complete jobs to a high standard, the team uses paints including Johnstone's and Dulux. It also states that staff can provide professional advice from leading paint suppliers when required, and that if a client prefers a specific paint product or manufacturer, the company can colour match for them.

How a quotation and booking are handled

After an enquiry, the company arranges a mutually convenient time for Clive or Matthew to visit and look at the requirements, discussing which areas are to be decorated and offering advice if requested. A quotation is then prepared within two weeks of that appointment, with Jayne ensuring it is detailed so the client knows exactly what will be done if the quotation is accepted.

Once a quotation is accepted by email, the company offers dates for scheduling the work. Exterior work accepted during the winter months is scheduled for spring or summer to get the best results, while interior work can be done at any time of year. Dates are usually offered on a week basis rather than a particular day, with the specific days confirmed on the Friday before. Clients who need specific dates or days are asked to say so when accepting. The company notes that it can also speak by telephone for clients who prefer not to use email.

The people behind the business

Clive Campion has worked as a painter and decorator since he was 17 years old and prepares quotations with the customers' specifications. Matthew Campion joined in 2013 after previously working in a school; he quotes for work and runs jobs on a day-to-day basis. Jayne Campion joined full time in 2018, after a background primarily in the NHS in a clinical setting, and deals with customer queries, appointments and scheduling.

Current booking position

At the time of writing this profile, the site stated that exterior work for 2026 was fully booked, that quotations accepted after the end of May would be scheduled for 2027, and that prices may be subject to adjustment in line with potential increases from suppliers. It also indicated that work was being booked in for mid-December 2026.
