For commercial painting around Corsham, we treat travel as part of the spec: on the A4 between Chippenham and Bath, with M4 J17 a short drive north, and our diary already covers nearby work. We regularly travel to Box (3 mi W) and Melksham (6 mi SE) for similar jobs. Premium trade paints (Mylands, F&B, Tikkurila where it makes sense) — not contractor white. Daily clean-down at end of shift — no piles of dust sheets left in your hallway.
