Why Wycombe Abbey School Trusts Brierty Decoration
A school of Wycombe Abbey's calibre demands decoration that is both beautiful and practical — finishes that withstand the daily life of 600 pupils whilst maintaining the aesthetic standards of a Grade II listed estate. Brierty Decoration's expertise in both heritage and modern finishes, combined with our ability to deliver complete projects within tight holiday schedules, makes us the ideal partner for this prestigious school.
The Project
Wycombe Abbey School was founded in 1896 by Dame Frances Dove and occupies a magnificent estate in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. The school's Grade II listed main building, dating from the original Wycombe Abbey manor house, is complemented by modern teaching, boarding, and sporting facilities — each requiring a different decorating approach.
Consistently ranked among the top independent schools in the UK, Wycombe Abbey's reputation for excellence extends to the maintenance of its estate. Brierty Decoration has been engaged on multiple projects across the campus, delivering high-quality decoration that stands up to the demands of a busy school environment.
Our work is typically carried out during school holidays to minimise disruption, requiring careful planning and efficient execution. We understand the importance of completing work on schedule so that students and staff return to beautifully finished spaces.
From the historic main building with its period features to modern dormitories and teaching facilities, we bring the same commitment to quality and attention to detail that Wycombe Abbey brings to educating its students.
