Painting and Decorating Association (PDA)

The Painting and Decorating Association offers a range of business and industry support to Members while showcasing the scope of services offered by Members to commercial markets and consumers in the UK.

The Association aims to promote the painting and decorating sector within the construction industry and on the wider national stage as well as leading lobbying activity on behalf of the UK painting and decorating trade.

The PDA is the largest trade and employers’ association in the UK painting and decorating industry, with Members across the country.

The Association was formed from a need for painters and decorators to support each other and a desire to raise the profile of the craftsmanship within the construction industry – and both principles have remained the bedrock of the organisation since 1894.

Today, the PDA offers tailored support to painters and decorators across the industry, from skilled sole trades and growing SMEs to highly reputable national contractors.
