    Tim did an excellent job decorating a challenging stairway and landing. The quality of his work is first‑class and we are absolutely delighted with the finished results. He is friendly, reliable, always punctual, and keeps everything extremely tidy. We would have no hesitation at all in recommending Tim.

    Very efficient and clean quick job from Tim. Talked through what we wanted and he listened to make sure we got the finish we wanted. Tim was super friendly throughout the process, and kept his working space very clean, which was very appreciated.

Able Decorating was founded in November 2011. I have 15 years experience in the trade and decided to start up my own company after my employer immigrated.

During my 15 years experience I have been asked to complete tasks ranging from painting small rooms in domestic properties, to entire schools, bus stops and garden furniture.

I am also experienced in putting up coving, artexing, staining woodwork, waxing wooden floors and outside decorating.

I pride myself in being punctual, tidy, polite and offer a professional service. At all times I will keep the customer informed of the progress.
