    Whole house painting and filling in cracks

    Posted 3 days ago

    Aidan was brilliant, great communication throughout the process and great knowledge about products and how to end with the best results. Reliable and punctual with timings and went beyond expectation with the work. Was able to advise us on choices and how to get the best results. Would highly recommended him for any house decorating work. He even made the effort to come back and do touch ups once we moved in.

    Talented, reliable and accommodating

    Posted 6 days ago

    Aidan is skilled, efficient and very easy to work with. The quote provided by Aidan was detailed and to a much better standard versus other contractors, which gave me confidence and clarity he'd understood the brief. Aidan painted a landing, bathroom, toilet and front room and built and installed floating shelves, too. I'd happily ask Aidan to quote again for work and do intend to reach out if in the market again. Lastly, Aidan's willingness to be flexible really helped navigate my time pressures. All in all, incredibly happy with the standard and quality of work completed.

My name is Aidan Carroll, I am a Theatrically Trained Scenic Specialist, specialised in manifesting the oddball designs of designers, keeping costs as low for the payee as possible.

Although down as 'Painter/Decorator', my skillset does go much further.

Special Effects Painting, Natural Textures through Paint Effect. Kitchen Cabinet Transformations and Wall Murals. Wooden India’s, Stripping and Re-Painting. I focus on furniture and removable items, to work on in my workshop and am easily contactable for updates on request.

I am trained in basic carpentry and upholstery, as part of my theatrical degree from RADA and both fields, I practice daily for bettering myself and my craft.


The last few years has seen me channeling my skills into interiors and design, see my Instagram; @a.j.concepts for updates on where my personal taste lay, multi medium paintings and print ideas, fabric and wallpapering ideas under production as well as a unique style of painting to my own personal taste.

Controlled chaos, decadent dystopia, I make lamps from scratch, units, and fully customise furniture, a bespoke service for clients.

My taste may be maximalist, but there is always joyed to be found in the tranquility of minimalism and No Job Is Too Small.


As a tradesperson, I am always looking for work, I especially love to help assist in design realisation, so if you have ideas and need help, then my years of theatrical painting and home design may be a great asset to you.
