    waster

    Posted 25 September

    came for quote , over priced on materials and time . turned out to be very unreliable, and very distant on communication which when we did , it wasn't committed. i suspect what i was asking , was far too much for him as regards getting the quality . in all, way overpriced and time waster

    I am very sad to read your thoughts on my work Martin, especially since we seemed to get on so well in person, but if that's how you feel then fair enough and I wish you the best.

    House repaint. Interior.

    Posted 15 July

    I cannot recommend Aidan enough. Not only is he a brilliant painter/decorator but he is an absolutely lovely guy. He understood what I wanted, made suggestions/contributions. His attention to detail is spot on He went above and beyond just decorating. We had daily chats/coffee and he was so good with my 3 dogs even feeding them when I was going to be late. Me & the dogs will genuinely miss him being around. He is also worth every penny. I thought his estimate was reasonable but seeing the standard of work I think I got a bargain. I’d rate higher than a 10 and write more if I could!

    Painting 3 rooms in our home

    Posted 10 April

    Aidan was fantastic from start to finish. He was reliable and knowledgable, communicating with us every step of the way. He went out of his way to explain his work to us, and helped us with our own DIY giving hints and tips for other work we are carrying out. His work is amazing, he’s super neat and tidy, we are over the moon with how our walls in our living room and 2 bedrooms have turned out, he’s done a phenomenal job on the woodwork. We are asking Aidan back to do our hall stairs and landing along with our kitchen in a few months. Would highly highly recommend Aidan to others. Thank you!!

    Bannister and wall painting

    Posted 25 March

    We recently hired Aidan to freshen up the banister in our property. He did a fantastic job, replacing all the colours with a fresh coat of paint. Aidan also added some detailing that made it look even better than before. As part of the work, he also painted the high ceilings and walls on our third floor. The finished product looks very professional and polished. Aidan is great to be around when working and always positive, he showed up on time and was flexible with us when we needed to skip a day. The cost was very reasonable for the work done. Would definitely recommend!

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.
