    It was a pleasure having Chris working in my home. He tidies up each day. He is efficient and reliable. He gives good advice and I definitely want him to do more work in my home

    Communicated well, punctual and left the rooms clear and tidy at the end of each day. Work was thorough and to a good standard.

    A massive disappointment

    Posted 18 March

    Cannot give full review as Check a trade limit the space. C & L. Careless and unprofessional decorating, defective carpentry work. It will cost me more money to put matters right. Lots of cash in hand, no receipt / invoice given. Work carried out in November 2024. Have been trying to get them to come back and put things right. First it was excuses for not coming and now he just ignores my messages. Start work at 8am, breakfor breakfast at 10.30 (latest), back to work at midday (earliest) and gone by 2.30pm or 3pm at the latest. Wanted to leave a blow by blow review but not allowed to.

    Wallpapering Cloakroom

    Posted 05 March

    Chris did an amazing job for one of our clients. He transformed a plain bathroom into a tropical oasis with the most beautiful wallpaper which he pattern matched very well. I continue to use Chris and his team for our client projects. Highly recommend.
