    Quality professional work

    Posted 12 January

    Chris did a fantastic job of painting our living room. He knew exactly what to do at every stage and made it look even better than we thought. He was able to get the colour we wanted matched perfectly at Dulux and gave great advice on how to keep it looking fresh moving forward. He even took care of areas of the wall and ceiling that we hadn't noticed before, and it made everything look brand new. I would highly recommend CB Renovation because they are quick and efficient in their work, giving quotes and responding to messages. We will be using them again in the future. 10/10 quality work!

    Excellent Painter/Decorator – Efficient, High‑Quality, and Reliable

    Posted 05 January

    I recently hired this painter/decorator to complete a full repaint of my one‑bedroom house, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The work was incredibly efficient without compromising on quality. They were punctual, easy to communicate with, and kept everything tidy throughout the job, which made the whole process smooth and stress‑free. The transformation was exactly what I hoped for! I’m genuinely impressed with both the speed and the standard of the work. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and detail‑oriented painter/decorator.

    A very good and reliable exterior decorator.

    Posted 26 July 2025

    Chris was very informative about what he would be doing and when, and kept us in touch with progress. He responded postively to requests for small changes and his costs were very reasonable. His work was very good.
