    Painting & Decorating

    Posted 07 December

    Craig did a lot of work on my house at the start of 2025. I reached out to Craig in November 2025 as wanted him to carry out further painting and decorating on the property. Once again Craig has done an excellent job. He's prompt, hardworking, tidies up and completes work to a very high standard.

    We were very pleased with the work done by Craig. He was polite, friendly, and consistently professional throughout the job. He put in long hours, worked hard, and maintained a clean and tidy workspace. The quality of the painting was excellent, and we would confidently recommend him to others looking for a reliable and detail-oriented painter.
