    Review of decorating work done in December 2025.

    Posted 3 days ago

    I would highly recommend Justin and his son for painting and decorating. It was a pleasure to deal with him from start to finish. Communication was excellent throughout, which made the whole process very straightforward. Justin and his son arrived exactly when promised each day and worked efficiently . The quality of the paintwork is first-class, with a beautifully finished hall and landing and a newly painted staircase that has completely transformed the space. The attention to detail and professional approach really show in the final result. I am very pleased with the project.
