    Great decorators

    Posted 14 January

    Dave & Hannah have recently painted our hall, stairs & landing - a “real pain” of a job because of its complexity. Delighted with the result. Workmanship can only be described as excellent. Good timescale and a fair price. Great and friendly to work with. Highly recommended.

    Top Job - would that all contractors were as good

    Posted 18 November 2025

    We were impressed with David from the day he came to quote until the end of the work. We could not have asked for a better team. David and his team were professional and the standard of work was second to none. David has an eye for detail and the rooms look brand new. This was a big job for us as we wanted the whole house painting but due to David's forward planning we were not inconvenienced in any way. All materials were cleared away at the end of the day and the site was left spotless. David was happy for us to go out and leave him to it and we had absolute faith in his integrity.

    Top Job

    Posted 31 October 2025

    We were impressed by David from the day he came to quote for the job right until he finished. We could not have asked for a better team. The work was carefully planned and organized and was carried out efficiently and skillfully. Time management was very good and the job went completely as planned with no delays. The standard of the work most impressed us and the attention to detail. The rooms look brand new. We would certainly hire his again and would be happy to recommend him to anyone. He was happy to get on with the work if we went out. He left the place spotless. Well Done David.
