    Painting of communal area of apartment block

    Posted 01 July

    We hired Darrall to paint the communal areas of our building, and he did a fantastic job. The finish is clean and consistent throughout, and he was reliable, tidy and respectful of the shared space. He worked efficiently, kept disruption to a minimum and clearly takes pride in his work. Would definitely recommend him for future decorating projects.

    Plastered living room & bedroom walls, and painted the entire flat to a high standard.

    Posted 28 June

    Outstanding Service – Highly Recommended! I had a fantastic experience with 1st Stroke Decorators. Communication was clear, timely, and friendly throughout. The team went above and beyond removing old fixtures, patching walls perfectly, and leaving everything spotless. The quality of work was excellent, and I truly felt supported from start to finish. Professional, reliable, and super helpful I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Thanks again for making my flat feel like home!

    Wall repair

    Posted 13 June

    Darryl expertly oversaw the repair of a wall that had a serious damp issue in my flat. It needed hacking back to the brick work, resealing, plastering and then repainting. He has done several jobs for my landlord over the years and always does an excellent job. Darryl has great eye for detail and always makes sure work is done properly, regularly following up to make sure everything is holding up as it should. He is also a delightful, kind person to have in your home!
