Forbes Decor has generally been a local business, specialising in pudsey and surrounding areas, although i have worked nationwide on various projects.
Friendly local business and no job too small, all aspects undertaken including paper hanging. High standard work, FREE quotations.
I have been a decorator by trade for the last 22 years.
I went into self employment pretty much from the start and have had a reasonably successful career in that time. I started mainly on domestic projects locally and expanded from there.
I have also worked with various other decorating firms on a sub-contract basis. This has involved projects with Tesco, Barclays, one-stop convenience stores, Texaco, Councils, police stations, prisons, student accommodation and local authority housing.
I like to think I am a perfectionist and I always like a job to be done to the best of my ability.
