We recently had our bedroom decorated by Carl and couldn’t be happier with the results. He was excellent at communication from start to finish—keeping us informed, listening to what we wanted, and offering helpful suggestions. The work was completed to a high standard, with great attention to detail. Highly recommend!Verified reviewerJob location: LS1210 Painted entire house, top to bottom

Carl was brilliant. The job he made of my lounge is fantastic and I’m over the moon with the results. In only two days he has transformed my room. His workmanship is meticulous. His punctuality was great. Carl is so polite, courteous, honest and extremely easy to get along with. Nothing was too much trouble for him and I will definitely be asking him back to paint my front door soon. He is now in my contacts for the next time I need a decorator and I highly recommend him!Verified reviewerJob location: LS28

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.
