9.33 Wallpaper for WC
Posted 01 January
Shaun was efficient and did a good job with our wallpaper in our WC, making sure the complex design aligned as best he could. The photos speak for themselves! He actually did our wallpaper twice so I am a returning customer since I changed my mind on the first design. Easy to communicate with, always checked that I was happy with progress. Good job!Verified reviewerJob location: SS15Response from Gems Building & Maintenance Services
