    What a find! Great team of decorators

    Posted 27 November 2025

    Sam and his team decorated my lounge / diner and hall and stairway. They were great they worked so hard and efficiently and the result was amazing. Sam found me an excellent plasterer- Jamie and was always willing to help with advice, moving furniture in any way he could . I will certainly be using this firm again and recommending them to others. Thanks again

    Decorate porch, lounge/dining room and sunroom

    Posted 02 November 2025

    We can highly recommend Sam and Andy for your decoration needs. They carried out all the work we required to a very high standard communicating with us throughout the work. They were punctual, professional and very approachable. They even put work right that my last decorator had made a hash of free of charge. We will definitely use them again.
