    Fantastic job

    Posted 05 February

    John was brilliant at tackling a tricky wallpaper job which included a sloping ceiling. I am so pleased with the result. John was quick to respond, easy to communicate with and a lovely man. Very professional, clean and tidy. Highly recommend.

    A true master of his trade

    Posted 18 December 2025

    John has just completed decorating the hall stairs landing and front door of our house. He was really accommodating to working around a small puppy and carpet fitter. A true master of his work. The finish is lovely. The free estimate was spot on and the price very reasonable. I have asked him back in the Spring to do the outside of the house. He arrived when he said he would , he kept the working area clean and tidy Very highly recommended.
