    A great local company highly recommended.

    Posted 27 January

    It’s always a little unnerving when you get work done from people you don’t know based on other people’s reviews. We needn’t of worried. Gary and Jo were awesome!! 4 rooms painted and re-wallpapered in the space of a little over a week. Can’t recommend them enough. Will be rebooking them again for other parts of the house in a few months.

    Highly recommend, very impressed with their work

    Posted 21 January

    I thoroughly recommend Hawkins decorating to anyone in need of their services. They were very knowledgeable, accommodating and efficient, they did a wonderful job painting walls in our grade II listed house with damp issues. We are very impressed with the final result and will definitely call them for any future decorating needs.

    Fantastic company. Had to change the dates as we were moving to a new property, but Gary and Jo were very helpful and obliging. The quality of their work was exceptional and the price was very fair. Would highly recommend them.

    Living room as well as the hall, stairs and landing

    Posted 17 August 2025

    Gary and Jo were a pleasure to have as our contractors. They were entrusted with painting the hall stairs and landing, from the top to the bottom, as well as the living room. Their expertise and understanding of our requirements were evident throughout the project. They also provided valuable insights that helped us make informed decisions and achieve absolute perfection. I highly recommend them for any paint requirements work.
