    Interior painting

    Posted 5 days ago

    We had three bedrooms painted and couldn't be happier with the results. Oli completed all the work to a high standard and the end result looks great. We were indecisive with some of the colour choices and Oli really helped us out with recommending colour schemes. We are particularly pleased with the main bedroom that colour matches our existing wardrobes. He was polite, respectful of our home, and always arrived on time.

    Odd jobs done well

    Posted 5 days ago

    Oli put some blinds up for me. He also fitted some cupboards in my lounge and put some shelves up for me. His communication was great, the jobs were completed on time and he tidied up any mess. Would recommend!

    A number of fiddly tasks

    Posted 20 July 2024

    Oli responded quickly and came the very next day. His manner was cheerful and friendly. He set to the tasks immediately and had them done - and done well - in next to no time. There were a number of fiddly jobs - mending a cupboard door, fixing an IKEA wardrobe to a wall, fixing a coat rail into suspect plater - but he was happy to do the lot. Highly recommended.
