    Outstanding service, highly recommended

    Posted 28 October 2025

    Ivan and his colleague delivered outstanding interior decorating for our 3-bed semi. They adhered to timelines, were punctual, and worked non-stop, even weekends. Professional, tidy, and no disruption to us while we worked from home. Quality of work was superb: stripping wallpaper and treating the walls, filling, painting (including special bathroom/kitchen paints), and wood surfaces (bannisters, skirting, doorframes). Great value, no price surprises. Proactive with touch-ups and offered excellent advice. Attention to detail was exceptional. Would definitely use again!

    Painting and decoration of a bedroom and kitchen

    Posted 05 September 2025

    I asked I&A to come back and work on 2 rooms in addition to the other rooms they had already finished. The work was being done whilst my father was in hospital as a surprise for when he got back. The quality and standard was excellent and I can honestly say they are best contractors I’ve hired. Completely thorough and excellent communication when problems arose. I honestly can’t praise them enough.
