    You can rely on J8 to get the job done!

    We're so grateful we found Jamie! After an extremely bad experience, he was able to rapidly engage a skilled decorator to resolve coving issues, paint our lounge and source a specialist to fit the cornice in our kitchen. Jamie also did some painting himself and even came on the Sunday evening to put down floor coverings ready for Monday as we were running out of time before xmas. Jamie completed the project by the agreed deadline. We highly recommend using Jamie as not only is he an excellent decorator but he has a network of tradespeople who he can call on for any requirement.

Bringing your vision to life with 10+ years of experience.


I’ve been a painter and decorator for over a decade, delivering everything from simple refreshes to full-scale transformations.


I pride myself on professional, high-quality finishes and a stress-free service for my clients.


When it comes to larger projects, I don’t just stop at decorating.


Over the years, I’ve built a trusted network of skilled professionals, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, tilers, and more.


I bring together to handle complete home renovations.


This means you only need to deal with one point of contact while I coordinate everything behind the scenes, ensuring your project runs smoothly from start to finish.


Alongside painting and decorating, I also offer luxury finishes such as Venetian plastering, a specialist technique, which I trained in Italy to perfect.


Venetian plaster can achieve a wide range of effects, from highly polished marble-like walls to soft matt finishes, textured stone looks, or even metallic sheens.


Each finish is completely bespoke, adding depth, elegance, and a unique character to any space.


Whether you want something sleek and modern or warm and traditional, it’s a way to give your home a truly individual, high-end feel.


Whether you’re after a straightforward paint job, a high-end finish, or a full home makeover, I make the process simple, reliable, and tailored to your vision.
