    Painting the exterior of the house. Eventhough, weather is too hot, they managed to complete the job

    Posted 2 days ago

    Jamie is very professional and complete the job to very high standards. He and his friend has to travel long distance to get my place, eventhough the completed the work I the agreed time scale. A small miscommunication caused he used different colour to the requested. He accepted his mistake and give a discount on the price agreed. Jamie and his friend did a good job. I will recommend Jamie to anyone require building work.

    Ivy on Front of house sanded and house painted

    Posted 04 August

    Brad was amazing - he is a meticulous and highly contentious guy and a self-proclaimed perfectionist which definitely worked in my favour! He did a great job on the house which was validated by 3 of my neighbours who asked for his number. I would highly recommend Jamie’s company - I believe anyone who works with Jamie would be absolutely fantastic. Communication was awesome throughout as well. Highly recommend!

    Would recommend

    Posted 01 August

    Jamie was quick to respond to my enquiry, came and quoted a fair price. Started 2 days later as promised and finished by the day I asked him to. Jamie and Brad did a great job and were always happy to advise on different bits round the house. I’m calling them again if i need decorating work in the future.

    Contacted Jamie for my 2 bedroom house interior to be painted. From beginning to end his communication was faultless, we are really happy with the results and would highly recommend his services.

    Exterior restoration work and replacing gutters

    Posted 29 May

    Jay Renovations carried out extensive restoration work on the exterior bay windows and guttering of our property, and the results were outstanding. The top bay windows required significant repair and restoration, and all of the old cast iron guttering had to be replaced. The workmanship was completed to a very high standard, with great attention to detail throughout. The finished work has completely transformed the appearance of the house, and we are extremely pleased with the quality, professionalism, and care shown from start to finish. Highly recommended.

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.
