I have worked in Painting & Decorating for over 35 years, both in commercial and private sectors. I am fully qualified with a City & Guilds Craft certificate.
I take great pride in my work and with my experience I can advise clients on colour schemes, textures and finishes for internal decoration only.
I also have an excellent knowledge of interior design, having worked with accredited designers and builders. I have also worked within the film industry working on film sets within film studios.
My experience covers working in the commercial field, decorating restaurants, offices and shops.
The most important element of decorating for me is that my clients are happy with the finished result, you’re only as good as your last job. Please note I DO NOT DO EXTERIOR Work.
