Feature wall - wallpaper in lounge and bedroom
Posted 07 July 2019
We asked John to return and complete wallpapering a feature wall in our lounge and bedroom following his work previously carried out in our daughters nursery. We weren’t disappointed with the outcome, the finished look is amazing and surpassed our expectations. Work was completed in a morning and as always John was courteous and personable throughout. Once finished we have asked John to quite us for future paint work to our new build home as we are so pleased with the quality of work.

Wall-papered nursery wall
Posted 24 June 2019
Required some help wall-papering our baby girls nursery wall. John contacted me quickly and was able to arrange to see us the following day along with a competitive quote. The work was carried out quickly, efficiently and professionally - couldn’t have asked for more. So impressed I’ve booked John back to complete another 2 of our rooms for additional wall-papering.

Thank you for visiting my profile.

I hope you find what you've been looking for in terms of a reliable, professional tradesman.
Look no further Magnum Decorating will tick all of your boxes and more.
Magnum is the name of the business run by me, John Wale. I have been a decorator for 30+ years. I started in the 1980's when the building boom was at its height, working on new build houses. I later ventured out into the residential side, amassing many satisfied customers along the way.

In the early 00's I became a teacher of Painting and Decorating, teaching in Oxford, Harlow and Chippenham. I am an A1 Assessor and have assessed many apprentices along the way. However, I decided to hang up my hush puppies for my work boots again, which is the best decision I have ever made. Sometimes I work with some of my previous apprentices when needed. This ensures quality is maintained, as all labour that I employ is qualified.
Please have a look around at some of my pictures, I can undertake all types of decorating:

Interior and Exterior
Any type of wallpaper
All paint types
Hand Painted Wall Murals

Free advice is something that is valuable to potential customers, to help them make the most out of their new project. Magnum now has its own YouTube Channel, fill of informative videos with a little fun along the way https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2zulgz-kBF9QMW8q3MaEcg
