    Great job by conscientious and hardworking decorators

    Posted 17 November

    We had Mark and his team (Luke and Jamie) in.to paint 3 bedrooms and our downstairs (kitchen, lounge and dining room). They did a fantastic job, which included filling dozens of old screw holes left by the previous owner. There work was tody and conscientious and they did a really good job, fitting into our schedule so other work could quickly follow. We are really pleased with how everything looks and would highly recommend them as they are hard working and very reasonably priced.

    Painting

    Posted 06 November

    We asked M&L Painters to paint the kitchen, dining room and sun room - the walls in all three areas were quite poor and they repaired all surfaces where necessary and then completed the painting - all done to an excellent standard and in a very timely fashion. Would be more than happy to recommend them.

    High Quality, Competitive Pricing, Achieving Tight Deadlines, Easy to Work With

    Posted 24 August

    I needed exterior windows /render to be painted. I choose M&L, due to good online reviews, competitive pricing, and ability to meet my timescales. I liked Mark when we met, so I also asked him to redecorate five rooms within my house as well. He was able to commit so I went ahead, unfortunately due to a delay by the scaffolders, I was concerned that Mark wouldn’t be able to complete on time. Mark and Luke worked very hard to regain lost time and ended finishing all the work ahead of the original schedule. Work was still done to an excellent quality. They were friendly, and easy to work with.

    It was an excellent service from start to finish. The quote was reasonable and Mark answered all my questions quickly. I'm very happy with the finish. Mark and Luke were friendly and professional and I will definitely be getting them back for future work.
