    Professional, reliable painters and a pleasure to be around.

    Posted 1 day ago

    Third time we've asked Roy to do some painting for us. He is professional, totally reliable and reasonably priced. Our kitchen is now a lovely, bright room; the worn out, wooden countertop has been transformed by painting it in a sparkling "chilli pepper" red, sealed in varnish. Above all, Roy and Jay are neat and tidy and a real pleasure to be around. I wouldn't consider using any other firm.

    Sitting Room, Hall, Stairs and Landing

    Posted 24 January

    Roy and Jay painted my hall, stairs and landing followed by the sitting room. They were very professional, courteous, efficient and tidy. Nothing was too much trouble. I am very pleased with the work and have asked them to come back in a few months to do more painting for me.

    Fantastic Service from Start to Finish!

    Posted 30 October 2025

    Roy redecorated a bedroom for us and we couldn’t be happier with the result, from the initial quote to the finish. Roy was friendly and everything was handled professionally. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him.
