Posted 23 July
One of "the old school", a perfectionist who takes pride in the quality and standard of work. Steve made a great job decorating the kitchen and pointed out and remedied several small unfinished jobs left by the fitters.Verified reviewerJob location: CM89.33 Prepare and paint walls and front door, repair tiles.

Steve is a very reliable, tidy and excellent worker. Did a fab job painting the interior of our whole house. Always arrived early and worked hard and nothing was too much trouble. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Will definitely have him back in the future.Verified reviewerJob location: CM310 Whole house interior painting

Steve has just finished a two-week project painting and decorating the entire interior of my home. His work was completed to an exceptionally high standard, and he went out of his way on multiple occasions to make sure everything was just right. He was punctual every day, and communication was clear and professional from the initial quote through to completion. I highly recommend Steve for any decorating work and will definitely be using his services again in the future.Verified reviewerJob location: CM7710 Painting daughter’s room
Posted 13 June
Steve did a great job decorating our daughter’s room - he had to remove picture rail, fill a fair few holes and dents due to bad DIY jobs and the room looks like new. He worked quickly and had great attention to detail. He even offered to varnish the floor for free. We are planning on using him again for more painting and decorating jobs around the house.Verified reviewerJob location: CM110 Great job with outside painting

Steve is thorough and quick and always gives reasonable quotes. He spots extra things that need doing and will just get them fixed if there’s no material cost. He’s done inside work too for us. I’d always recommend SteveVerified reviewerJob location: CM2
