    A professional at work

    Posted 2 days ago

    This is the fourth job Steve has done for me and as usual his work was excellent. He a very professional worker, always turns up on time and works hard before clearing up and leaving the place clean neat and tidy. This time he faced a truly dreadful task with the preparation before he could even begin the actual decorating, much of it left by previous workmen but he just gritted his teeth and got on with it! And I am so pleased with the results. Thanks Steve. And thank you for the cake as well!!!

    Really pleased with the work — everything was finished to a very high standard. Very tidy, reliable, and paid great attention to detail. The rooms look fantastic and were completed on time. Would definitely recommend and use again.

    The finish is important

    Posted 19 September

    This is the second time I have used Steve and he was every bit as efficient as before. He has painted the rendering on my bungalow this time and picked up and completed odd jobs neglected by the builders (silicone on one.or two joints etc) so that it.looks so much better. He also decorated the large lounge diner, doing all the extra preparation work needed for an elderly neglected bungalow,so it looks great now. I'm really pleased with the results.

    First class decorating service

    Posted 28 August

    Having previously used SD p&d we were happy to use them once again. Steve carried out the work, first protecting the room from dust and spillage, and then prepared walls and woodwork before wallpapering and painting woodwork to a fist class finish in the time promised. We are extremely happy with the service he provides and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
