    This company is brilliant. They kept me informed on start dates, did exactly what they said they would, when they said. They charged me exactly to the quote and provided great advice on the project. Highly recommend them. We have already booked them in for our next project.

    Could not recommend Shore Decorating highly enough! Barry's communication was excellent and Hayden who carried out the majority of the work was exceptional, quiet, tidy, cannot fault his work! Amazing work ethics! Both went above and beyond, really kind, wouldn't hesitate to use them again and to recommend!

    Good Job well done.

    Posted 16 October 2025

    Great Job done by Haden and Billy under the watchful eye of Barry. I had one wall that I thought would be a huge problem but thanks to Barry's perseverance it was soon sorted. I would certainly recommend Shore Decorating to you and will be using them again in the new year. Well deserved top marks.
