We have been using Steve for nine years on a range of internal and external decorating work, he consistently delivers first class quality with meticulous preparation being the key to an outstanding finish. Multi-skilled, he is expert at wallpapering, emulsioning, wood work paint and staining to name but a few techniques from his portfolio. He often goes the extra mile and advises on things we would not have thought of and we have to be careful not to add 'just jobs' when he's onsite. Highly recommended and rightly much in demand we would not consider using anyone else.Verified reviewerJob location: RH1 10 Excellent

Steve recently redecorated bedroom and en-suite. Excellent work, with meticulous attention to detail. House left tidy at the end of each day. Job started on time and finished on schedule. Over the last 5 years Steve has decorated several rooms in our house, and his workmanship is always of the highest standard.Verified reviewerJob location: RH210 A stunning job, again

Steve decorated our dining room, which had all sorts of cracks and blemishes and had not been painted for more that 20 years. This is the second room Steve has decorated for us and we could not be more pleased with his workmanship and professionalism. He has done the most excellent job, tackling every imperfection thoroughly. He did the work while we were on holiday - also for the second time - and we felt confident in his ability to do the job well and take care of our property. He has done a stunning job.Verified reviewerJob location: RH210 Highly skilled decorator

Steve decorated the outside of my house in the summer - both pebbledash and windows, repairing the wooden windows where necessary. He was thoroughly professional, kept me informed of progress at all times, and did a really smashing job. Always punctual, friendly and extremely hard working, I was delighted with his work. I would not hesitate to recommend him to my neighbours, friends, or indeed have him back again.Verified reviewerJob location: RH610 Painting bedroom
