    Decorate two rooms and replace skirting board

    Posted 3 days ago

    Shane and Junior from SM Decorating carried out work to an excellent standard. They were highly professional, knowledgeable, and extremely polite throughout the project. When unexpected issues arose with the wall surfaces, they quickly problem-solved and kept me fully updated; the communication was great, so I always knew the schedule. They were incredibly tidy workers, finished exactly on time, and the final finish on the all the surfaces is perfect. I would highly recommend them.

    I thoroughly recommend working with Shane.

    Posted 29 December 2025

    I have had the pleasure Shane working in my home a couple of times now. Shane is a brilliant decorator. He takes real pride in his work and produces an excellent finish. His prep is thorough and he tidies up properly afterwards- which is rare! I actually enjoy having him in my home - also rare. He’s polite, respectful and lovely to be around and he goes the extra mile to make sure you’re satisfied as his client. The only problem is that now I want him to do my whole house! I definitely recommend working with Shane.
