Universal Painters did an amazing renovation to the front of our house. They worked hard and transformed the house from tired and worn out look to respectable and pleasant making the house look dignified on the street. Highly recommend thanks again.

The render on my house needed refurbishment. I had been impressed by work by Universal on other houses in my area and requested a quote. This was provided promptly and efficiently by Gary. Dean and Charlie carried out the work a couple of months later. They did an excellent job in difficult, heatwave conditions and I am very pleased with the results. I would not hesitate to recommend Universal.Verified reviewerJob location: OX49- CColin L
