Gareth was professional throughout, got the job done in the time he said he would and done a great job. Turned up when he said he would which is a bonus with tradesmen and also provided valuable information for work moving forward. Thanks.

Detailed reviews
Really happy with our freshly decorated bedroom and staircase. Gareth was very professional and polite. He took great care with the work he carried out and he also saved us a lot of hassle trying to do the high ceiling up our staircase. Highly recommend Gareth. He will definitely be my go to decorator from now on. Fantastic job!
Gareth has painted a few different rooms in our house, he is very neat and has done a great job every time. Our walls were a bit of a mess when we moved in and he prepped them and made them look good as new. And all cutting in has been perfect!
