"Ian has decorated all the rooms in my house. It has all been done to a very high standard. Some of the walls were in a very poor state. Ian's repairs to these has been excellent and I defy anyone to find where he had to repair them. I feel very fortunate to have found Ian."

Ian made a great job of painting our hall, stairs and landing. Prompt and efficient and very helpful in providing samples to determine colour scheme. Arrived on time every day, very easy to get on with and he estimated the duration of the project accurately. He is a very experienced and skilled painter and decorator. We highly recommend Ian and would definitely employ him again. Thank you Ian for a job well done.

Ian has decorated two rooms for us and we were keen to book him for two more. He is personable, reliable, works to a high standard and gives value for money. You couldn't really ask for more.

Ian did a great job with our hall, stairs, landing and small bedroom. He started on the agreed date, was on time every day, always clean and tidy, and was very easy to have around. He was especially helpful in changing one of our wall colours mid-way through, and still completed the work on time to a high standard. We’ll ask him to quote for future work and have no hesitation in recommending him.

Ian has worked very hard and kept to the deadline in some very tricky conditions (loads of snow). Ian's price was very fair and his work is of an excellent quality. We will be using his again for other parts of the house.

Ian did what he said he’d do, complete decorating of walls and woodwork, even changing one of the colours at the last moment. He turned up on time and left the flat clean and tidy; a good tradesman and a gentleman! I would have no hesitation recommending him.

Ian was very professional, punctual, clean & tidy, and did an excellent job of all our exterior white woodwork, he stained our soffits and facias and painted the outside render. He even offered advice that was not part of the job. My wife and I are delighted with him and his work and at a reasonable cost. I cannot recommend Ian highly enough.

Ian visited us and provided a comprehensive and reasonable quotation for the complete decoration of our Hall, Landing and Stairs. This involved 15 doors and frames, both sides, all 6 panel doors and 5 having borrowed lights. The staircase also had a high well, ceiling and walls were all painted with high quality emulsion and woodwork was all done with Dulux undercoat and gloss. All this decoration was done with a high level of care and professionalism, which we were extremely happy with and had no worries relating to security etc. Ian was extremely pleasant and we have already asked him to return and do more decorating and also asked him to quote for our daughters house. We have no hesitation to recommend Ian Birmingham

A small section of the lounge ceiling had been taken down to locate a leak. Ian agreed to the minimum disturbance of the rest of the ceiling. He did a perfect repair, matching the Artex pattern and painting the whole ceiling, sticking to his original estimate. Nobody will ever notice that a repair has been done. He took care to leave the absolute minimum of mess. It turned out that a wall unit that I had put up was insecure. He helped me take it down and gave me some better wall plugs to help me make a better job of putting it back. Ian was a pleasure to deal with. I will certainly use him again.

Ian quoted us promptly after been referred by a friend. He arrived on time, did an excellent repair job on a cracked ceiling after water damage. The finish is so good the repair is nearly invisible. A proper expert tradesman. He even gave some free advice and filled some cracks on a wall we are going to decorate.

I would highly recommend Ian - he did a wonderful job re-decorating our home office including wallpapering, emulsion and woodwork. He was always on time and left his work area very neat and tidy at the end of the day. Neat finish to all aspects of the decorating, and you could tell he was highly skilled with years of experience! We were so impressed we have asked for him to quote other jobs in our house.
