Highlights
"Ian came over to give a quote, he was on time, polite and honest. He started the work when he said he would, finished the work when he said he would and the professionalism and quality of work was 10/10. I would highly recommend, you will struggle to find a more fair, hard working decorator. I will be using Ian again for sure!"
"Ian organized everything including the scaffolding, carpenter and the portaloo. He did exactly what he said he would do and was on site when he said he would be. The newly painted eves ans pip work look lovely."
"We recently had our hallway and staircase painted by Ian and his colleague Peter, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. They were an absolute pleasure to have in our home—efficient, fuss-free, and incredibly professional from start to finish. Both Ian and Peter were kind, punctual, and communicated clearly throughout the job. They worked with care and attention to detail, and their patience with our very inquisitive small children was so appreciated! The space looks fresh and beautifully finished. Highly recommend them and would definitely work with them again."
