We asked Justin to decorate our hall, stairs and bannisters. He did a great job and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use him again. The quote was clear with all charges displayed. He arrived on time, protected floors and other surfaces, tidied up and vacuumed after himself each day. The quality of painting was very good. He was conscientious and cared about the finish product.

Justin has just completed the redecoration of my living room to an excellent standard. He was always on time, worked continuously to ensure the work remained on schedule for completion as planned. Hi work is second to none and I would not hesitate in recommending Justin to anyone seeking a very good Painter and Decorator. Thank you Justin.
Brilliant work, went above and beyond on a difficult job. Very competitive price and really friendly and polite man. Would definitely use again.
