Highlights
"We worked with Matt last year and again on a more recent project. His quote was accurate, timescale start estimate was very good. On the job we especially appreciated his prep: filling and preparing before decorating was impressive and with an old house like ours that was so important to us. Then the finished result was excellent, plus he had huge respect for our house regarding protection and cleaning. We have worked with Matt for painting, wall papering, woodwork and ceilings and will definitely come back when we need more work doing."
"Matt did a fantastic job inside my house. He spotted several hidden issues (my roof had leaked!) and came to me with a recommendation for how to solve them. So I highly recommend. This is the second time I’ve got Matt to do work at my house and I’ve been delighted both times."
"Did a really good job, would recommend. There was quite a lot of prep work needed before painting and Matt was very thorough with this and fixed things like rotten window sills. We’re really pleased with the work."
