Phil was an extremely hard worker, very helpful and willing. He was able to keep any disruption to a minimum and worked round our needs. He worked quickly but to a high standard. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Phill painted and decorated the whole of our four bedroom house from top to bottom. Including hall, stairs (two sets) and landings. He made good all imperfections in our walls, ceilings and woodwork - they now look amazing. All for an excellent price. He was always on time; extremely quick; communicated well; very quite when working (no radios etc); accurate and always cleared up perfectly. Phill himself is very personable and truly a lovely chap who I would highly recommend. I've already recommended him to my daughter and neighbours because I'm confident he will do a brilliant job again and again. Thank you Phill- it was an absolute pleasure meeting you

Phill, painted two rooms in flat (my living room & kitchen) and did a great job. He communicated clearly by email before the work started, then turned up on time, was really friendly and professional, helped move all of my furniture and put it back in place afterwards, he was tidy and cleaned up after his work. Both rooms were painted really well and I would be very happy to use Phill again for other rooms in my flat in the future. Highly recommended!

Phil undertook 3 weeks work to completely paint our 16th Century period property. Throughout the 3 weeks Phil arrived on time and worked hard throughout the job to a very high standard. He also ensured he used high quality materials and paints to complete a great finish. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I was really pleased with all the work Phil did for me. He was professional and friendly and did an excellent job on both the outside of my house and two rooms inside. There was minimal disruption, and he did the job quickly and efficiently in just a few days. I would definitely recommend Phil and wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

Efficient, methodical and trustworthy! Phill has complete the exterior decorating of my property and it looks amazing. Not only was he a professional throughout he was a respectful person to have around with a young family living in the property. I would recommend him and have already booked him in for decorating an internal hallway and ceiling.

Can't recommend Phill highly enough. He's a talented decorator , takes a lot of pride in his work and is fast, clean and efficient. He's already done our kitchen, lounge and dining room, and is going to be doing the rest of the house over the next few months. He arrives when he says he is going to and leaves the place spotless when he's finished. Great attention to detail and a very high-quality finish, both painting and wallpapering.
