Highlights
"Peter is very friendly & professional, he always turned up when expected and explained every step. The end result looks great."
"Excellent Painting Service – Highly Recommended! I recently hired P.Matthews and Son to repaint my bedroom, including the walls, door, skirting boards, and ceiling—from a dark grey to a crisp white—and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Pete Matthews did an outstanding job. He kept me informed throughout the process, regularly checking in to make sure I was happy with the progress. He was friendly, respectful, and clearly takes great pride in his work. The job was completed as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality. I’m very impressed and will definitely be hiring Pete again."
