Highlights
"We contacted R & D Decorating to get them to give us a quote for completely re-decorating our hall, stairs and landing including walls, ceilings and woodwork. Rob arrived promptly and spent time with us, giving a detailed breakdown of costs for the job. We accepted his quote, given that he could start fairly soon and was very well reviewed. Rob worked extremely hard with almost no breaks except when we made him an occasional coffee and did a perfect job. He finished the work within three days - quicker than expected - and was a pleasure to have around. Highly recommended."
"We have been using Robert for years and he must have decorated every room in the house, multiple times over! He is a fantastic painter/decorator - skillful, reliable and a great communicator. He's been so good that I am now using him for my first home and will continue to do so as long as I need work doing. Paint/wallpaper/every room done brilliantly. A bonus is that he is a polite and personable guy - a pleasure to have in the house."
"Reasonable quote, turned up on time (!) worked long hours, really happy with result. Lovely guy and great work - painting woodwork, ceiling, wardrobes, lining paper and full bedrooms wallpapered. Tidy and neat work. Would recommend."
