Highlights
"Brilliant. Really happy with standard of work. The quote was not the cheapest but we absolutely believe in you get what you pay for and in this case it was true. The prep work, the finish etc all top notch. They came recommended and we were not disappointed."
"Very efficient and professional. Very good communication."
"I have happily requested the help of the Team at Simpson Decorating on a number of occasions. I would use them again without hesitation and highly recommend them. They are a polite, professional and dedicated team who deliver work to a really high standard. I am delighted with the 2 bedrooms that they redecorated for us, both rooms were completely transformed, and the work was completed quickly and without fuss."

Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
