Highlights
"Painted a shabby bedroom which Steve totally transformed. Always meticulously tidy, takes such pride in his work and expects of himself the highest of standards. Excellent service. Thank You."
"We have been using Steve for nine years on a range of internal and external decorating work, he consistently delivers first class quality with meticulous preparation being the key to an outstanding finish. Multi-skilled, he is expert at wallpapering, emulsioning, wood work paint and staining to name but a few techniques from his portfolio. He often goes the extra mile and advises on things we would not have thought of and we have to be careful not to add 'just jobs' when he's onsite. Highly recommended and rightly much in demand we would not consider using anyone else."
"Steve recently redecorated bedroom and en-suite. Excellent work, with meticulous attention to detail. House left tidy at the end of each day. Job started on time and finished on schedule. Over the last 5 years Steve has decorated several rooms in our house, and his workmanship is always of the highest standard."
