Highlights
"Excellent workmanship from Peter-would highly recommend"
"Peter has sanded, rust-treated and repainted our old heated towel-rail which now looks almost as good as new. He has also sanded and restained some of our wooden window sills to weather-proof them for the winter. All work completed as discussed and at the price quoted. Peter is a pleasant person to deal with and a very tidy, clean worker. We have used him previously for exterior work and are very happy to recommend."
"Having done a great job decorating our outside we asked Peter from True Colours to decorate the interior of our home. He has totally transformed our old staircase and worked his magic in the hallway, dining room and landing. He is completely trustworthy and we were able to leave him to it. What a pleasure to return to a beautifully decorated home. We will definitely get him back to decorate the rest of our rooms later this year."
