Total refurbishment of a 2 beds flat

The project took about 7 weeks, including a new kitchen, new bathroom, converting the en-suite shower into a utility room, with electrical and plumbing work and redecorating throughout. Russell Mills managed the whole project with incredible drive and energy. Whenever he contacted me with an unexpected "problem" he already had a solution, nothing was too much to the team, they were always cheerful and courteous. I came to trusting Russell's advice and judgment implicitly and to relying upon him totally. He seems to run a tight ship and the members of his team seem to respect him a lot! I could not have wished for a better project manager and shall be grateful for a very long time! Can't wait to finally move in!!

Painting and papering of dining room.

The work was originally estimated to involve just painting and papering, plus supply and fix of Victorian picture rail moulding to match existing. Further work was needed to repair plasterwork and to skim ceiling. The ceiling plasterwork was very well done, and the whole finish of good quality. The Mills' team were very helpful, and left the room clean and tidy.

Redecoration of living room, master bed and guest bed, hall/stairs/landing, plus additional carpentry on request.

We are very pleased that we found and contracted A Mills and Sons. From the first visit to discuss our needs and provide a quotation through to final completion and cleanup it was a pleasure to have such professionals work on our home. It is never easy having such significant work done, but Alan and Russell made the experience less disruptive that it could have been. They also brought a welcome sensor of humor, joyfulness and flexibility to the job. Even the youngest in our family found them kind and courteous. I strongly recommend A Mills and Sons for any internal decorative or carpentry work you may have in mind. ...Just keep any Lego sets out of sight!  ;-)

Decorating two bedrooms in Victorian semi

Alan and his team did a great job at a reasonable price and I would highly recommend them. They helped dismantle and re-assemble heavy oak furniture for me, and I felt able to trust them with my keys to carry out the work while I went on holiday. I will certainly use them again.
