Very reliable team of decorators - who were able to turn their hand to removing ceilings, re-plastering and carpentry to create new skirting boards as well as put up new ceilings. Very good finish, would recommend highly.

I had a panel at roof level that is in an awkward position that needed painting. It was such a small job but its in a dangerous place. Called Dave earlier in the week and he came out a few days later and did the job with no fuss. Left the garage open so he could work without me being there. Reliable, honest and gets the job done:) Would use again without hesitation Thanks Dave

Dave did a great job of decorating some difficult areas, and was flexible enough to agree to do additional work over and above that originally quoted. He was very helpful and friendly, worked hard and was very competitive price wise. I will be using him again next year to do the exterior of my house.

Acorn Decorating decorated the entire external of our Victorian house. Huge amount of woodwork and 'fiddly' windows with glazing bars. No plastic double glazed windows - so a lot of work. Work was carried out to a very high standard, and the guys were reliable, tidy and courteous. We hope to ask them to carry out some internal decoration later in the year. Highly recommended.

Dave did a fantastic job on painting the whole exterior of a 5 bed detached Home. He even went the extra mile and painted things that were not quoted for. He made sure the drain pipes matched the paint colours being used on the rest of the property. He also painted the underside of the door entrance which he did not have to do. The work he also carried out involved: Mock Tudor beams being sanded and sealed where necessary and then painted with 2 coats Masonry was all treated and then made neat and then painted Garage doors were sanded and then painted All frames were also glossed Dave finished the work well within time and left the place tidy. He was also prompt and professional throughout. The quote he supplied was extremely competitive. I can't sing his praised enough. Fantastic job carried out and I would have no problem recommending or using again.

Response from Acorn Decorating:
I am disappointed that this customer has given us a 5 for Tidiness. When we left the property he gave us the impression that he was completely satisfied, as his other scores suggest. We did have the complete run of the two rooms we were decorating, and I can only presume that he means that these were not left completely clean and tidy each night, but this would have only been as we were due to return each following day. I do appologise for any misunderstanding or inconvenience we caused.
