Exterior decoration and new front door fitted
Alan and his team did an excellent job including preparing and repainting all windows, repainting the masonry and fitting and painting a new front door. Alan always kept us informed if there were any delays due to weather and was always easy to contact if necessary. Would use them again.

Painting decorating
this was our second Job done by Alan and his team. From day one when he called to give estimate we felt he was the man for the job professional yet, but friendly clean and tidy worker and his staff knowing just how he wanted the work completed. In the past we have asked for estimates from other supposedly tradesmen and been so disappointed with the work but a team like Alan's I would employ and employ again.

New ceiling, plastering, decorating and painting.
When our kitchen ceiling partly fell down, I contacted Alan as he had already been recommended to me. He was round quickly and got started on the job in the next few days. I was very impressed with the quality of the work, the detailed and descriptive quote and the value for money. I was also very pleased with the cleaning up done afterwards and have no hesitation in recommending Alan and his team.

Painting a one-bedroom apartment after internal alterations
Alan had a great appreciation of materials and paint finishes and how they could be used to best effect.  He was really helpful with colour-selection where the aim was to try to create a varied but "seamless" interior across the whole apartment. The end result was crisp and subtle. Thanks Alan, you really cut the mustard!

Stripping of walls, painting, skimming, and woodwork in bedroom, hallway and sitting room
One of the refreshing things about Alan was his timely provision of a good detailed written quote at the outset of the instruction. He was easy to contact, came round to the property to give a quote quickly, and he and his assistant Dan, turned around the work in the time estimate provided. I recommend him and hope to use his services again in the future.
