    Painting the walls, doors and ceiling of the hallway.

    Ian Squires professionalism, attention to detail and pleasant disposition was excellent. At the end of each day, Ian left the area being worked in a spotless condition. I could find a single criticism. The charge Ian made for his service was competitive and well worth the price. I fully recommend Ian Squires.

    Painting job done well.

    Ian Squire Decorating painted a feature wall in my bedroom. He moved furniture, prepped and painted, then returned the furniture when completed. The job was done to my total satisfaction. I’m very happy. This is the second time I have used Ian’s services.

    Great quality and service

    I have used Ian’s services before and invited him back to quote on repainting our bedroom and office ceilings. These had been done before but we had electrical works to replace our ceiling lights so there were marks and fillers that needed sanding back. Ian did an outstanding job as usual and the quality of his work is great.

    KInd and thoughtful contractor, very fair quotes.

    Ian is a really nice chap, helpful and pragmatic with quotes and suggested work. The quality of work is very good, and what us refreshing is the tidying up afterwards. Recommended.

    Beautiful, precise work.

    I began using Ian to restore my beautiful Edwardian Sash windows towards the beginning of the year, and since then, he has decorated my flat from top to bottom. This wasn’t a simple painting job and many repairs and more complicated work had to be done. All of which he executed brilliantly and effectively. Ian is entirely trustworthy, and a delight to work with. He takes instructions well, and is always timely and respectful.
