Roy and James did a fantastic job! The whole downstairs and stairwell was a grubby shade of grey- previously white, which needed a great deal of attention to restore back to its finer glory! Roy gave me a thorough quote for all the work which they adhered to - no hidden extras. Both he and James where extremely polite and very caring about my house and always left it as they had found it. They worked as fast as the paint would allow them. Reliability is something I demand out of everyone that works for me and they certainly were. The finish job was extremely professional. If you are looking a finished job that will last -look no further Roy really knows what he is doing. It was a pleasure and you can't always say that can you!
