  • Redecoration of several rooms

    10Verified Review

    John and Danny have just finished decorating my lounge, kitchen, cloakroom and bathroom, and also painted a bedroom ceiling and garage door and I am delighted with what they have done. They arrived punctually every day, were friendly and cheerful throughout, kept me advised of everything as they went along, and did several extras to exceed expectations. The workmanship is superb and they were incredibly tidy, leaving the rooms fully useable each night, thus keeping day to day disruption to a minimum. I will certainly be using them again in the future and have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

Company info

Hi, thanks for taking the time to look at my profile. I'm John Murray and I've been decorating for over 30 years now.

I've done all aspects of decorating from heritage and listed work through to modern offices and houses and I can help you turn your tired looking rooms into fantastic spaces that you'll be wanting to show people! 
I can hang wallpapers and murals, work with all types of paints and spray. Over the years, through working on heritage sites I've also done paint effects such as marbling, wood graining and stencil work. 
I like to fully protect the areas I work in with polythene sheeting and dust sheets, and generally use dustless sanding equipment to create the least amount of dust possible. But at the end of the day I'll hoover and leave your property as clean as I found it.
