    Prompt, Pleasant, did a fantastic job. I’m pleased now I was let down by my son as I know now I had a better job done. Cannot say thank you enough.

    Bedrooms painted

    Posted 02 January

    Alan painted my downstairs in October and he was so brilliant that I called him back in late November to paint mine and my daughter’s bedroom. Both had problematic feature walls but he was so brilliant and got the job done with ease. He was super professional. Very friendly. Very quick and tidy and helped us so much with colour decisions. Wish I had more of my house to paint as I’d definitely ask him back. Thanks Alan!

    Brilliant Job

    Posted 17 October 2024

    Alan arrived on time every day. He was quietly efficient and nothing was too much trouble. Great standard of workmanship and would highly recommend him. Started off doing one room, but ended up doing the complete house!

    Hallway, living room, downstairs floor.

    Posted 08 October 2024

    Alan was absolutely brilliant. All the paintwork he has done is to an exceptionally high standard. He was on time every day. So tidy. Always had a smile on his face and a lovely personable manner. Makes a lovely change to have a polite tradesman that is willing to go above and beyond. Will 100% use Alan again.

    Exterior painting

    Posted 01 August 2024

    Alan came at short notice to do the exterior and has done a nice job. After a small issue appeared with the wooden strip, he revisited to resolve it as soon as he was able and we are very happy with his work.

Hi, I'm Alan I am 42 ayears old, with over 20 years’ experience in decorating!

I work on my own 90% of the time unless a job needs more hands on site.

  • Internal paint AND spraying
  • External Painting
  • Emulsion
  • Wood work
  • Paper hanging etc.

I now spray out new build properties for a faster fresher mist coat as well as top coating ceilings via spraying for that flawless finish.
