Professional, Reliable and Excellent Quality
Ian has to be the best decorator we have ever had. He painted the baby room at my nursery and worked over the weekend so there was no disruption to the children's routines. He was professional throughout, cleaned up as he went, and even moved all the furniture himself so my team didn't have to. His attention to detail is superb and the room looks brand new. We are so pleased with the result that we have already booked him to decorate our next room. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.Verified reviewerJob location: GU7RJames G10 Painting / Decorating

Excellent job, would recommend!
We’re really pleased with the exterior painting of our windows, doors, facias and soffits. Ian and team were punctual, tidy, and clearly took pride in their work. The finish is smooth, neat, and has completely refreshed the look of the house. Great communication throughout and everything was completed on time. Would happily recommendVerified reviewerJob location: GU12RTracey P3 Painter / Decorator

Fix the mess I made removing my fitted cupboards - strip wallpaper, fill holes, fix electrics,carpet
Ian and Scott have done a bunch of painting and decorating for us in the past. This time I had removed the fitted cupboards in my bedroom in a fit of DIY enthusiasm, leaving dodgy exposed electrics, gaps in the carpet, holes in the walls, gaps in the skirting boards, and some very very orange paint! They quoted a very reasonable price to fix all of the above for me, are friendly and work hard, they've done a lovely job! Now I have a beautiful blue bedroom, with lovely soft carpet, it is so much better!Verified reviewerJob location: GU2RAmy P
