We recently had Carl round to paint four rooms in our home, and we couldn’t be more impressed with the results. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, professional, and even exceeded our expectations. Each room was prepped with great care — surfaces were cleaned and protected, and the attention to detail was second to none. The lines are crisp, the finish is flawless, and the overall transformation is stunning. If you want someone who will complete a job to a very high standard, Carl is your person! Thank you once again!Verified reviewerJob location: LS1010 Fantastic neat job

Well what can we say about Carl? He us quick but so efficient and everything has to be just right. He is one if the most loveliest, kindest and helpful people you'll ever meet. We had to leave Carl to do the decorating alone in the house and we trusted him completely without any doubts. He had to move all the furniture. Nothing was too much trouble. He came back after the job was completed to make sure everything was okay. We would 100% recommend Carl. He certainly is the best. Thank you Carl. You're one amazing decoratorVerified reviewerJob location: LS1810 Decoration of a number of areas

Forbes Decor has generally been a local business, specialising in pudsey and surrounding areas, although i have worked nationwide on various projects.
Friendly local business and no job too small, all aspects undertaken including paper hanging. High standard work, FREE quotations.
I have been a decorator by trade for the last 22 years.
I went into self employment pretty much from the start and have had a reasonably successful career in that time. I started mainly on domestic projects locally and expanded from there.
I have also worked with various other decorating firms on a sub-contract basis. This has involved projects with Tesco, Barclays, one-stop convenience stores, Texaco, Councils, police stations, prisons, student accommodation and local authority housing.
I like to think I am a perfectionist and I always like a job to be done to the best of my ability.
