    Plastering

    Posted 31 August

    Friendly, professional and would highly recommend

    Matt has recently plastered and painted our living / dining room, we are very pleased with the finish. Matt was friendly and professional and the house was left clean and tidy at the end of each day. Matt was also knowledgeable when advising us regarding paints and finishes that we requested Would recommend for sure

    Skimming

    Posted 04 August

    Skimming of a chimney breast

    Brilliant! Greg was quick to come and give me a quote for the job as well as great at keeping in touch with when he could carry out the work. He arrived promptly at the agreed time to carry out the job, which was done to highest standard and with zero mess left behind. Couldn’t recommend G J Barden & Son highly enough! Any time I need work carried out in the future I know who to call.

    Exterior Painting

    Posted 22 June

    Reliable, quality decorating

    Greg and Matt Barden have just completed an excellent job decorating the outside of our house. The were very reliable in arriving when they said they would, the quality of the work was first rate and they tidied up very well. Overall it was great work at a reasonable price. Matt had also done an excellent job earlier in decorating our hall, stairs and landing. We would definitely use them again.

    Excellent plastering and painting duo - the best - highly recommended!

    Matt and Greg have worked on a number of different renovation projects in the house and each time have provided excellent and thorough plastering and painting. Very polite, timely and masters in their trades - we always trust that they will leave the project looking absolutely incredible. We will ofcourse be booking Matt & Greg again when the next project surfaces. Highly recommended!
