    Exterior restoration work and replacing gutters

    Jay Renovations carried out extensive restoration work on the exterior bay windows and guttering of our property, and the results were outstanding. The top bay windows required significant repair and restoration, and all of the old cast iron guttering had to be replaced. The workmanship was completed to a very high standard, with great attention to detail throughout. The finished work has completely transformed the appearance of the house, and we are extremely pleased with the quality, professionalism, and care shown from start to finish. Highly recommended.

    Painting hallways, and all rooms downstairs

    Jamie was very polite and hardworking. He has great attention to detail and made sure the work was finished when I needed it to be by working extra long days. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good job at a decent price.

    10/10 job

    Jamie was on time, polite, personable, friendly and did a great job - including ceiling painting (which isn’t the easiest). He even put my furniture back while I was out. 10/10

Bringing your vision to life with 10+ years of experience.


I’ve been a painter and decorator for over a decade, delivering everything from simple refreshes to full-scale transformations.


I pride myself on professional, high-quality finishes and a stress-free service for my clients.


When it comes to larger projects, I don’t just stop at decorating.


Over the years, I’ve built a trusted network of skilled professionals, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, tilers, and more.


I bring together to handle complete home renovations.


This means you only need to deal with one point of contact while I coordinate everything behind the scenes, ensuring your project runs smoothly from start to finish.


Alongside painting and decorating, I also offer luxury finishes such as Venetian plastering, a specialist technique, which I trained in Italy to perfect.


Venetian plaster can achieve a wide range of effects, from highly polished marble-like walls to soft matt finishes, textured stone looks, or even metallic sheens.


Each finish is completely bespoke, adding depth, elegance, and a unique character to any space.


Whether you want something sleek and modern or warm and traditional, it’s a way to give your home a truly individual, high-end feel.


Whether you’re after a straightforward paint job, a high-end finish, or a full home makeover, I make the process simple, reliable, and tailored to your vision.
