10 Jim is a highly skilled decorator
Posted 6 days ago
Jim was recommended to us by several neighbours and friends and I’m very glad we went with the recommendation. We had our master bedroom, kitchen and living room decorated. The price was very reasonable, the standard of work was excellent and Jim was very pleasant to have in the house, he didn’t rush the job and didn’t leave until we were 100% happy. I can highly recommend him.Verified reviewerJob location: KT1110 Great all round decorator- definitely recommend

Great decorator- completely transformed my sons bedroom- re lining, painting and putting up a wall of mural wallpaper. James was happy to advise on colours when asked for opinions, checked in on what fitting holes were still needed/ needed to be filled, and generally had a good eye for detail. Arrived on time every day and was clear in how long the job would take.Verified reviewerJob location: KT310 painted conservatory woodwork

Jim did a great job painting the stairwell and also fixing a few other items in the house. He was pleasant to have working in the house and worked around our busy household.Verified reviewerJob location: KT610 Retired

Job location: KT2Our hall and stairs in our three storey house plus a bathroom. The bathroom had water damage on the ceiling which was especially dealt with. Every day at completion of work the whole area was vacuumed and left tidy. A big thing in our view is that pictures etc are re'hung by Jim. His work is very good and he has an engaging personality. Highly recommended.

I have worked in Painting & Decorating for over 35 years, both in commercial and private sectors. I am fully qualified with a City & Guilds Craft certificate.
I take great pride in my work and with my experience I can advise clients on colour schemes, textures and finishes for internal decoration only.
I also have an excellent knowledge of interior design, having worked with accredited designers and builders. I have also worked within the film industry working on film sets within film studios.
My experience covers working in the commercial field, decorating restaurants, offices and shops.
The most important element of decorating for me is that my clients are happy with the finished result, you’re only as good as your last job. Please note I DO NOT DO EXTERIOR Work.
