    Great service and finish

    Over the past 2 years John, Gemma and Kev have redecorated our whole house - most recently the kitchen and dining area. As always, they did a fantastic job. So thorough and efficient, offering good advice on the best paint for the kitchen and how to seal worktop edges etc. They've transformed our house and couldn't be happier with their work.

    Redecoration of kitchen, main bedroom, bathroom and part hallway.

    I have had had 2 redecoration jobs completed by John Cargill & Co this year. Kitchen, main bedroom, bathroom and part of the hallway. Gemma has done a totally great job everywhere. She is professional, pays attention to detail, tidy and quick! It's a pleasure to have her working in the house and I really recommend this company.
