    Fantastic painter - reliable and efficient

    James was very reliable and did a beautiful painting job in two rooms for us. He matched the paint colours perfectly and stuck to his original quote and his timetable. We were utterly impressed with how much he got done in a short time and how clean and tidy he left both rooms. His work was extremely precise and looks fantastic. He was recommended to us by a friend and we would thoroughly recommend him. We will definitely ask him back to do more paint jobs.

    Excellent painting work - would definitely recommend

    James has painted the kitchen of our new Brighton apartment. He’s done a fantastic job and made it look really fresh in the exact colours we wanted. He’s really friendly, efficient and provided and excellent service - would definitely recommend and we will definitely be asking him to do any future painting work we need.

    Nice people, great painting

    I have employed James to do lots of painting jobs over a few years. I like working with him because he is a good decorator, helpful, reasonable rates and flexible plus he is nice to have around and we feel very comfortable having him in the house whether we are in or out.

I have been painting for over 15 years, starting my first business in Western Australia after passing the exams for the Painters Registration Board.

I recently returned to the UK, relocating to Brighton at the beginning of 2014, it was too hot over there!


I have always painted for the satisfaction of doing a good job, exceeding the client's expectations and enjoying the process.

I respect people's homes, cleaning up after myself!

I have references spanning the last 8 years, all available on request, and recent references from the Brighton/Hove area.

I have quickly established myself as a reliable and experienced painter receiving excellent references from all of my clients.


I generally do residential painting, mostly interiors, but I do some exterior work when the conditions are suitable.


Please call me for a sensible and free quote!

Thanks, James Manton
