    Bedroom Painted

    Louise prepared and painted a bedroom for me at short notice. She helped to pick out the paint and offered a great price Louise had good communication, was on time and did exactly as she said she would. I highly recommend Louise for any similar jobs.

    North London Job

    Louise is absolutely excellent. She has decorated our living room, hallway, staircase, and bathroom. We couldn’t be happier with the finished product.

    2 jobs : 1 x large lounge & then 1x large kitchen decorating .

    Louise did a great job for us and worked really hard every day . Louise was clear and professional in her survey and quotation stage so that we knew exactly what she has allowed for and listened to the requests we made for us to supply paint but not sundries. I have worked as a sub contract buyer for large contractors for over 20 years and whenever you get clear open and detailed quotes that meet the scope you agreed from a contractor you know you are working with a professional and honest and decent business. Louise is reliable and honest and conscientious and did a very good job on time .

    Good workmanship, poor reliability

    Louise was engaged to decorate an entire house. When she was on site, the quality of her workmanship was good and the finish was to a good standard. However, professionalism and reliability were disappointing. Attendance was inconsistent, with working hours often around 11am to 3pm and sometimes shorter. There were repeated delays, often at short notice, and changing reasons for leaving site, which made planning difficult. It felt the scale of the work may not have been fully anticipated. Based on my experience, I would not recommend her.
