Honest reliable service
I hired martin do some decorating work inside my house, from the moment I met him he was really helpful, very polite, he cleaned as he worked & I'm extremely impressed with the quality of his work, so much so I’ve booked him again for a few months time. I want to recommend him, but I don’t want to either because I’ve finally found a good reliable decorator that I want to keep for myself. He’s a very lovely man.Verified reviewerJob location: SG2RLeanne F10 Wallpapering
