    Staircase decorated very well.

    We had our staircase walls decorated by Malcolm. They had to be stripped, filled, covered with liner paper and painted. Malcolm did an excellent job and we are happy. He is neat, tidy, punctual, friendly and we would recommend.

    Hallway decoration

    From quote through to completion, Malcolm was punctual, friendly and reliable. He completed the job to time and to a very good standard whilst being tidy. As I work from home, he also kept his radio to a low volume which was appreciated.
