10 Painting / Decorating
Posted 31 May
I employed Paul to completely paint a flat that I had purchased prior to me moving into it.
Paul did an exceptional job with regard to his outstanding work and customer service skills! He responded extremely quickly to my request for a quote and was incredibly helpful in relation to the timeframe within which I had hoped that my new property could be painted prior to me moving into it. Paul worked many hours to complete the painting within the shortest timeframe possible without compromising on the quality of his work. He was always swift to reply to my messages and was very approachable and cheerful whenever we met. Paul did an absolutely brilliant job of painting my new flat!Verified reviewerJob location: SP1RKathryn T10 Painting / Decorating

Amazing Job by Paul- 100% recommend
Amazing job by Paul! He did a fantastic job painting our landing and tricky stairwell, and the finish is excellent. Communication was great throughout — he was open, honest, and kept us well informed. He managed to fit us in at short notice, which we really appreciated. A genuinely lovely guy who delivers top-quality work. I would highly recommend him!Verified reviewerJob location: SP710 Wallpapering
