    Decorating in bathroom

    Rob did an excellent job and booking was really straightforward. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a skilled decorator and the price was very reasonable too. Would definitely hire Rob again for any future decorating jobs. Thanks again.

    Excellent decorator - highly recommend

    We couldn’t have been happier with Rob. He’s really easy going and chilled presence to have around. Totally reliable on attending and we are really happy with the quality of work he’s done. He did three rooms for us. Clear and reasonable pricing. Highly recommended

    Reliable and painstaking decorator

    Rob was hired to paint our lounge and some additional shelving upstairs. As with all the work he has carried out for us previously , he was painstaking and methodical with a lot of preparation done before starting the painting. The results are excellent. He is always punctual and friendly and very easy to have in the house. We highly recommend him as a reliable, hardworking and trustworthy painter and decorator who takes pride in his work.

    Reliable and hardworking decorator

    Rob has redecorated four rooms for us now and each time has proved to be a reliable and hardworking professional. He was punctual, hardworking and unfailingly friendly and courteous. We are very pleased with the end results and will definitely be calling him in again next year to paint the remaining rooms in our house. Highly recommended!
