We were very impressed with the care taken by David and the quality of his work. His prep work was of the highest quality, the rooms were cleaned-up and left for us to use every night, and the final paintwork was also finished to a superb quality. We would happily recommend and use David again. P.S.. our dogs also loved him.

David decorated throughout my house. Previous occupant was a heavy smoker and David neutralised the smoke stains and odour completely and decorated every room from floor to ceiling in a very skilled way. So pleased not only with the finish and result but also with his punctuality and tidiness. Every day he tidied (and vacuumed!) before leaving at the end of the day. Happily recommend David and would definitely use him in future.

David has painted and decorated my lounge and hall. David's work was exemplary and he left the rooms clear and tidy each day. Additional tasks were completed without any fuss. He was punctual and I felt from day 1 I could leave him to get on while I went out. The bungalow looks so much fresher and amazing. There were no hidden extras and what was estimated was what I paid. Looking forward to having David do the bedroom and porch.

Second time we have used Dave, initially to do the exterior of the house a few years ago, this time to do the hall, landing and stairs. Dave was always punctual and worked to a high standard, within the estimated time and budget. We are very pleased with results and his workmanship.

David and I prebooked the decorating months in advance as I was very tied up with work. He was true to his word and reliably turned up. He declined a deposit although it was a big job...bedroom, hall, staircase, landing, lounge and dining room and I paid as we went along. David's work was exemplary and mess was minimal. Additional tasks were dealt with with a minimum of fuss. He was punctual and trustworthy. The house looks so much fresher and sparkling. Just need the kitchen doing David!

David decorated our whole house and we were absolutely delighted with the results. His estimation of a start date was both realistic and on time. He kept us fully informed as to when he anticipated he could begin the work. His attention to detail is second to none, as is his patience and attitude, even when asked to carry out additional work above the original quote. We would not hesitate to recommend David and sincerely hope we can rely on him in the future. Thanks David, we are very happy with our home.

We needed our second floor loft conversion rooms and landing decorated, as well as our first floor landing, bedrooms and hallway redecorated. David is exemplary in his approach and extremely thorough. He had good suggestions and carried out the decoration to a high standard throughout. He is a natural perfectionist and we were very satisfied with the end result. He is very likeable and pleasant to get on with. I wish him all the best for the future.

David painted my living room, hall, stairs and landing. I wanted the work done in Spring 2022. He anticipated the work would take 2 weeks. In February 2022 he indicated he expected to be with me in early May and kept in touch to update me. He started work on 24 May. The work was completed to the timescale of two weeks and the final charge was as per the estimate. David was polite, friendly and conscientious. He arrived promptly each day and I was delighted with the methodical way in which he approached the work. He used a vacuum sander on the larger surfaces so dust was minimised and he vacuumed and cleared up as he went along. There really was no mess left for me to clear up each day which was a godsend. The preparation was really thorough and all his workmanship is of really good quality. The finish is excellent and he has real attention to detail. He was very helpful, being happy to do things like take down blinds and move furniture as needed. I have already asked him to come and decorate my kitchen next spring and would recommend him without hesitation.

From the initial contact, Dave was very quick to respond to requests for a quote. He turned up at the appointed time and submitted his estimate promptly. When a date was set for the work to start, advice about choosing paint colours was very helpful. On the day work started he arrived on time, very clean appearance and set about doing the decorating. His attention to detail was excellent and he was very meticulous in everything he did. The estimated timescale of the job was met and he left the house with a brilliant job done. I can't recommend him highly enough.

David painted our living room. He prepared carefully, filling holes and smoothing the plaster, including removing some old trunking, filling the holes this created, and creating a perfect smooth wall in line with the coving. He had quoted for walls, ceiling and woodwork, but also offered once he had started the work to paint the radiators and pipes. The result is excellent. The walls are smooth and the paintwork is perfect. He even left us some paint to touch up once we remove the curtain poles.

David has completed several decorating jobs for us. He is always professional, reliable and conscientious and we've always been impressed with the quality of his workmanship. On occasions, starting the job has unearthed other issues but David has always been flexible and good at problem solving and his polite and friendly manner make him a very easy person to have in the house. Overall, we will continue to employ David and can't recommend him highly enough.

David has previously painted and decorated a number of rooms indoors for us and we had no hesitation in asking him to paint the outside of our house. As with the indoor work, David did a great job, excellent paining, very thorough and professional, always on time and very clean and tidy. Work started and finished on time and on budget. it was a pleasure to do business with him. I would be happy to recommend David and will be using him again.

My husband decorated our lounge but it was too much for him to do our dining room, so after reading the excellent reviews about David, I convinced my husband to call him and ask for a quote on our dining room. David came and gave us a quote and we asked him if a date could be arranged after I had decided about whether to change our curtain tracks. He was so patient because it took me several weeks to make up my mind. The date was agreed and David was fantastic. The cracks on the walls were pointed out but he found others that we had missed. I expected lots of dust to go through to the Lounge but it did not. David arrived on time, worked hard, was friendly and polite and cleaned up. I am still amazed at how he did it without any mess. As we have never used a decorator before and my husband is a perfectionist, the night before David came, he said he hoped the room would be ok. YES we are both very happy with his work and certainly recommend him and when any future decorating is needed, I know who to call. Thank you very much David.

Dave gave us a quote after we arranged a convenient date and time, was slightly earlier than time which I liked, because to me that shows they are reliable. Didn't overcharge compared to other quotes. Polite, took his time, and done such a good job, we asked him to do three extra bedrooms.

I would definitely recommend David to others. We initially commissioned him to re-decorate two of our bedrooms. He did such a good job we asked him to complete the re-decoration of the rest of the house. A genuinely nice person, friendly and polite. He painted walls, skirting boards, door frames, stair banisters and ceilings. Furniture and floors were carefully covered and the end result was excellent. David is a perfectionist, which is exactly what we were looking for, and we were not disappointed. David also really helped me out of a tight spot by plastering a wall in the bathroom for me at very short notice. For any decorating or plastering work in the future he would be, without a doubt, the first person I would call.

David has painted the outside of our house, the hall stairs & landing and fence panels, ( 3 different jobs). Each time the work was done to a very high standard. The cost of the work is kept below what he could charge. So giving good value for money. David is reliable and friendly and I would highly recommend him.

We employed David on 3 separate occasions to do painting and decorating in my father’s house. He did external and internal paintwork and papered a ceiling, all to a high standard. He always arrived when he said he would, did what we wanted him to do and did it very well. We were quite happy to leave a key for him to work in the house alone. His prices have always been fair. We will certainly ask him back when we need any more work done.
