We have engaged Graham's services several times; I believe this is the fourth or fifth time now. And every time, I promise to leave him a review and then don't get around, for which I apologise Graham! His is currently redoing our ceilings, hall and stairs and the gloss work and repainting our kitchen and dining room. He'll be finished next week. Previous jobs have included the bathrooms, main bedroom and the living room. He always does a superb job with meticulous attention to detail. If he encounters an issue, he'll talk us through our options and make suggestions, always with our best interests in mind. Communication is excellent, quality is excellent, price is very reasonable and he always leaves the place as livable as possible at the end of each day. Never had a problem with anything he's done for us.

This is the second time we have used Graham. If you want a professional decorator that takes pride in his work, who is on time, tidy, trustworthy, gives great decorating advice, and is a lovely person to have around, then look no further than Graham. He decorated our bedroom, lounge, and front door, and even got our doorbell to work again!! He is worth every penny, and we wouldn't hesitate to call on him again if we can find more rooms for him to decorate! Thanks again, Graham.

We recently had Graham spend nearly 2 weeks at our house painting our kitchen walls, ceilings and cabinets. He did a fantastic and thorough job, and we are really happy with the results. Not only that, but he was a really nice person to have around and we were completely comfortable with him being in the house. His knowledge was second to none, providing advice and input when needed (but always letting us make the final choice), and the quality of the results are telling. We would definitely use Graham again and 100% recommend him.

Graham has just finished decorating our living room and we are really happy with the outcome. The quality of the finish is excellent. Graham has a real attention to detail and is very friendly to have around. We have a period property, and Graham gave some excellent advice on the best approach to take. He is also very trustworthy and reliable - we were away for one week and felt very comfortable leaving Graham to carry on in our absence. He kept the house locked up safely each day and even watered the flowers! This is the second time we’ve used Graham, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Graham did some great work for us last year, and we didn't hesitate in choosing him again when we wanted a couple more rooms decorating this year (including a large three-storey hallway). Once again, Graham demonstrated excellent attention to detail - as well as painting, he skillfully made good a damaged ceiling, and repaired a damaged door. We can't recommend him highly enough.

Graham has just finished decorating our kitchen, utility and cloakroom and has done an excellent job at a fair price. The job involved painting the walls, ceiling, radiators, skirts and doors, plus hanging paper to a feature wall in the cloakroom.. Everything was completed on time and to a very high standard, with excellent surface preparation and two coats of paint on all surfaces. Graham started promptly at 8am every day working through to 4.30pm when he cleared up fully so we could still use the rooms being decorated. Graham is an "old school" professional and does a great job. Not only do I recommend him, but we have also accepted a quote for Graham to decorate our lounge and dining room and asked for a quote to decorate our hall, stairs and landing.

Graham painted my walls last year to a high standard so I did not hesitate to use him again this year to paint my doors and skirting board. Graham did an excellent job, left the place tidy every day. I was very happy that the agreed schedule and budget were adhered to. Graham was very friendly and I found his expertise and advice reassuring. I will be using Graham again for all future painting jobs.

A couple of years ago Graham decorated our lounge and later the hall and stairway to a very high standard. We had no hesitation in getting him back last month to do two bedrooms and the kitchen. He made sure that the house was left tidy every day and that the kitchen could still be used. Graham's long experience means that he is happy to listen to what the client wants but is able to advise if there may be a better/cheaper alternative. He is one of the old school and we really can't recommend him highly enough.

Graham has just finished working on a couple of rooms in our house. The quality of his work is excellent, and he shows real attention to detail. He did an extremely good job of stripping back, repairing and perfectly restoring a damaged old ceiling. He communicated well and always arrived exactly when he said he would, and the jobs took exactly as long as he said they would. We felt completely comfortable leaving him alone in our house with our keys. We will definitely be asking him to come back to help with future jobs.

Graham has been working with me over the last year, decorating my entire house. Wallpapering and painting my bedroom, painting my guest room, spare room, lounge and hall, stairs and landing. We had to arrange this work one room at a time and Graham was extremely reliable in arranging future dates to return and continue with the next part of the project. He is extremely friendly and helpful, his work is to a very high standard and he is very tidy. He also provides great advice which has been invaluable to me.

We have had Graham redecorate our hall, stairs and landing. Our walls needed stripping of wallpaper and the plaster underneath needed a lot of attention. The walls were then painted and all the woodwork rubbed down and repainted. Graham took a lot of care and seemed as keen as us to have a high quality finish. He is a very clean and tidy worker. We would definitely recommend him.

Graham took on the painting and decorating of the interior of our whole house (which we had been upgrading to a high standard) and the paint finish is stunning. Graham impresses as he has a superb work ethic, takes the utmost pride in his work and is very organised. He listens to what the client wants, plans his work accordingly, is helpful and approachable. He has great to give guidance on what paints to use to match the high standard of the refit. Organisation and communication were very important as we had to work to a budget. He kept us informed of his timing prior to starting the work. On the job, he was helpful as regards refitting locks and draft excluders even though this was not on the original remit. Professional, approachable, helpful and kind.

Graham painted and wallpapered my main bedroom to a very high standard. He prepped and wallpapered the walls, painted the ceiling, skirting boards, door and window sill over 4 days. I had to wait a short while as he is so busy but it was worth it. He kept everything tidy, arrived each day when he said he would and is very friendly and helpful. I have already booked him in for the next room to be decorated.
