Excellent job, thank you!

Rob and his team are professional, courteous, efficient and achieve great results, by prepping walls meticulously before starting and then painting with care & precision! They carried out indoor painting and expert wall papering for us and the house now looks rejuvenated! I also appreciated their careful preparation in the areas to be painted, sheeting walls, cupboards, using good floor coverings and clearing up after they had finished for the day. Great work and thanks to you all - highly recommended!

Rob and his team painted our new conservatory and tiled the floor. We are very pleased with how the work has turned out. This is the second time we have asked Rob to do some painting and decorating but our first experience of his tiling. He is now our go to tiler as well as painter. I thought the cost of the job was very reasonable and the work was carried out as per schedule. All involved were very friendly throughout.

Rob and his team painted our dining room and painted/decorated our hall, stairs and landing. The whole experience was first class, with the team arriving on time each day and they were friendly and professional throughout. The standard of workmanship was excellent and we are more than satisfied with the end result. We will be using Rob and his team again in the future.

I found Rob's firm through Which? Trusted Traders and was delighted with my choice. The hallway, bathroom and kitchen of my flat were damaged by a water leak from above, so a comprehensive redecoration job was needed. Two members of Rob's team took care of the painting work, which was completed to a high standard, and Rob himself did the hallway wallpaper hanging, with excellent results. I'm extremely pleased with the work and it was a pleasure to have Rob and his colleagues around. Their work is terrific, they left everything in good order, and the service was friendly and professional. Highly recommended.

The fact I waited four months on the waiting list for quite a big job speaks volumes. It was well worth the wait. All the way from the initial quotation to the visit, Rob was professional and responsive. We have a large open plan living, dining and kitchen with high ceilings. The work required was a stain block to seal the nicotine and stains we inherited when we moved in, followed by two coats on all walls, ceilings and woodwork. The wall required repair in places, the attention to detail in preparation was next to none. The woodwork was properly sanded and caulked as required. They were clean and ensured everything was masked and dust-sheets throughout. They arrived on time throughout and ensured they checked our requirements throughout the job. They took me deciding that a couple of feature walls in a different colour just before they started on the first day all in their stride. They used professional paint and ensured they got a colour match to our requirements. I imagine they are not the cheapest available but it really is a case of you get what you pay for. The finish is immaculate and all down to the extensive preparation before painting and the care and attention throughout. I am now back on their waiting list for another job next year and cannot recommend highly enough.

Work that was done many years ago still looks good today and recent work included great attention to detail to resolve a problem of mould to find a solution for the long term. Gets work done efficiently with minimum disruption. Highly recommended.
