A wonderful job

Steve has just painted the exterior of my house. He was recommended by family and neighbours, so I was already confident that the job would be excellent. From the initial meeting to the final brush of paint, everything went well and, as good quality materials were used, and all surfaces were prepared patiently and properly, it will be many years before the paintwork will need re-doing. Steve is punctual, tidy, trustworthy and a pleasure to have around. Needless to say he is 100% recommended.

Steve and Co have recently completed our living room and have done a fabulous job. I have used numerous decorators over the years and it is great to have now found one who gives so much attention to detail and proper preparation. This has made all the difference and our living room now looks stunning. I can't fault Steve's work and will certainly be using him again in the future. Great value for money and with a first class result, thank you to Steve and his team. We were properly consulted throughout and Steve was extremely patient whilst we finalised our choices. I found him to be very trustworthy and everything was completed as agreed. I highly recommend his services.

Steve painted the outside of my house and I would happily recommend him to others. He and Vic prepared all the surfaces really well beforehand and the finish looks great.

It has been a pleasure to deal with Steve and to have him and his associate Tina working in the house. He spent time discussing the job and gave helpful advice, for example, regarding paints. He and Tina completed all the agreed works and went out of their way to organise and supervise some unforeseen additional works and adapted their schedule to fit. We would certainly recommend Steve.

We recently used Steve to paint two rooms for us. The work was completed to a very high standard and within the agreed timescale. Steve gave good advice on colours and how to deal with a damp problem. We will definitely be using Steve again and have no hesitation in recommending him

I'm very happy with the work Steve and his colleague Tina have done in my home. Steve came to my home and we discussed the work that I wanted done and I had a problem with mould and dampness in one of the rooms that was to be decorated. Steve explained fully of how he was going to treat this and if I had any questions about any of the work he was going to carry out he fully explained everything to me. He came back with Tina to introduce us and so Tina knew what work had to be done. I found both Steve and Tina friendly, professional, reliable and considerate. We discussed the colours I wanted and they brought the colour charts and we all discussed the colours together and they were so helpful giving me guidance. I'm very happy with the outcome of the colours. Nothing was too much trouble for them and a few tiny jobs were done that was not even discussed. Tina was very tidy whilst working and protected the surroundings of the rooms she was working in. The work they have done I'm very pleased with and believe me I'm very fussy and hard to please. I would highly recommend them to anyone. I often stayed whilst they were painting and was never made to feel uncomfortable or in the way. I also fully trusted them and left them quite often in my home whilst I went out. They also was so considerate of my two cats and we discussed the best way to paint so the cats would have a room they could stay in. I would 100% use Steve again.

Steve has recently decorated two rooms in our house and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Despite being busy he was able to fit us in at quite short notice, and was really helpful in sorting out paint samples and matching colours that we liked. Both rooms have been painted to a very high standard and are exactly as we wanted them. Steve was professional and friendly throughout, and a pleasure to have working in our home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and will definitely be using him again in the future.
