“I engaged Alan to rub down and paint the walls and ceiling in my lounge and kitchen. Alan did a great job of patching some difficult areas on the walls and kitchen ceiling and I am very pleased with the quality of the painting and finish. Engaging a tradesman can be quite daunting as each of you have expectations; ideally you want them to meet up. I needn’t have worried with Alan, he was a pleasure to work with, he’s professional, reliable, gives good honest advice and sets expectations. I would use Alan again, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for your decorating needs.”

About
Hi, My name is Alan and I have been a Professional Decorator for over 25 years. I have worked on various projects, both large and small from private residences to commercial projects including office refurbishments and shop fitting. I am proficient in many home improvement aspects and enjoy seeing jobs finished on time and to a good standard. I have a good network of professionals whom I have worked with for many years for all aspects of the building trade and larger jobs. I should advise that I no longer do wall papering but do have a network of individuals to whom I can sub contract such works or if it is a wallpapering only job, I can make recommendations of other decorators on Checkatrade. All exterior works are usually done between May and October and I am afraid to say I will not consider exterior works outside of these months
