“William, Chris and Jacek were with us for 4 weeks redecorating the house, namely painting and wallpapering. They did an excellent job, taking their time and getting everything just right. They were as keen as we were to respect the age of the house and use appropriate materials etc. They were very pleasant to communicate with and the quote was transparent, thorough and reasonable. They fixed the few snags without any fuss. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough, and Jacek’s wallpapering is a work of art! Hope to use Alan Lancaster again, thank you!”

Highlights
“I hired William for a full house renovation, and the experience was outstanding from beginning to end. He is a true professional, punctual and meticulous in his work. Every aspect of the renovation was completed to a high standard, and he clearly takes pride in delivering quality results. What really stood out was William’s excellent communication. He kept us updated throughout the project, explained things clearly, and was always open to feedback or questions. That level of transparency and responsiveness is rare in this industry, and it made the whole process smooth. Thanks Will”
“Very good value for money compared to other people who quoted and did an excellent job. The main decorator was very polite and quiet and just got on with the job. Would recommend”
