“This is the second time we've called on Paul's painting and decorating services after he painted the nursery for our firstborn 5 years ago. Now he's worked his magic on our 5 month old's new room! Paul is friendly, professional, hard working and completely trustworthy. He's done a fantastic job removing grotty old coving and making the room look immaculate and ready for when our new little guy is ready for his own room. He was also really kind with our inquisitive 5 year old! We couldn't recommend him more.”

Highlights
“Paul was fantastic from start to finish - very trustworthy, reliable, and clearly takes pride in his work. His attention to detail was excellent, and he worked with us to get all three bedrooms completed exactly as we wanted. We’re really pleased with the finish and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for quality painting.”
“Paul recently decorated my parents bedroom, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. From start to finish, his professionalism and attention to detail were excellent. He took great care in preparing the room, ensuring all surfaces were perfectly smooth before painting, and the finish is absolutely flawless. Paul was punctual, tidy, and respectful throughout the job — he left the room spotless each day and completed the work right on schedule. He also gave really helpful advice on colours and finishes, which made a big difference to the final look.”

Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 6 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.
