“Colin did a good job in decorating (painting ceiling, walls, woodwork) in 3 rooms. He also did a great job repairing a nasty ceiling crack (you can't see it now!) and some other small fixes. He's a pleasant guy, gets on with the job and was keen to do the small extras to leave things looking "properly" finished.”

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Highlights
“I recently moved into a new flat and asked Colin for a quote on decorating. He was incredibly flexible and delivered outstanding results. Colin transformed the space from plain white walls into a warm, colourful, welcoming home. His work was quick, professional, and meticulous, and he was courteous and friendly. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome—10/10 would highly recommend!”
“Colin was an excellent communicator, easily allowing us to set up the initial assessment and then the job itself, showing professionalism by arriving on time, being honest about the job and taking me through it in detail and then performing a first-rate repair of the plasterwork, paintwork and ancillaries. On top of that, he is a lovely chap and has cemented (no pun intended) his position as top of my list for any more work required at my home in the future.”
