“The quote for painting was competitive. The guys arrived promptly every morning, worked quickly but carefully and repainted walls that they weren’t satisfied with. They cleaned up every afternoon. The work was completed quicker than we had anticipated and the house left clean and tidy and all furniture put back. They exceeded our expectations and we will have them back to do other areas of the house. Thank you.”

Highlights
“Alex and his team were amazing from start to finish. The quote was reasonable considering the amount of work that needed to be completed. The entire team was courteous and helpful, working around my family to get the job done to the highest standard. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Colour It again or to recommend them!”
“I can’t recommend Alex and his team highly enough. Our exterior painting job was unavoidably delayed due to bad weather but Alex was very flexible and kept me updated very well. The standard of work and the level of care taken with my property was second to none. They are a very professional company and I would not hesitate to use them again in the future.”

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 17 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.
