“Geras was a delight to do business with. He was polite and friendly, and always punctual - not just when turning up to the job, but also in sending the quotes as promised on time. We were very impressed with his service and attention to detail; he made an effort to explain the work and potential problems as the job progressed, and took the time to correct mistakes left by previous contractors. Really above and beyond - we will happily use his services again. Thank you!”

Highlights
“I asked Gerald for a quote for my elderly dad’s small kitchen. From the get go he was really good & very professional, he came back quickly each time I messaged him and provided a quote we were happy with - I only spoke over text but my dad thought he was very pleasant, very chatty and a nice man as he said The kitchen is small but he rubbed down all the cupboards, painted them light grey and also painted all the wood work He explained to my dad in detail what he was doing and also kept me in the loop He sent me photos of the finished product as I do not live near my dad and I was also very happy I would definitely recommend him for his professionalism, quality of work and friendliness. Just for information: He carried out the work by himself”
“Gerald not only did an excellent job he was also able to offer information and advice which we found very helpful. He takes a lot of pride in his work and does not cut corners to ensure a thorough and longer lasting job.”

Thank you very much for the review!!!!
Gerald is so obliging, discussed the pros and cons of the work required and how he would do it. He kept me well informed as work progressed. He is so knowledgeable about the materials he uses and found me the perfect colour emulsion. He works to a high standard and didn't rush the work spending as much time on the preparation as on the painting. All my carpets and furniture were well protected. Nothing was too much trouble I couldn't have asked for a more considerate reliable person I really couldn't fault him and his colleague Gerry.My old bungalow looks like new and I am delighted with the result. Many thanks for doing such a good job. Maxine Depner

Gerald and his colleague have just painted and papered my through lounge after repairing cracked walls and damaged paintwork. They have done an excellent job and l would thoroughly recommend them, they are very conscientious and proud of their work with attention to detail. They are very punctual, clean up well and are lovely people. Georgina 15th May 2025.

Thank you very much Mrs Murphy!!!!
Not the first time I’ve used him. Great person very professional, doesn’t mess around when getting the work done. He is very clean and doesn’t leave a mark anywhere on completion. Think of what you look for in a tradesman. That’s him.

I would recommend them whole heartedly. Their attention detail and need to do the job properly was amazing. I had a lot of damp patches that didn't make their job easy however they took every step to make sure they were treated correctly before decorating over.

Thanks for the review happy to work again with you
Geras did a beautiful job of our feature wall wallpaper. I am over the moon with the results and he was also a really nice and friendly guy. I have asked for quotes for more work as we need some painting done and he had good ideas and reassured me on the quality of materials he will be using which is important to me. Very happy😁

Thank you very much !!!
Geras and Markglent of Colour My World were recommended by my daughter in law. Their work was excellent and my wife and I were both very pleased with the work. They were polite and very hard working. They finished the job on time. They cleaned up after them.

Geras did a great job painting our flat, really happy with the finish and would highly recommend. He was really flexible and reliable with other works which overran and had some great suggestions for the paint colours. Thank you
