Highlights

"Ian and Scott have done a bunch of painting and decorating for us in the past. This time I had removed the fitted cupboards in my bedroom in a fit of DIY enthusiasm, leaving dodgy exposed electrics, gaps in the carpet, holes in the walls, gaps in the skirting boards, and some very very orange paint! They quoted a very reasonable price to fix all of the above for me, are friendly and work hard, they've done a lovely job! Now I have a beautiful blue bedroom, with lovely soft carpet, it is so much better!"

Amy PCheckatrade5.0 rating

"I am very happy with the work that Ian carried out. His advice and the quality of his work was excellent. He was efficient, prompt with his response, provided good advice and delivered on time. I would highly recommend Ian and look forward to working with him again in the future."

"Ian did a fantastic job painting and papering a number of rooms in my house. The overall quality was excellent and he always left the house really tidy at end of each day. I found him really trustworthy so was comfortable giving him a key and leaving him in the house on multiple days. He was also super flexible - I added on a few bits and pieces after original work had been agreed and he just got on with it and made it work. Would definitely use him again and recommend him to anyone."
