“We can highly recommend Decorate South West for their friendly and professional service. We invited DSW to quote us for stripping the wallpaper, painting the walls, ceiling and woodwork in the hall and living room of our bungalow. Beneath the wallpaper was a history of poor decorating and some dodgy plastering but they were unfazed and did a fabulous job! Although the quote wasn’t the cheapest the service and extra care were well worth it… and they left the place tidy and clean too! Loving our new modern look - Thank you x”

Highlights
“Decorate South West decorated the nursery to a high standard. Not only was Graham efficient with his turn around of quotes and schedule, he was also competitively priced with a high standard of care and attention to make the Pre-School room & 2 year room a welcoming, light and airy space and freshened up the children's toilets. He had not only given up his weekends to work around the business schedule, so had his team which we are extremely grateful too. We have had some wonderful comments about the nurseries, newly decorated spaces which is lovely to hear and have scheduled in further work.”
“Excellent advice, and job completed with high quality materials. Not cheap, but we are expecting it to last for many years. Courteous and helpful workmen who left everything tidy. Only gave reliability an 8 because one of them was pulled off the job to finish another job, so it took longer than anticipated. Over the winter we found that heavy rain/hail led to very small amounts of paint coming off our front elevation which is exposed. Grahame immediately offered to repaint that elevation at his expense. Would certainly recommend.”
