Highlights
“D&R Decorators were punctual, professional, quick in their work, courteous, tidy and respectful. It was a pleasure to have Dave and Ben in our home for a couple of days. We wouldn’t hesitate to engage them again. I wholeheartedly recommend them.”
“David and Ben redecorated 2 bedrooms and a bathroom for us. They wallpapered one wall and then did a feature wall in the second bedroom. They were very hard working, fast, just got on with it. They were very good with my dog and accomodating in ensuring doors were shut so she doesn't escape and not noisy at all, as I work from home. Rooms look lovely and they were both lovely to have around. Will be using them again for the remaining house.”
