"Darren is first class. He is a real gentleman who is hard working and reliable. He has painted the stairs, landing and two bedrooms now on separate occasions to an excellent standard. The ceilings are particularly high but he completed all rooms without any scaffolding. I highly recommend him."

"Darren is an excellent decorator. He has an eye for a good colour scheme. Very thorough in preparation execution and finishing. Start was delayed, but work was completed in less than the agreed length of work. In the lead up to the job, communications about the delay could have been a bit better, but that did not detract from the job overall."
