“We used Erik and his team to paint our youngest's bedroom last year, after finding them on here. They were the most competitive quotation and offered the best service and we were not disappointed - so much so that we asked them to come back to decorate our hall stairs, bannisters, landing and lounge. They were amazing again! They are so warm, professional and are experts in what they do. They are very clean and tidy; they clean up thoroughly at the end of each day. They are knowledgeable and can offer great advice about the best approaches to home improvement. Recommended without reservation!”

Highlights
“Erik, Angie came recommended to us by friends. They quickly provided a competitive quote, and were great to deal with from the start. When the work got underway they were punctual and provided lots of welcome suggestions, including some carpentry from Dino. We are really happy with the quality of the work - the prep they put in before even picking up a paintbrush is outstanding. Dino’s shelves and fitted door are also great! Would definitely recommend and use again.”
“Erik and team (painting and carpentry) did great quality work quickly and at a reasonable price. Very friendly and left everywhere very tidy afterwards. Could not recommend highly enough.”

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.
Check the TrustMark registerNever pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
