Highlights
“I know the importance of a review especially someone coming into your home and the quality of the work completed. I'm so impressed with the work Craig did, he decorated a largish bedroom stripping, repapering also painting. He prepped so well and even treated some mould and filled some holes. Craig is the nicest, most professional tradesperson, he turned up on time, did the work in the time he said and has done an amazing job I'm over the moon with the work he did! He left the place tidy and quoted such an affordable price!! I have already hired him for another room, I would highly recommend.”
“I was so impressed when Craig came the first time that I just had to get him back to decorate my lounge and kitchen. Again I was not only suitably impressed with the results and his level of professionalism but also how friendly he is.”
Detailed reviews
These are the individual reviews we hold for Gloss Decorating Services, including the highlights above. The 46 headline total is the review volume reported across public review sources.
Internal Painting & Decorating
We had several businesses quote to fully decorate two high staircases and a bedroom. Craig was the clear favourite with his experience, suggestions, friendly personality and of course a fair quote. Craig repaired all of the damaged walls (we have an older property) and decorated the areas to a very professional standard. Gloss Decorating Services will be our first port of call for any decorating work in the future and we have already been very happy to recommend Craig on.
Craig was clean and efficient, doing a great job with walls doors and skirting boards. He also did some papering that came out really well.
