“You will be very lucky if you employ Matt to do some decorating as he is excellent in his approach and commitment. He is thorough , knowledgeable and skilled and I am very pleased with my hall, stairs and landing decoration. He is something of a perfectionist and his experience is invaluable in suggesting best outcomes. He is friendly, reliable and trustworthy - I was happy to give him a key so he could continue with the work when I was out.”
