Highlights
“We asked Neil to quote for a complete flat paint renovation, he was very polite when he came over to quote and provided a cost to us quickly. He walked through the job with us and pointed out areas that may need additional work. We booked him and the team in at a suitable date. The team arrived and were friendly, positive, and courteous throughout their time, and were very flexible when we made last minute changes. We’re very pleased with the overall quality, speed and time of the job. We would recommend to others.”
“Peter was kind, courteous and very helpful with all his advice. Would highly recommend.”
