3 highlights

"The job was to decorate the outside of the house and a bedroom. He used his time very effectively, preparation was thorough and the work was completed to a high standard. Scaffolding was arranged, delivered and removed in a timely fashion. We’ve used Matt a number of times and will definitely use him again. He was a pleasure to have around and caused a minimum of disruption."

"Highly recommend this company as my experience was faultless from start to finish. My 3 bedroom house was in need of redecorating following the end of a rental period. Not only did Matt decorate every room (hall, stairs, landing and living room) to a very high standard but he also advised me what colours would look good which helped me no end as I didn’t have a clue! Matt was punctual, tidy and very polite and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to all my friends and family. Very pleased to have finally found a highly skilled decorator! Thank you Matt."

"Matt provided a competitive quote and was able to start the job quickly. He arrived at the appointed time and worked all day to get the job done. He turned a very dark and dingy bedroom into a light and airy space with my chosen colour. He even vacuumed the room after the job was finished and moved my furniture back! I would highly recommend MCB builders - a very professional job."
