“We hired Oliver to decorate our hall, stairs and landing area, plus our lounge, having recently moved into a new property in East Grinsted. The property is only 10 years old, with high ceilings, but in need of a refresh. Oliver was great from start to finish, providing professional guidance on the types of paints he would recommend for various areas (including specialist heat resistant paint for around the log burner in our lounge). The quality of finish was very high, and a methodical approach to his work and in the surface preparation, he left us thoroughly pleased with the outcome.”
