Paul and his son did a fantastic job putting the final touches on the house after a loft conversion. They primed and painted all the fresh plaster, painted the new staircase and touched up and made good all the carpentry around the newly hung doors which had previously looked really rubbish. They did a great job, really paid attention to detail and were very straightforward and easy to communicate with, including when issues arise and we needed to change plans (doors turning up the wrong colour!). Very tidy as well. Very much recommended.
