We had a really good experience with Penton & Sons, right through from pricing through to completion of the work. Jamie was a pleasure to deal with when discussing the work that we wanted to get done, and his painters Ray and John were a pleasure to have in our house. Would definitely have them back!

This is the third time I have used this company for decoration work both inside and out. A very high standard of work and clean up at all times and I will be using them again later on next year for the final part of my house redecoration. Price is also competitive with other companies.

Great company to work with from start to finish. The work and finish of their work is of top quality.

I can’t recommend Penton&sons enough, from the initial quote from Jamie to the finish of the decorating everything was outstanding, Jamie & he’s team transformed our 4 bedroom house in just under 2 weeks, they left our house immaculate every night and are extremely trust worthy, we’ve booked them in for next year for the outside of our house and recommend to friends and family , thankyou again Jamie
