Did an excellent job on my bedroom He was very friendly definitely recommend him to anyone that wants decorating done ☺️
John painted the majority of the inside of our house. He did a brilliant job, and we are over the moon with it. Not one issue with any of his work. Also, the price was very reasonable. Throughout the time he was at our house, he was very neat and tidy. On top of all this, John is an absolutely top bloke and I wouldn’t think of going to anyone else from now on.
John from Pride of Place has just finished decorating our lounge as part of our home renovation and we’re really happy with the result! The finish is spot on and the room looks completely transformed. John was friendly, reliable and kept everything tidy throughout the job, which made the whole process easy and stress-free. Great workmanship and attention to detail, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. We have used countless tradesmen whilst renovating our home and John is one of only a few that I would have no hesitation in booking again! Thanks again.
