“I really don’t have the proper words to truly express my sincerest gratitude to Sean and Andrew for the exceptional work they did transforming a grotty, dated living room into something so beautiful. The job was done and delivered at a lightning-fast speed, flawlessly executed, and with such good humour by two of the nicest blokes I’ve met in a long time. I honestly cannot sing their praises, nor recommend them, highly enough for the standard of work they delivered.”

Sean painted our front room’s walls, ceiling, and woodwork with skill and attention to detail. His work left everything looking fresh and beautifully finished. Sean was punctual, professional, and efficient. He kept the space tidy throughout the process.

Verified by CheckatradeBathroom repainting
I recently hired a decorator to paint my bathroom, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results! He arrived right on time, which I truly appreciated. His professionalism was evident from the start. The quality of his work is absolutely outstanding—he paid meticulous attention to detail and left the space looking immaculate. Not only did he complete the job efficiently, but he also ensured that everything was cleaned up afterward, leaving no mess behind. I highly recommend him for any painting projects; his skills and dedication truly make a difference!
Verified by CheckatradePainting of rooms
Sean, painted my kitchen and spare room, last week, is standard of work is excellent. I can’t fault him he is very professional, well priced , was on time and finished in the time he said it would take, would definitely recommend him.
Verified by Checkatrade
Sean delivers competitively priced and exceptional quality work. He takes time to understand the complexities and details of job requirements. This meant minimal disruption despite him undertaking extensive work in confined conditions whilst we remained at our property. In addition he was efficient and managed his time well, completing work 2 days earlier than planned. Beyond this the work was quality far beyond expectations. Would 100% recommend
Verified by Checkatradecomplete external house and Garage paint and repair job
Excellent job done from Sean. He kept us informed on start and finish times, very friendly and communicative, repaired and replaced rotten fascia and sections of window as he went along and arranged carpenter for a specialist job. Repaired some bad rendered areas, and painted professionally all the external woodwork and masonry. The house now looks beautiful and should not need any repairs on the woodwork for a good few years to come. Made great friends with our German Shepherd dog too ! Would definitely recommend...
Verified by Checkatrade
Residential Decorating Services were professional throughout from keeping us informed of the start date through to completion of the job. They were punctual, clean, tidy and friendly. The job took a little longer than expected but that was not a problem as they came back the following week to complete. The thoroughness of the preparation and quality of the painting was excellent and our windows now look significantly better and will last many more years. Job well done!
Verified by Checkatrade
Sean was brilliant... not only is he professional and extremely courteous, the quality of his workmanship was great. I quite liked how he explained how he intended to do the job, including which materials to be used, the order of events, when he expected to be finished and what happen's if it is a rainy day. I would highly recommend Sean as it is great value for money!
