“Richard arrived at my property and gave a quote for to paint the ceiling, walls , doors , fireplace & wallpaper a feature wall in my living room. He was very reasonable with his pricing and timeline. I found a real *gem * in Richard nothing was too much trouble he even moved my furniture and rehung a large mirror and put my curtains up for me. You would have to go a long way to find someone as neat & tidy as him. Over all his work is fantastic and his attention to detail is OUTSTANDING. I highly recommend Richard and I will be having him back to do some more work for me later in the year.”

Highlights
“We recently had Richard decorate our whole house whilst we were away on holiday…the job he did was absolutely amazing with both the painting and the wallpapering…he did walls…ceilings and woodwork. He is super relaxed and friendly and went above and beyond including moving furniture and hanging things back on the wall for us…it was really lovely to get back from our trip to a newly decorated house with nothing to do except put ornaments on the windowsills…100 percent recommend Richard for any decorating jobs you may need!”
“Richard is an absolute gem! He is very diligent, meticulous, professional, always punctual and kept in touch, is very tidy and does a superb job and just cracks on with the task in hand! Happy to offer advice without prejudice and I have already requested for more work to be done as Richard is a rare find, and a jolly nice chap to boot!”
