“Rich was great throughout, offering advice and guidance on how to get the best finish for the bedrooms. Clear communication on timescales and the initial job was completed ahead of schedule. Booked in for the 2nd bedroom and will be using Rich's services for the rest as we work our way round redecorating.”
