“Rich (& Joe) are brilliant. Professional, polite, knowledgeable and just a nice all-round bloke (I didn’t meet Joe). Paintwork is flawless and the cutting-in lines are super smooth and clean. Tidied up after themselves, no spills or damage just careful and clean work. Highly recommend to all. My friend recommended Rich and his wallpapering skills at her house is exceptional as I struggled to see the seams until I got really close. Rich will be coming back to us again most definitely. Thank you Rich & Joe”

Highlights
“Richard and his team were extremely professional, clean and managed our expectations throughout the job. We’d definitely recommend them!”
“These guys are 5 stars all the way. From the very beginning of the job they have been easy to work with. They turned up to quote when they said they would. Gave a fair price and then arranged a suitable date. I have had my new kitchen/dinner painted plus all my internal doors (8) and I could not be happier with the results. They were really respectful in the home and made sure to keep mess to an absolute minimum. They turned up on time and did exactly what they said they were going to do. The results are fantastic. No issues in recommending and I will definitely be using these guys again.”

Richard and Joe are such lovely, professional people. From the initial quote to the work being done we are over the moon with the quality of workmanship. This is hard to find in this day and age. Highly recommend and when we need any work doing in the future we will not hesitate to contact Richard. They painted the exterior of our 1930s house and honestly it’s made such a difference the house looks like new wished I had a before photo but I’ve added a photo of what it looks like now and it doesn’t do it justice. They were very clean and tidy and respectful of our property they covered everything up even our fence and patio area. Richard was sweeping up after as well honestly can’t fault them they work extremely hard. It’s so nice to know there are still people out there that you can trust and they do a smashing job and Richard didn’t want paying until the job was finished. They truly deserve more than 5 stars and I’m so glad I’ve found them. Thank you both for a cracking job oh and we’ve had so many compliments from the neighbours too🙂all the best Annette & Daren
Richard has decorated our lounge, dining room and kitchen so far and we could not be happier with the job. The work has been done to an exceptionally high standard with great attention to detail. Richard is professional and respectful, there was great communication from first contacting him and discussing our needs . We will definitely be calling upon Richard to complete more decorating projects in the house. I have no hesitation in recommending him.
Richard and Joe are always 100% professional in all areas and sometimes go the extra mile if they think it is necessary - at no extra cost! Friendly and very likeable and we highly recommend them.
It was a pleasure and delight having Richard and Joe in our home, they are such friendly, personable lads and their decorating skills are first class. We had every room decorated and Richard went above and beyond with every aspect of the work, even offering to take on extra jobs. He is so deserving of all his excellent reviews. I cannot fault him or Joe, total perfection from beginning to end. Needless to say I will most definitely recommend him to anyone and he's in my contact list for future jobs I need doing
