> "I would highly recommend Sands Painting and Decorating. Steve and Joanna were very patient and informative in the lead up to the work beginning, as we had some concerns about the damp issues in the room before starting. Steve was always punctual during the 3 days painting. I was working from home in the next room and the work never once disrupted my hours - I'd almost forget it was going on! The walls, ceiling and woodwork redecoration was carried out efficiently and to a high standard, everything finished on time. The space was left beautifully clean and the new room looks fantastic."
