“Sam did an excellent job in painting our hallway. He was very neat and had an eye for detail. I was very impressed that he went beyond the job spec, for example by buying a new fire alarm when he noticed that one was out of date, and cleaning the inside of the front door. He was also proactive when he spotted a leak in the loft, and after checking with me that it was OK, called someone who fixed the leak straightaway and so kept damage to a minimum. Highly recommended.”

Highlights
“We are delighted with SMB Decor. Sam and Lewis painted our house from top to toe over a period of 4 weeks. The finish is fantastic, and their thorough preparation evident, and equally as important they were nice guys to have around. They were considerate to our WFH schedules; good communicators (quotation, schedule; updates on progress etc.); and diligent about minimising dust and clearing up after themselves regularly and thoroughly. I can’t recommend them highly enough, by far the best decorator experience I’ve ever had.”
“The two brothers Sam and Lewis were very professional and hard working. On time every day, the work carried out was of an high standard. As a tradesman and being a perfectionist, my wife and I are very pleased with the end product. The Hallway and Staircase looks lovely Preparation, painting, cutting in, they have both transferred our hallway.....Thanks lads.”

Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 8 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.
