Highlights
"Can’t praise Gavin enough for painting our 2 bedroom apartment we are so pleased with the totally professional results and we can’t recommend him enough."
"The Happy Painter had been strongly recommended by a friend, so I invited him to estimate for a full re-painting of my large apartment. He attended to survey the work and his quote and timescale were very competitive. He consequently carried out the work to the highest standards, was very considerate of my furniture etc and left me absolutely delighted. The work required a colour change and Gavin fully factored in the number of coats, quantity of emulsion and timescale. His preparation was fastidious and the end result was perfect. Highly recommended."
"Gavin, The Happy Painter did a job for me without knowing him, and I was so happy with his professionalism and commitment, that I invited him back to do another big job. Gavin represents a truly professional tradesperson with high working standards who is most importantly super reliable and trustworthy, but he is a very, very good painter and decorator with a good attention to details. I saw Gavin being so meticulous and careful with his projects. He also offered flexibility and delivered a great work. I am happy to respond to any referencing queries.
