He stripped the existing wall paper and prepared the walls and ceiling for painting. He also painted our existing woodwork. We were particularly pleased with the panelling and moulding work that he did for us over all three floors, including up two staircases. The finish for the whole job was excellent and we are delighted with his work. Peter was reliable, clean and tidy and very helpful with tips and suggestions and he can turn his hand to most things. His rates are also entirely reasonable and he does not take short cuts with his work. We are having him back to do more work for us soon. We would definitely recommend this tradesman." > Source: Customer in Essex (5.0, via Which? Trusted Traders) > "Truman’s painted three rooms in our home including our large open lounge/diner. We were really impressed with the work. Peter took time to properly prep all the surfaces - walls and skirtings - so that the finish was to a very high standard. He moved and covered furniture in each room as he worked so it stayed clean, and left everything tidy. We asked him to use a new eco paint and it was clear he was experienced, as he quickly adjusted to the varying coverage of the paint as he went. He stayed on the agreed budget and was accommodating with the start time we asked for (around the school run!). After decorating he also cut a couple of fiddly pieces of flooring to match and fill gaps in our solid wood floor! Would use them again. Happily recommend Peter’s work." > Source: Customer in Greater London (5.0, via Which? Trusted Traders) > "Peter painted the outside of our house, fitted a new gate and remortared our patio. We were very happy with the results and would definitely use his services again. He's good at solving problems as they come up and his prices are more than reasonable. Also he's a pleasant bloke, easy to have around the house. Definitely recommended." > Source: Customer in Essex (5.0, via Which?
