“We have an old 5 bed Georgian property. We needed internal decorating in reception, hallway staircases etc. In the reception after they removed the lining paper we realised the old rendering was in a very bad condition. So we decided to re-plaster all the walls and the ceiling as well. We didn’t have to find a plasterer, as Istvan could carry out all the skimming and he done a brilliant job with it. Can’t recommend him enough, he is a very professional tradesman, also very tidy always left the site clean as possible. Oh and turned up every morning in time and left six of after six.”

Highlights
“Istvan was great. My property was certainly a challenge thanks to the previous owners unskilled DIY jobs, and due to this it meant that a lot of different skills were needed from paint stripping to restore some wood, skimming walls and repairing holes around my windows, and painting and decorating. Istvan takes great pride in his work and works efficiently and with care. Would recommend.”
“Trustworthy, prompt every day, very clean and tidy worker, definitely recommend & will use again. We left him in our house while on holiday and wouldn’t hesitate to do that again. Great painter who did stair bannisters, ceilings, all woodwork. Istavan also removed internal glass doors and frames, insulated, boarded, then painted both rooms as well, all to a very high standard.”
