Testimonials

"We all know how difficult it is to find good and reliable tradesmen these days but we certainly struck gold when we came across Colin ! We believe in patronising local shops and craftsmen where possible and that is how we came across his on-line entry. We were lucky that he was able to come and see the work required and he quickly provided an on-line quotation which was very fair and which he stuck to punctiliously.
The work was quite extensive comprising a bedroom and ensuite, a separate bathroom, a kitchen/breakfast room and a very large lounge/dining room the ceiling of which had been recently plastered.
He was able to fit us in, having some free days, and set to work with a will. His preparation was painstaking but he worked in a clean and tidy manner, moving large items of furniture that we could not manage, making good walls and painting walls, ceiling and woodwork.
He worked away with virtually no breaks and was careful, diligent and skillfull .
We are left with rooms to be proud of . The result is terrific and we can certainly say that he is the finest decorator we have ever come across.
It is apparent that Colin has a lifetime of experience and we have already asked him to carry out some further work for us when the weather warms up!
From our own experience we can wholeheartedly recommend him and are thankful that we found him!"

"I wanted to say thank you for the superb job you did decorating our whole house. I was so over the moon with the result. You were a pleasure to work with and I would definitely recommend you. The fact you could do a few 'handyman' jobs as well was a real bonus."

"Colin and Ben painted our outside windows last summer doing a super job. They have now just completed decorating our sitting, dining, office and play rooms. Another perfect job done without any hassle at a very reasonable cost. We have booked them in to return next winter to paint more rooms."

"Colin and Ben did a great job outside of our house, painting the railings, the porch and the garage door (Colin also repaired one of the wooden garage frame posts beforehand). They both are highly professional, very conscientious and tidy. It was a pleasure to have them both. We wholeheartedly recommend these top notch decorators."

disruption. We have booked them to paint the outside of our house next year and would recommend them unreservedly."

"Colin and son Ben re-decorated our hall, landing and stairs over 3 and a half days. Every aspect of the work was outstanding: the quality of the work, the lack of mess, the speed of execution and general helpfulness. They are really nice guys to have around and made helpful suggestions as the job progressed. They also offer exceptional value. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Colin for any decorating work."

"Colin and Ben redecorated all the external woodwork on our house. They were an absolute pleasure to have around the property as they were courteous, polite and thorough. They had to work in slightly difficult circumstances as we were having our bathroom refurbished at the same time but they were understanding and flexible about working around the other trades people. My wife and I highly recommend them and just wish that all organisations provided such excellent customer service."

"Colin and Ben did a great job painting three rooms in our house over three days. They were friendly and polite. The quotes were reasonable. They were happy to change various aspects once we had decided what we wanted, even some aspects on the day. Fixing a date to fit in with other trades involved proved a bit more tricky as they are quite booked up! The quality of the decorating is good."

He turns up early for appointments, listens to what you want, helps with suggestions and does the job well with no supervision. and he communicates without chasing. If only all tradesmen were the same!"
