Client Reviews

“Would highly recommend Grant. We could not be there while he was decorating but felt at ease leaving him a key so he could come and go. He went out of his way to offer assistance as we did not have a vehicle and was very understanding. He worked a day extra to finish the job all within his quote and has completely transformed the old apartment!”

“Grant is the utmost professional. He undertook a big job for me in painting the majority of walls in a 180m2 tenement flat (high ceilings etc). Not only that but he had to cover the existing dark colours with my preferred light neutrals. At the outset, Grant provided expert advice and guidance on paint brands, colour matching etc. He completed the job to a very high standard all while causing minimal disruption. And for a fair and reasonable price. I couldn’t recommend Grant more highly. He’s a really friendly guy too! Thanks, Grant.”

Really helpful when it came to choosing colours, exceptionally punctual and even managed to help out with replastering a section of the kitchen wall when we took tiles off and realised the wall was missing plaster. Would highly recommend them to anyone, couldn’t fault them at all.”

“Absolutely fantastic work! Professional, on-time, clean, organised and efficient. Shaun, the son who did most of the work, was truly impressive in terms of his attention to preparation, detail, skill and sheer hard work! The techniques he used has left us with a living room that is immaculate and honestly the best job I’ve ever seen.

“Graham helped us out at very short notice with painting tenement skirtings throughout our new flat after another painter had to leave the job. He called me back on a Sat after a panicked message, managed to juggle other jobs and got everything finished before we moved in. Great communication, very easygoing, really pleased with the quality of work and a reasonable price. Will definitely use Graham for any future work and would recommend it to others without hesitation. Great service.”
