Really pleased

Gary came to decorate two bedrooms in my home and I could not be happier with the results. He gave excellent advice on paint colours, and painted one large bedroom to an incredibly high standard. He wallpapered the second bedroom and was meticulous in ensuring that the pattern matched. He prepared the rooms thoroughly before starting, and even helped to correct some slightly shoddy workmanship left behind by my builder! He is a brilliant decorator, and a pleasure to have around.

Gary was incredibly patient

Gary was incredibly patient, professional and attentive.

He entertained my very indecisive and anxious brain when it came to the colours and finishes (poor Gary!)

He also made me aware of everything when it came to damp etc and made sure everything was perfect when he was finished.

Very happy with the results. Thank you Gary! :)

Excellent

Gary did an excellent job re-decorating my bedroom.
It was such a relief to have a professional trades person who was punctual, had really high standards of workmanship and came across as honest and helpful throughout his time working for me. I can't recommend him highly enough and would definitely use him again in the future.

Quick, neat and professional

Gary was highly recommended to us by our neighbours. We have been equally impressed with the work that he did for us repainting our hall way and downstairs bathroom.

We’d definitely recommend him and will no doubt use him again! Very quick, beat and professional

Very good quality work

Gary painted a bedroom for us and did a wide range of 'touch up' jobs such as refreshing our banisters, repairing and painting cracks by the side of our stairs and chipped radiators. He did it quickly but to a very good standard - we were very pleased how it turned out.

Gary was a dream

Gary was a dream! He was able to squeeze me in right away and even finished the job early. Communication was easy and he’s very kind. The paint job was perfection, he’s clearly very experienced. He did my kitchen cabinets and walls all black without any judgment ;) It came out looking very chic and clean. Thanks so much Gary! Will definitely be recommending you and calling you for the next one.

Exceptional Service

Gary recently renovated my kitchen cupboard & drawer fronts. The end result was excellent , like they had come straight from the factory. The overall service from Gary was exceptional and I would highly recommend him for any type of painting/renovation works in the future.

Would definitely recommend!

Gary recently redecorated my one bedroom flat in North London, including all of the walls/ceilings/woodwork. I couldn’t be happier with the result - it looks fantastic. Gary also took care to protect the floors etc and leave the flat clean and tidy which was much appreciated. He was reliable, trustworthy and communicated throughout. I will definitely be considering him for any work I need in the future, and would recommend Gary to others. Thank you!

Fantastic hand painted kitchen, would highly recommend Gary

I would highly recommend Gary, I had been considering purchasing a new kitchen and Gary suggested painting and refreshing the cupboards and it gave the room a renewed feel and saved me thousands of pounds! Gary is meticulous in his attention to detail and wonderful to work with. I’ve had so many compliments about my ‘new’ kitchen.

Excellent quality, reliable friendly service


Gary painted the whole exterior of our building and parts of the indoor shared space as well. His work was excellent quality, faultless. He was reliable and very friendly and all of the flat owners were happy we chose him for this job. Highly recommended!
