A superb painter and decorator who's work has stood the test of time
Phil did an absolutely fantastic job of my flat decoration. We did the whole thing, his work was superb and super long lasting, it has been over 10 years and the place still looks great. We chose some super hard wearing hard wood solid dark wood flooring and this floor has stood the test of time. My Bathroom also still looks great and all his work has stood the test of time and many tenancies.
He is a great guy to work with and operates a good family run business who have been in this area for many many years. I would without a doubt recommend Phil for all types of decoration work.

Sash window period propert
Phil recently installed a new sash window in our property which was in a bad state of disrepair. He took great care to install and fix the existing problems and the end result looks fantastic.
Would highly recommend, he was incredibly thorough and professional. Thanks Phil

Highly recommended Painter and Decorator
I originally asked for a quote from Phil after seeing the quality window frame refurbishment and painting on a neighbours house.
Since then, Phil is my go to exterior decorator having completed work at my house on two occasions. The work had included wood soffit and facia repairs, undercoating and top coating, along with masonry painting.
Phil is reliable, tidy, and attentive, producing quality work which I have always been very pleased with. I would not hesitate in recommending Phil.

Decorating and new Skirting Boards
We had Phil in to decorate our hallway, stairs, landing and kitchen. He also fitted new skirting boards throughout downstairs. He did a great job and we were very pleased with everything he did. He was very good at keeping everything clean and tidy and he was very easy to have around the house. We will definitely use him again and highly recommend!

Excellent service from a skilled professional craftsman
We have had Phil carrying out work for us for several years now. He has done both interior and exterior decoration as well as numerous repairs. His work is always good, and he is very thorough. Our property is a period property, so some of the work is specialist using lime, lime wash and casein distemper. We would thoroughly recommend him to others
