Checkatrade“David is an excellent and highly skilled painter and decorator. He painted our hall stairs & landing including all internal doors and radiator. He also did some wallpapering, which included applying a product to help with keeping damp away. David spent a lot of time prepping to ensure the doors were smooth for painting. The walls too prepped for wallpapering. All his work was of a very high quality finish. David is friendly & polite. He was prompt in attendance and very clean and tidy throughout his time with us. He was the perfect person to work in the house where my elderley parent was each day. I would definately recommend David for painting/decorating and would use his services again in the future for other areas of the house”
