About me

As a professional painter and decorator, I offer high-quality services to the domestic, industrial and commercial market.

Absolutely no job is too big or too small and I always take a very honest, fastidious and reliable approach. I always strive to keep my pricing competitive and affordable, tackling every task with a consideration for both the budget and deadline.

My many years in the business enable me to offer expert advice on design and colour schemes, as well as sharing my knowledge of the best products to use and the latest wall covering options. Of course, the final choice remains with the customer, but it is often reassuring to discuss the suitability of particular materials.

Jobs I have undertaken in a commercial environment include an entire office suite and meeting room which needed to be decorated to a strict corporate colour scheme and a very tight deadline. Working alongside and around a team of builders, electricians and an IT team, it was challenging but satisfying. To ensure the work was completed to allow my client to move in on time, some very late nights and early mornings were necessary. However, the customer was very pleased with the work and the job was a resounding success.

In a more domestic environment, I was presented with a very large hall, stairs and landing to decorate. In fact, it was the largest I have undertaken. The customers were a professional couple and again, this was an exciting challenge as I was working at a height of eight metres on a bespoke spiral staircase, so scaffolding had to be hired and erected. The clients were delighted with the end result and I was very proud of what we achieved.
