Review by Peter Mayes
on 11th December 2025
"Steve painted our landing, stairs, hall and dining room, and papered a feature wall in the dining room. He was very professional & conscientious throughout, so essential to ensuring an excellent finish. His work ethic was a prompt start and continuous focused all day working, so essential when decorating. Friendly and professional we have recommended Steve to our family and will use his skills again in 2026. Thank you Steve, Peter & Deidre."
Trader reply: "What a fantastic review both Peter and Deidre and thank you very much indeed for taking the time to leave one! Was an absolute pleasure to do this work for you and I adore the paper you’ve both chosen - very stylish. And special thanks to Deidre for preparing lunch and for the Christmas present; very kind of you both! Look forward to working for you next year. Kind regards, Steve."

Review by Kevin
on 12th July 2025
"Clearly an expert in his field. Did a superb job, high quality and excellent eye for detail. Great tradesman - thank you. Particularly impressed with how well we prepped the wood, and what a high quality finish was achieved."
Trader reply: "Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review Kevin; much obliged indeed and a fantastic customer to work for! Adore the Tikkurila Miranol, with its gorgeous ‘high-gloss-finish’ which I’d always recommend for external woodwork, uPVC etc - makes a statement; although I’d always opt for a matt finish on woodwork if internal decoration is undertaken. Thank you for the £20.00 tip too, extremely kind. Hope to work for you again soon. Warmest regards, Steve."

Review by Anne
on 19th May 2025
"Steve was recommended to me by my daughter after doing work at her house. I have recently moved into my house which was in desperate need of re decorating. Steve has done a fantastic job. His eye for detail is impeccable and he will not leave anything he is not happy with! I would not hesitate to recommend him."
Trader reply: "What a fantastic review Anne! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave one and can you give my regards to both Mark and Maggie for recommending me - very much obliged indeed. Really enjoyed this project and cannot wait to return to complete the rest of it after your wooden-flooring has been fitted. Was an absolute pleasure and you’re a fantastic customer to work for! Kind regards, Steve."
