 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jamie responded immediately to a last-minute request to emulsion a newly re-plastered kitchen. He accomplished the work over a weekend whilst I was away and sent a photo of his workmanship. I couldn't be happier with the result, the cost, and Jamie's amiable personality. He will be my first choice to paint the rest of the house during its restoration.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have hired Jamie on several occasions. He is always punctual, polite and very knowledgeable about paint and the proceeses to get the finish or look you want.  I would have no hesitation in hiring him again as the service he provides is very professional and when he left the area was spotless which is always a bonus.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jamie is great, from the moment he came out to give us a quote and look at the job he has stayed in touch every step of the way. The price was perfect and very reasonable so we sorted a date out for him to come in and do the work, unfortunately we had a bit of a delay but Jamie didn’t mind and rearranged for the following week! He didn’t quibble, just took it all in his stride. The day came for him to do the papering, he was here on time, cracked on and was done in a day! It wasn’t a small job either! The papering is perfect, joints are hidden and the cuts are perfectly straight! We really couldn’t have asked for more, this is one tradesman I will be keeping the number of and using time and time again! 5 STAR SERVICE

Excellent Decorating

“We would heartedly recommend Jamie for any decorating work. He responded promptly to our initial enquiry and arrived exactly when he said he would. He spent 6 days at our house and his work, time keeping and expert advice were impeccable. He is also such a lovely friendly person and clearly cares about his work and customers. He had been recommended by friends and I can see why. No wonder he is busy! So go ahead and have complete confidence in booking his services. Well done and thank you Jamie.”

Impressive!

“Brilliant job done! Reliable, professional and great attention to detail. THE best decorator we have used. Jamie did a great job on our lounge/ dining room and we will be using him again in the near future. Such a lovely guy and so helpful with great advice on choosing products. Clean and tidy worker who won’t let you down. As our property is our holiday home, we were a little apprehensive at just picking someone to do the work without our supervision. We found Jamie by recommendations on his website and we were not disappointed- so very impressed by your work Jamie!”
