Reviews
From our happy customers.
The painters were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. They helped us choose the perfect shade of grey for our living room and a complementary cream for the hallway. Their attention to detail was impressive - all the edges were crisp and clean. They even helped move our furniture and put everything back exactly as it was. No mess left behind at all. Would definitely recommend!
Sarah, Birtley
Had my kitchen walls and ceiling painted by this team and couldn't be happier. They worked efficiently and were so friendly throughout. They properly prepared all surfaces and the finish is flawless. Even managed to work around my awkward kitchen cabinets without any issues. Great value for money and they finished ahead of schedule.
Mike, Birtley
We had these decorators paint our entire house - four bedrooms, living room, kitchen and bathroom. They were incredibly professional and helped us coordinate colors throughout the house. Their team was always on time, respectful of our home, and the quality of work is outstanding. They even touched up a few spots after everything was done at no extra charge. Truly excellent service!
