Reviews
From our happy customers.
The team did an absolutely brilliant job transforming our kitchen and living room. They were so careful with our furniture and took time to properly prepare all the surfaces. The colour matching was spot on, and they even helped us pick the perfect shade for our feature wall. Clean, tidy, and professional throughout. Couldn't be happier with the result!
Sarah, Washington
Had my entire house exterior painted including all woodwork and guttering. The lads were punctual every day and worked efficiently despite the typical North East weather! They paid great attention to detail, especially around our windows and doors. The finish is excellent and has really improved the look of our home. Fair price for quality work.
Michael, Washington
Just had our master bedroom and en-suite bathroom painted. The team suggested a lovely modern colour scheme that works perfectly with our furniture. They were respectful of our home, always cleaned up at the end of each day, and finished the job ahead of schedule. The cutting-in around the ceiling and woodwork is immaculate. Would definitely recommend!
