Craig got in touch quickly, gave me a rough estimate over the phone and answered all my questions. Surveyor arrived on time, gave instant quote. Price was good. Michael and (another) Craig turned up to do the job on the day, time given. Good, tidy job. Can't fault anything, from start to finish!! Would recommend!

George and his team are experienced builders, replaced my front door with a custom frame/sidelights and raising the floor level in the hallway quite quickly - in fact, they were the only who came next day, gave a quote straightaway and were ready to start in just couple of days. They also had all the necessary tools and materials, were ready to buy something additional quickly on the day - if further adjustments were required to fit everything as I asked. Thanks a lot for your help, guys!

Dmitry

Highly recommend. These guys did a fantastic job of constructing our pergola and decking. Very hardworking and reliable. The job was completed in the time frame agreed and to a very high standard. We would 100% use them again.

Are your interiors starting to look weary and less than perfect? Instead of an expensive redecoration project, painting is the most cost-efficient way to add a new lease of life to your property. A MESSAGE FROM OUR PAINTER I’m Kimon, originally from Greece where I mastered the art of painting and decorating. With over 25 years of experience as a professional painter/decorator, I am very passionate about achieving perfect results that create a smooth finish and wonderful interiors. I recently moved to England to be closer to my sons, and over the last few months, I have painted for friends and family, always delivering great results. My sons decided to start Flawless Home Painting, a small family company so their father can keep doing what he loves best. I hope you can see that I am an honest and hardworking person with professional integrity. I take pride in what I do and in making sure all my customers are delighted by the results I produce. Whether you want me to repaint an entire home or focus on a single room, I can create an effective transformation that will certainly impress. I’m precise and patient, never rushing through yet always completing the job when I say it will get done. I’m a good judge of spaces and can also offer advice on the right finish to suit the walls and complement your décor. I treat customers with a friendly, helpful attitude while getting the job done to the highest standards. My rates are fairly priced and customers that book during the off-peak season could get a 10%-30% discount. I also offer free estimates on every job. If you value perfection and exceptional attention, please get in touch for a chat about your needs. Thanks you and I welcome the opportunity of painting your space.

Ian came round to take a look at a damp patch that had started showing up on one of the utility room walls. He turned up on time, was really friendly, and clearly knew what he was talking about. He gave everything a proper check over and explained what was likely going on in a way that actually made sense. He didn’t try to make a mountain out of a molehill or push for any unnecessary work—just gave honest, practical advice on what to do next. Really appreciated how straightforward and helpful he was.

Have just had Gary to stain a very large exterior retaining wall, which another tradesman had abandoned after doing a very poor job. I can't praise Gary highly enough for the great job he did.. He was communicative and punctual and gave me a great quote for the work, for which he went the extra mile to make sure I was happy with the work. He is a lovely chatty and friendly guy and I would most certainly employ him again and I recommend him to anyone who needs an experienced and quality decorator.
