This was the first time I’ve used Matt, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. He was able to fit me in at short notice for what seemed like a small job, but it was actually quite fiddly after I’d had a new patio door fitted.
Matt carefully filled the gaps around the edges of the new door and blended the paintwork perfectly with the rest of the room. The finish is seamless and looks fantastic.
Thanks again, Matt, for your great workmanship and for helping me out at short notice!

We recently hired Matt to paint a few rooms in our house, and we are completely satisfied with the results.
From the beginning, he was a pleasure to work with-he took the time to listen carefully to all our requests and delivered a fantastic, high-quality finish at a very fair price. What truly impressed us was his flexibility and customer service. When we realized there were a few minor things we forgot to mention in the original contract, he handled them without any hesitation and didn't charge us extra.

I've used Matt for painting and decorating work more than once and have always been extremely happy with the results. His communication is excellent, he's reliable, punctual and very easy to work with throughout the process.

The quality of his work is outstanding. He takes great care with preparation, protects furniture and flooring properly, works neatly and leaves everything clean and tidy at the end of each day. The finish is always professional and he pays attention to the details that make a real difference.

On this project he repaired cracks and imperfections, removed wallpaper, prepared surfaces thoroughly and delivered a fantastic finish throughout. He was also happy to answer questions and offer practical advice on colours and finishes.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Matt to anyone looking for a skilled, trustworthy and professional decorator, and I will certainly be using him again in the future.
