What Steve does

Plastering, coving, painting and decorating all come from Steve, so one call covers the whole room.

  • Painting and decorating

    Walls and ceilings in living rooms, bedrooms and nurseries, painted with neat, crisp edges where one colour meets the next.

  • Outside painting

    The outside of houses and bungalows painted too, as well as the rooms inside.

  • Coving

    New coving fitted where the walls meet the ceiling, then painted along with the rest of the room.

  • Plastering

    Plastering, so the walls are ready for decorating before any paint goes on.

Outside work, too

As well as the rooms inside, Steve paints houses and bungalows on the outside, working through the day until the job is complete.

“Steve did a fantastic job painting the outside of my Bungalow on the hottest week of the year he is very friendly and polite doesn’t stop working all day until the job is complete”

Dust sheets down, tidy when he leaves

Floors and stairs are covered before the work starts. When the job is done, the furniture goes back where it was and the room is left clean, ready to live in.

“Steve has just finished decorating my living room, including fitting coving…he’s done a great job, coving fitted to a high standard and painting of ceiling and walls is faultless, immaculate cutting in!..What a difference it’s made 😊 He turned up on time and is tidy & respectful..also moved furniture back and had a tidy round when he had finished… Can recommend and would definitely use his skills again!…”

“I am feeling lucky to have found Steve. He managed to fit decorating my living room into his schedule at quite short notice. His work is of a very high standard, he is a real professional and very experienced. A lovely result with no mess at all and work done at a fair price. Steve was a pleasure to have around the house and I have already booked him for three more rooms. Highly recommended, thanks Steve!”
