Adam has recently completed 2 large painting jobs on a listed building. One internal and one external. This involved a lot of making good to plaster work, skirtings and complex kitchen units and a lot of final painting. The quality of the work was second to none. There were a couple of minor snags on both projects and Adam's response was excellent and he was back in to resolve the issues within a couple of days.

Amazing team! They completely refurbished the kitchen and bathroom and repainted the whole flat before I moved into my new flat in Ilford. They are extremely professional and their work is immaculate. They even helped me out, at very short notice, with some additional work I needed once I'd moved in. No issues with communication, very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend them.

Jim and Adam did a first class job at my flat in Bethnal Green, great workmanship coupled with smart organisation ensuring the project stayed on track and on budget. New front door, some new electrics, redecoration and new carpets. It's like having a new flat. At the end, everything was left beautifully clean and tidy, no mess anywhere. Jim and Adam are skilled communicators too - very important in keeping things running smoothly.
