Our first external job starts tomorrow so we are praying that the weather will settle down and allow us to get the job finished as planned!

we are currently refurbishing a flat in Oxford for a Landlord client via the Letting Agents-we have also now been asked to arrange the professional cleaning and re-carpetting of the property - all in hand, job will be done in time for the new tenants to move in next Thursday…a truly all inclusive service

This time next year, we’ll be millionaires!

Next Monday we start work on transforming the decorating part of a flat in Victoria SW1 from a tired Victorian dwelling worth around £650k leasehold to a refurbished apartment said to be worth £950k/£1m once finished-hope the agent doesn’t find any paint runs!!

Adjectives…

In the past 2 weeks clients have described our services as both “amazing” (client in Shiplake, Oxon) and “awesome” (client in Henley, Oxon). We are not in the habit of gratuitous showing off but it does demonstrate the fact that our clients appreciate our quality of work, honesty, application and puntuality…..

A Winters’ Tale….

Brrrrrrr….. not quite the Big Freeze of 1963 but still inconvenient if you are having to travel to clients premises. Bear with us painters and decorators in these conditions,any professional will not want to disappoint and tarnish their reputation-most will ring to say that they will be late or not arriving instead of keeping you guessing! Trouble is, we might be difficult to spot when we DO arrive in our decorating whites!!!

a polished performance…

Italian polished plaster finishes really look stunning as a feature wall (particularly when lit naturally). This is an example of a Lucidato plaster finished in gun metal. So much more interesting that wall-paper and stunning to look at when waxed so as to give a glass-like finish. We can match any colour……. If you want something different on your walls please give us a ring…..

That’s all folks……

Well, another busy year has flown by (literally). Our first job this year was a bedroom in Henley (start date 3rd January) and we have not stopped since!!

We finished our last job yesterday and re-start on Weds 3rd Jan. The first month of 2013 is already booked solid (as is April) and most of February. Looking at an interesting project in Victoria SW1 on Sunday which could fill the remainder of February!

PLEASE, anyone into the retro/vintage scene-contact us for a quotation as our goal next year is to “roll out” our bespoke room service-anything from the 1920′s to the 1980′s – decor, furnishings, accessories, flooring etc

Peter is a quiet, hardworking and extremely diligent worker! His quality of finish is excellent! He worked long hours, without a break for two days and completed a faultless job. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending his services.

I would highly recommend Peter. Personally he was friendly, polite, arrived on time, made excellent suggestions as to paint colour (which I am very happy with) and kept me informed all the way both by Email and in person. His work was perfect, he was meticulously tidy and so quiet. I forgot he was in the house! He has also helped me find other excellent contractors. All in all he was the perfect decorator. I will have no hesitation about using him again and recommending him.

Peter completed the job well inside the estimate and it was to my complete satisfaction. Throughout the two days he was very tidy in the way he went about his work and very importantly was trustworthy and reliable in that I had to leave the premises and leave him with the keys.
