Unreliable.
Turned up, talked about how long it might take (ranging from 1 day to 3 days), promised a prompt quote for labour only in a few days. A week later told me he had decided to go on holiday & promised a quote in a week when he returned. Nothing ever arrived it’s now been 6 weeks.

This is the second time we have used Martin. The standard of his work is impeccable. He works quickly, cleanly, and to a very high standard. We would not hesitate to recommend him.

Martin was prompt, professional and did a great job. Will definitely be using him when we’re ready to paint the rest of the house!

I recently hired Martin for a substantial painting and decorating project in my 5-bedroom house, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, Martin demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism and meticulous attention to detail.
His work was nothing short of outstanding. He expertly painted all the rooms, fitted skirting boards, and even tackled the more intricate tasks like boxing cables and hanging wallpaper. Each task was completed with precision, and it was clear that Martin takes immense pride in his work.
One of the standout qualities of Martin was his commitment to cleanliness and tidiness. He maintained an organized workspace throughout the project, which made the entire experience much more pleasant. I appreciated how he ensured that everything was left spotless at the end of each day, minimizing disruption in our home.
Overall, Martin's dedication to quality and his thorough approach made him a joy to work with. If you're looking for a painter and decorator who will go above and beyond to deliver exceptional results, I wholeheartedly recommend Martin. He transformed our home beautifully, and I would not hesitate to hire him again for future projects.
