Ive recently had all my ceilings painted by Martin and Lucian from Jason Kirby Painting and Decorators and I cannot praise them enough. They arrived on time, protected all my furniture and painted my ceilings beautifully. Martin and Lucian were friendly and professional. From dealing with Lucy and Jason from the start of the request for a quote to the end product I have been incredibly impressed by their advice, friendly professionalism and customer care.

Our decorator, Martin. did a fantastic job. We would highly recommend this company and will use them again in future. Martin was very thorough and left the area clean and tidy each evening. He was flexible and helpful when we kept changing our minds. The paint job is faultless.

Highly recommend using Jason Kirby. Our company's office needed some painting/decorating done in a very short time period and the guys were able to fit us in and complete all the work in time and for a reasonable price. Plus they also managed to help out and fix enough issue that arose before the deadline! Will be using them in the future.

We used Jason to decorate our hall and refurbished kitchen diner and utility. A team of three turned up and just 4 days later the whole area was transformed. They were truly amazing, we are so happy with the result we cant stop smiling. Our old house looks like a shiny new pin. The boys were friendly, courteous and made sure they did everything we asked. They also left the house so clean and tidy everyday.
Having just moved into our home a little over a year ago there is a lot more to do and we wont hesitate to use Jason again.
