Originally the idea was to redecorate the small box room and one other bedroom. However the standard of work was so good that we took the opportunity to include a third bedroom, dining room and hall stairs and landing after a short break. This has now developed into including the outside restoration of our landing window and will also include the kitchen.
Adrian's attention to detail is second to none and will always try to accommodate my wishes, even helping me decide on the optimum paint colours for the rooms. He is hard working and keen to get on with the job to meet promised targets.

We've used Cabot decorating many times over the last year to do up our house room by room, and every time we have been thrilled with Adrian's work. Our walls are in terrible shape under the old paper, and the jobs always take longer than expected. However he sticks to his quoted price, and it looks amazing when he's done. He is also a nice guy who feeds our cat for us when he's doing work here and we're away, and we trust him entirely with the house. Thanks Adrian, see you soon for the next room!
