Testimonials

'We found Shaun to be professional, his rates reasonable & very easy to have around, we would happily use him again'. 

Jojo Moyes  international best selling author.

 Shaun has been painting and decorating at our house for a number of years. As the house is rendered, and until recently had wooden sash windows, there is plenty to do outside and inside. His work is excellent and his attention to detail is second to none. As a result it lasts well and looks fantastic, his charges are fair, he gets the job done in good time and with the minimum of fuss. And most of all he is a delight to have around, always cheerful, always tidy, always considerate and helpful, great sense of humour. Can’t recommend him highly enough.

“I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Shaun whose results are quite simply brilliant. He is extremely reliable, courteous and it was very comforting to know our property was in such good hands whilst we were living abroad in Hong Kong. I wont entertain using anyone else in the future as his work surpassed our high expectation and he is a consummate professional. I thoroughly recommend him!”

Tim Hutchings, President Humanscale International.

'We asked Shaun to come and give us a quote to paint the exterior of our UK home whilst we were overseas working, the masonry and all the woodwork including the cladding as we had seen him working on many of the properties in Thaxted village - and we so lucked out!!!

He did a fantastic job , went above and beyond what any painter had done previously and is an individual who really cares about his trade.

Shaun gives great advice on types of paint products and keeps the client well informed at all times.

He had the keys to the property the first week as we were still in Shanghai and we were happy to trust him with our home. Arriving the second week we were able to see the extremely thorough and time consuming job he was doing with the preparation before any painting even began!! 

The results spoke for themselves and so many people have commented on our newly painted home - Shaun breathed new life into it!!!

So thank you to Shaun, we would definitely ask him to do work in the future and absolutely recommend him to prospective new clients'.

'Shaun painted the outside of our house this year and we are very pleased with the result.

He worked hard and virtually uninterrupted all day and we were particularly pleased that he avoided disturbing the House Martins and even came back after they had departed to finish off. We would thoroughly recommend using Shaun.'

 

I’ve written two testimonials. I don’t mind which one you use:

 

1) Shaun is a cheerful, charming, chap and a skillful decorator. If structural repairs are needed to doors or windows he helpfully draws these details to your attention and will fix them before applying any paint. Shaun will also give his input if you are unsure what colour paint to select. He has decorated both my office in Thaxted and my family home in Great Sampford. Shaun is a professional and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. 

2) Shaun looks like he would be just as comfortable up a tree as he is up a ladder. But don’t be fooled by his love of tie dye and hippie paraphernalia – he won’t paint rainbows on your house. Shaun likes to have a sing while he works but he really shouldn’t. He may be listening to West Coast Americana on his headphones but his voice is more West Country Apple Farmer. Not bad with a paintbrush though.
