I am a sole trader providing a professional painting & decorating service. I am fully qualified in all aspects of the trade with over 25 years experience and have been running the business since September 2003. My aim is to provide a quality finish at a competitive price. I have worked on many and varied contracts ranging from painting a front door to shopfitting opticians to painting offices and warehouses, but mainly I work for private customers painting and decoarating houses inside and out to a very high standard. I can also provide other handyman type services with skills I have gained over the years including some small plastering jobs, plumbing maintenance, basic joinery tasks etc. With a friendly and helpful outlook I hope to help you achieve the goal of a good job at a good price.

Martin is certainly the most honest, realistic and trustworthy trades person I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. We’ve renovated a few properties over the years dealt with dozens of tradespeople, both good and bad and Martin sits at the top of the good pile. He had a passion for the job, charged a reasonable price and showed knowledge and commitment. He deals with all sorts of outside jobs and I will get him back in a heartbeat to deal with anything we need on our land or home. He’s a legend.

I'd have no hesitation in recommending Craig or using his services again.

From coffee tables and chairs to staircases, floors and grand pianos, I have done it all. Colour matching, change of use and change of design. Government contracts in the past, included various departments from department of business to health (usually indirectly). Also RAF dance floor to royal navy officer training head office, all when I was living nearer London. I have been in this business since leaving school, and intend to continue while I still can because I have a 3 year old daughter at a rather late age. In the 1970s when I started most people were doing domestic furniture in this trade, I however was trained on government department jobs as well as domestic jobs. In those days most polishing jobs were dark traditional colours, by the late 80s to early naughties they were more natural colours and more recently lighter than natural. Perhaps you require fitted furniture or architectural joinery changes, such as doors and frames to blend with carpets or curtains. Send a photo and let's see what can be done. I also repair damaged furniture etc, maybe you have a deep scratch or broken furniture that you love that needs repair. (Again just send a photo)
