Steve is a specialist in wallpaper hanging. He works with speed and accuracy to ensure best value for money.

You can be assured that Steve and his decorators get it right every time.

An eye-catching mural or beautifully designed wallpaper can totally elevate the look of a room. Many are digitally produced, so designs can be tailor made to your style and the look you want to create.

Consultancy

You may have a larger decorating or building project but do not have the time to oversee it yourself. Or you may want advice and guidance on how to cost a project specification and/or talk through some of the technical issues, to ensure that you are getting good value for money and the quality of finish you desire. As a qualified surveyor Steve is experienced in these areas from his many years of working on both small residential renovations and larger commercial projects, managing teams of operatives. He’s not just a great worker he’s a brilliant foreman too!
