Wallpaper hanging
A good part of my work is hanging wallpaper. Here are a few papers going up on recent jobs, and the finished rooms.

“Chris recently painted the whole interior of our bungalow. We are absolutely delighted. Being new to the area we were apprehensive when looking for a painter. Found Chris on Facebook and contacted him. He came , gave me a quite and start date. Chris is professional, friendly, organised and very tidy. Chris is very good at communicating and trustworthy so we would highly recommend him.”
“Chris has done several jobs for us since we moved into our home two years ago and will be doing so again. His work is outstanding and his eye for detail and a perfect job is a rarity these days. My wife and I have only had a positive experience of Chris as he is polite and works around our busy home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chris to anyone, if you want a decorating project done perfectly first time, Chris is your man.”
“Chris did a great job of painting our lounge. Excellent communication and very reasonable quote compared to others we received. He was very pleasant, tidy and worked efficiently to get the job done before the arrival of our baby!”
