What Derby Homeowners Say About Our Painting & Decorating Specialists
Sash window repaint and rope replacement on our Derby 1930s semi. Wallpaper steamed off, walls stabilised, two-coat finish in chalky matt. Total £2640 over 6 days. Dust-sheets every day, hoover at end of each evening, no walking dust around.
Compared four painters in Derby through BestBuilders. Two PDA-affiliated painters, two not. Picked the most thorough one. Old paint stripped from the woodwork before priming and finishing. Final invoice £2845. Dust-sheets every day, hoover at end of each evening.
Two summers on, the sash window paint has not cracked at all. Painter we found via BestBuilders in Derby specced two coats of mist coat instead of one - paint absorption is much more even. Total £3308. Recommended to two friends, both delighted.
