Painting & Decorating- 21 Feb 2023
Steve was really helpful from start to finish, and we are really pleased with the work completed. Steve moved and replaced radiators, added new plug sockets, installed a very complex chandelier, wall-mounted two TVs, as well as painting and wallpapering multiple rooms. He was able to offer very helpful suggestions to ensure we didn't overspend and to make sure everything looked nice/right to get the results we wanted. All work was completed to a high standard, and he was flexible with our schedule, punctual, tidy and friendly, so we are happy to recommend Steve and will be coming back to him for help with our future projects.

Lee was professional, efficient and completed the work to a high standard. Nothing was too much trouble and he ended up doing some additional painting of kitchen and outside railings, as we were so pleased with his work, and he was happy to accommodate. We would use Lee again without hesitation and would highly recommend to others.

Very pleased with the work that John carried out for us which was wallpapering a very large living room & stairs, boxing in some pipes (did a fantastic job with this!) and painting amongst a few other little bits. John's price is fair but his dedication and hard work are clearly visible and he is a lovely friendly guy. We will definitely be using him again in the new year for some more work around the house and would not hesitate to recommend hi to others. Thanks John!

Bathroom Fitting- 8 Jul 2019
The shower and sink were fitted over a couple of days mostly by Adrian the other partner who proved to be a very experienced fitter. He takes care to get the job done to what the customer wants despite his english skills being limited. We are most pleased with the outcome and the cost which was good value. Others need to understand quotes are based on labour only with materials extra - unusual in the UK.

I hired Alex initially to do some fencing work but I quickly realized he can turn his hands to pretty much anything, with professional and amazing results. We ended up asking Alex to fit some lamps, connect a dryer and install kitchen shelving. I am extremely impressed with is work attitude and will definitely use his service again. Cannot recommend more highly!

Darren worked very quickly and efficiently painting our whole house internally. He pointed out other bits that needed doing along the way, that we hadn't noticed, which was really helpful. He looked after our home and put moved furniture back in it's place at the end of the working day so we could still live comfortably whilst the work was ongoing. We're super happy with the finish, very clean, and very clean-wokring too. Thank you Darren! Would highly recommend and would definitely use Darren again!

I was thoroughly impressed with Gio right from the start. He visited promptly to assess the work (exterior painting, varnishing & brickwork) and produced a clear, itemised estimate. He came on the date we agreed, with a colleague, and they completed all the work to an excellent standard, despite worsening weather conditions. Gio checked any queries with me as they arose, and explained any choices I needed to make clearly. He also agreed to add an extra job on for me. Bad weather had caused damage to my garden shed roof, and although they couldn't fit the refelting in that day, they made a temporary cover to keep it secure until the work can be done. I was very happy and would definitely recommend GRN Services.
