About Us…

Decorating started for me with my father. He left school aged 15 in 1958, immediately starting a 6-year apprenticeship in painting and decorating. Dad became a self-employed painter and decorator in 1986.

This is where I became interested as I helped my Dad during school holidays. When I left school in 1989 my Dad had established a reliable reputation and a busy schedule. So I joined the business first as a year out from education. As my interest grew I started a day release ‘City and Guilds’ course in decorating at Cauldon college in Stoke on Trent.

As my confidence grew I began to excel at college and finally achieved two Distinctions and one Credit. I also won “Student of the Year’ and represented the college in the ‘Polycell Apprentice of the year’ and the ‘Brolac Young Decorator of the Year’, achieving a final place in both.

Dad and I continued to work together building a reputation of reliability and cleanliness until Dad retired in 2013 aged 70. I have continued working, cementing our reputation and building on the foundations of what I’ve learnt since I first helped my Dad in 1986.

I have now been in business for 30 years - located in Sandbach, Cheshire.
