Domestic, Commercial & Industrial Painting & Decorating Contractors
Local Painting and Decorating Company Established Since 1984
Highly recommend decorators. The whole process of dealing with them was very professional, from the planning to the execution. Could not recommend them highly enough. They understood the time pressures involved in getting our charity back up and running and made sure that the work was all done on time. A massive thank you to David and team.
Thistle Decorating Services have just finished the third consecutive room for us and we are delighted with the results. David priced the work fairly and has been a delight to deal with even helping us coordinate joinery work as part of the project. Our woodwork was in a poor state and required a lot of preparation before painting and David and his team have delivered a quality result. I would not hesitate to recommend them.
The painter (Vince) I dealt with the morning the job started was a really nice guy straight away you knew he was a professional. I showed him the colours for the 4 rooms and I left and moved out for the 3 days it was going to take to do the job. So I don’t know if it was just Vince that done the job or if somebody else turned up to work with him. But what a job absolutely brilliant and I’m over the moon with the final result. I will definitely use Thistle again. My only slight moan is the job started a day later than planned and a some communication from the office would have been appreciated also the colour match scanner was not available so I had to pick the colours from the chart. Slight hic ups there but nothing drastic I think it was just a bad busy day with circumstances beyond anyone’s control. But I will definitely be using Thistle again absolutely brilliant job done
Complete re-decoration of one room with very high ceilings, including window and making shutters work + one very tall window returned to functioning and painted from a dilapidated state. Painters were on time, courteous, efficient and helpful. The work was completed well and in a shorter time than estimated at a decent price. I recommend highly.
