Decorating 5 Shef and his son Tommy have just finished painting our entire house inside and outside front and we are delighted with their work. They even did an extra box room they hadn’t originally quoted for at no extra cost and have kept us updated throughout. Happy to move furniture as my husband couldn’t. Extremely reliable and professional, neat and tidy and completed the work in very good time. Highly recommend. Thank you Shef and Tommy 👏 — with Absolute Decorating Enfield.

External Decorating EN2 5 I would absolutely recommend Absolute Decorating Services! I had Shef and Tommy around to paint the front and back of my house, and the windows. They worked fantastically well as a team, and completed the work in the time we had set aside for the job. Their attention to detail was great, and they were clean, efficient and great value for money. They were a pleasure to have around and I wouldn't hesitate in booking them again - indeed I hopefully look forward to seeing them again soon, as I have more jobs to do! Highly recommended 5 star service. Thanks Shef and Tommy. Anna / EN2

Internal Decorating 5 Have just had Shef and Tommy to decorate the inside of my house and what a good job they have done. They were punctual, friendly, trustworthy and had good regard of my personal belongs. They would offer suggestions, if I wasn't sure about something. They always tided up before they left. They worked really hard and only stopped a couple of times (10-15mins) for refreshments. They will be back in a couple of months to complete the work. What a brilliant father and son team. I would highly recommend them.

Decorating 5 I had two rooms, a hall and landing decorated by Shef & his son Tommy. They were always on time and respectful of your property. I don’t have many straight lines in my house and opted for a dark colour next to a light colour (sorry guys) so cutting in was an art in itself. They’ve done a lovely job, I’d definitely recommend them to friends and family. Thank you Shef and Tommy see you next time I’ve some decorating to do

House decoration 5 Shef redecorated our entire house in June 2019. He was very efficient throughout the whole project which took around 3 weeks, working around our family and furniture. He made sure everything was protected each day and then uncovered everything at the end of the day so we could still live comfortably in the house. The work was done to a high standard throughout and Shef was very happy to pick up some minor snagging at the end. Highly recommended!
Andrew 28 Aug 2019

Thanks to Shef and John we now have wonderful looking doors. If you need any decorating work done, call these guys.
