The homes we decorate in Thurnby
Thurnby, Bushby and Scraptoft are mainly detached and larger semi-detached family homes, from 1930s and post-war houses along the main roads to 1970s, 80s and newer estates. Bigger homes mean bigger hallways, tall stairwells and open landings, which take careful access and planning. Many owners here want a high-end finish, such as heritage colours, crisp woodwork and panelled features, rather than a quick refresh.

"Julian was absolutely great from start to finish. The short timeline I required to get the job completed was not an issue for him. The finish product was great and couldn't recommend his services anymore! 10/10!"
