Responded promptly to initial enquiry and provided a realistic quote. Carried out work expected to take a week in under 3.5 days. All work completed to the highest standard. Very clean and very helpful. Steve and Jason are totally trustworthy and a pleasure to have working in your house. Totally professional and highly recommended. At last I have found someone I can trust to do a high quality job when I need work done.

We had never used HPM before, but I was prepared to give them a go. The Estimate arrived promptly following a site visit. we agreed a price and start date. Steven & painters arrived 8 am on the agreed day and worked solidly throughout the works. The quality of the paintwork was first class. They were quiet, tidy and left the site in good order. I would have no hesitation using them again, and happy to recommend this company

One of those rarities these days. Turns up on time, quotes quickly and does a very good job for a reasonable price. I've used Steve and his team for three jobs now, with one more in the pipeline. Once was for a redecoration of a lounge in a flat, the second for a complete redecoration of a bungalow and the third for a partial repair to a bathroom involving a new false wall, re-tiling and the fitting of new taps, shower and shower screen. All work has been carried out to a high standard. Highly recommended.

We just had to leave a review for Steve and his team, as we are so pleased with the quality of work he has undertaken on our behalf. We first used Steve to update the interior of our house - he painted our lounge and hallway, lots of woodwork painted and we had some large cracks in our hallway which Steve filled prior to painting. Steve and co were very reliable, pleasant and tidy, they arrived on time and got the job done to a very high standard (I am quite fussy!) We then had Steve back to fit a new bathroom suite for us, it was rather involved as we wanted a new layout which required new pipes

I was looking to have a new bathroom suite but to be honest had no idea where to start! Steve and his team were recommended to me by a friend and when he came to have a look we discussed how to proceed and I felt very happy with some of the ideas Steve put forward. I received my estimate promptly and was happy to proceed. I have to say that from start to finish I was very impressed with Steve and co, they arrived on time and always left my property clean after a day's work! He kept me informed of timescales and his workmanship on the finished article speaks for itself. I now have a bathroom I love
