Are your interiors starting to look weary and less than perfect? Instead of an expensive redecoration project, painting is the most cost-efficient way to add a new lease of life to your property. A MESSAGE FROM OUR PAINTER I’m Kimon, originally from Greece where I mastered the art of painting and decorating. With over 25 years of experience as a professional painter/decorator, I am very passionate about achieving perfect results that create a smooth finish and wonderful interiors. I recently moved to England to be closer to my sons, and over the last few months, I have painted for friends and family, always delivering great results. My sons decided to start Flawless Home Painting, a small family company so their father can keep doing what he loves best. I hope you can see that I am an honest and hardworking person with professional integrity. I take pride in what I do and in making sure all my customers are delighted by the results I produce. Whether you want me to repaint an entire home or focus on a single room, I can create an effective transformation that will certainly impress. I’m precise and patient, never rushing through yet always completing the job when I say it will get done. I’m a good judge of spaces and can also offer advice on the right finish to suit the walls and complement your décor. I treat customers with a friendly, helpful attitude while getting the job done to the highest standards. My rates are fairly priced and customers that book during the off-peak season could get a 10%-30% discount. I also offer free estimates on every job. If you value perfection and exceptional attention, please get in touch for a chat about your needs. Thanks you and I welcome the opportunity of painting your space.

I do agree with feedback reviewed by Jeff 24 April "NO FILLING NO SANDING JUST PAINTING AND NO CUTTING IN, VERY POOR SKILL LEVEL NO ATTEMPT TO ADDRESS SHORTCOMINGS CRACKS APPEARING AFTER 4 WEEKS...........VERY POOR WORKMANSHIP VERY DISAPPOINTING AND £4K COST SO I FEEL RIPPED OFF AND HAVE SPENT 4 WEEKS RECTIFYING" Moreover, I sent an email to the painter about the flaws he has left behind and you don't hear anything from him. I am in the state of regret to hire him for interior painting including woods.

I'm a self employed decorator with 21 years experience and cover all aspects of decorating.
