About

Hi, I'm Spencer.

I've been decorating for around 20 years — interior and exterior work, plus most of the DIY jobs that come with owning a home. Wallpaper, gloss, satin and varnish, coving, artex, rendering — if it needs finishing properly, it's covered.

Alongside the decorating, I take on the general DIY that piles up: TV brackets, flat-pack furniture, shelves hung straight, basic carpentry. One person to call instead of three.

I'm always at the end of the phone if you've got questions before booking anything in.
