Harriet Chappell, Wimbledon

“I have known Gerard Skilling has been decorating my flat which was in quite a delipidated state. At all times, Gerard has shown only care and professionalism whilst working throughout the day until early evening and the finished product is one of excellence. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to any prospective customer.”

Mrs S R Thompson, Streatham

“I would like to place on record my sincere thanks to you for being so considerate and courteous in conducting out business together. I am sure you could have wished me anywhere at times, especially when I phoned and said I thought the walls in my lounge looked thirsty! But you turned up with a smile and made me a happier person by giving the walls another coat of paint. Thank you on these occasions does not always seem to be the right word to use, but you certainly have my very sincere thanks.

Thank you once again Gerard and I look forward to seeing you in the future.”

Janet Ames, Morden

Other Trade Recommendations

As a self-employed painter decorator since 1981, I’ve built a network of high quality, reliable fellow contractors who I’m happy to recommend.

For example, a customer might need a carpet cleaned, or a plumber etc. I will advise them of trades who are totally reliable. Nothing worse if you recommend someone and it doesn't work out, you can end up with egg on your face (as the saying goes).

At work…

A very sincere thank you to yourselves for recommending him to me – I am completely satisfied with each and every aspect of this venture.
— Mrs Vera Andrews, Morden
