Where the work has been
From beach huts to Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium
Graham has painted at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium in London. Closer to home, the work includes local schools and churches, and a Grade II listed house where the walls, windows, soffits and fascias were prepared and repainted, followed by the barn, an outbuilding and several interior rooms.
Hotels, offices, shops, houses, bungalows, flats, sheds and beach huts are all welcome, and no job is too big or too small.
In customers’ words
“WOW! I returned home dreading the clear up, No Worries there.”
Perfect choice
“I recently had work carried out by pattern perfect. I left Graham a key to carry out work whilst I was on Holiday. He decorated two rooms for me. My bedroom and my dining room. WOW! I returned home dreading the clear up, No Worries there. I found both Graham and Catherine a pleasure to deal with. I will use them again very soon, my hallway needs the pattern perfect touch.”
prettygarden · Yell review, 6 August 2012 Exterior House
“I would not hesitate in recommending Pattern Perfect to anyone looking for complete professionalism in arranging the work, and a superior finish to the decoration itself. Graham arrived on time both days, and worked flat out to complete the job. …”
ChrisRo · Yell review, 9 June 2013 “This is to thank you for the good work you did on my bungalow. You came as promised and worked so efficiently, I'm so pleased with the results and will recommend Pattern Perfect to anyone.”
