  • Couldn't be happier!
    I hired Finbarr and immediately trusted his judgement about what needed to be done in my house. We wanted to update our house so I asked him to take up the carpet on the stairs and then sand and paint the stairs white. I also wanted a large double room to be revamped, as well as the bathroom with not just a bit of paint but also wallpaper. This was also applied to our hallway. He did all the work whilst we were on holiday and when we came back it was a big and happy change. I would totally recommend Finbarr to anyone. Why? simple. He is a trustworthy, hard working, dedicated and most importantly gets the job done in time and with no hassle. His prices for his work are also very fair. I would and will hire him again!

  • Excellent Painting Work
    This was the second time I've asked Finbarr to help - This time it was to help paint a set of walls. He finished much quicker than I anticipated the work would take and the job was done to perfection. I would strongly recommend anyone looking for similar work done to contact Finbarr - He's a joy to have around and always does a marvellous job!

  • Excellent craftsmen
    Finbarr Wall, painter, decorator and plasterer, and his co-worker Kevin, a carpenter are both not only good workers, but also craftsmen. They take pride in their work, do it to a high standard and charge reasonable rates.

  • Finbarr Wall
    Finbarr was excellent - both in terms of his wit and his work. He's as much a companion as he is a craftsman. He organised everything: the scaffolding, Joe who pointed the entire 35 foot high back wall, Kevin who did the woodwork, converting pre-existent French windows into double-glazed units, and the man himself who painted it all. The timing was excellently organised, the work was to the highest standard, and it was all done with a smile on the face. The price was also highly reasonable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Finbarr and his excellent team.

  • Plastering and decorating
    Finbarr did a brilliant job at such short notice. He advised and assisted me with buying the paints and completed the work to a high standard, on time and according to the estimate. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a good plasterer or decorator!

  • fantastic job
    Finbarr did a fantastic job painting the sash windows, windowsills, exterior woodwork and doors. He quoted, organised scaffolding and finished on time and to budget. He was punctual, cheerful and is the first painter in twenty years to burn off the old paint and thus did a first class job.I cannot recommend him highly enough and in addition he has a great singing voice.

    Finbarr did an excellent job on the exterior of my sash windows, which were in poor repair and now look wonderful. He was quick, very thorough, and worked to a very high standard for a good price. I highly recommend him.

    Finbarr responded quickly to my long-distance request - carried out the work according to the estimate - advised me on solutions to problems that arose - my tenant reported that the work was to a high standard. Finbarr was professional and also able to conduct our business by email - a bonus as I am abroad. Would definitely use him again.

  • Job well done, Thank you
    Finbarr painted all of our exterior woodwork and stonework efficiently and quickly. He prepares all the surfaces well and the results look great, 6 months after a most severe winter! We have used Finbarr regularly for over 10 years, for interior and exterior decorating as well as for some small scale plastering work. His rates are very competitive He takes care and can take on some repairs of decorative plaster mouldings. We recommend Finbarr to our neighbours and they have had similar good service.

    Finbarr painted two rooms for me recently. His workmanship is excellent. He priced for the piece of work, and kept to his price. I shall certainly use him again. He is a cheery, no nonsense fellow, and I enjoyed having him around. I would recommend him heartily.

  • Finbarr made an excellent job of single-handedly redecorated most of our flat recently. We were particularly impressed by the job he made of lining/painting the high ceilings and original cornicing of our Victorian flat, and also by the excellent job he made of preparing and painting the walls throughout. Finbarr is very reliable, completely trustworty and was dedicated soley to our job for its duration. Further, he gave a competitive quote which he stuck too. He is flexible and was willing to work at weekends in order to get the job done. Finbarr has a direct, no-nonsense approach, which means you always know exactly what needs to be done, how long it will take etc. He is also very friendly and has a good sense of humour too. We would certainly recommend him.

  • A job well done
    Finbar did an excellent job of painting the sash windows on my flat. The work was to a high standard and good value plus he worked over the weekend so I did not have to take a day off to keep an eye on the flat as the paint dried. I have no qualms in adding my strong recommendation to those already on this site.

  • Excellent work and very trustworthy
    We needed to repaint almost the entire interior of our 4 floor Victorian house at very short notice. I feel we were fortunate to find Finbarr who gave us a competitive all-inclusive quote and was able to start the job quickly. His standard of workmanship was very high and he worked around several other tradespeople working at the property at the same time without complaint. As well as being very professional he was a pleasure to have around the house and we will definitely be using him when we come to paint the exterior of the house. I would recommend him without hesitation.

  • Excellent
    I employed Finbarr recently to paint several rooms in my house. He was upfront with an all-in quote, and clear and straightforward about his availability. He came when he said he would and finished the job on time. I was impressed that he took a real interest in doing the job well, fixing a long crack in the ceiling at no extra charge and taking care on filling, smoothing and other preparation of areas to be painted. He was happy to provide advice with a view to my getting value for money. Overall I can warmly recommend Finbarr and will be using him on my house in the future. Finbarr is also handy with recommendations - I have employed Kevin, who is an excellent, meticulous carpenter with real skill in design.

  • We struck lucky with Finbarr last April when we were looking for a decorator for the outside of our house and some internal decorations. He did an excellent job outside and inside; the paintwork is still looking new and all at reasonable, affordable prices. He also supplied a carpenter, Kevin for some repair work to our staircase and to help him with putting up a new ceiling in the kitchen. He's cheerful to have around the house and happy to do a variety of decorating jobs- small and large and 100% reliable. We would definitely recommend him.

  • We have called on Finbarr for decorating jobs and related minor building work over several years and have never been disappointed. He is efficient in his working habits, and has been able to take on and advise on how best to tackle tricky work renovating our old victorian house. He has provided us with an equally proffesional carpenter with whom he recently remodelled our bathroom. He is friendly, does not waste time and always cleans up scupulously at the end of the day. His prices are fair and he is entirely trustworthy.
