My previous decorator after 3 attempts failed to paint my ceiling properly. Frankie came and sorted it out the first time. I then showed Frankie a wall that had been finished by my previous decorator which I was unhappy with. Frankie gave me a very reasonable price and came back and fixed it. As he was doing that he also corrected a few other jobs that had been messed up by the previous decorator but didnt charge me anymore.
These days finding a honest professional tradesman is very difficult. I would recommend Frankie all day long. The 2 other jobs I asked him to look at he could have easily priced me up for them but he didnt. On top of that he left me a roll of tape to do my edges with and gave me some very good tips.

What is Venetian plastering?
Venetian plastering is a decorative plaster technique that involves applying multiple layers of lime-based plaster with a trowel to create a smooth, marble-like finish. It's known for its polished, high-end look and tactile depth.

When applied and maintained correctly, Venetian plaster is extremely durable and can last for decades. It's less prone to cracking than traditional plaster and can be repaired if scratched.
