Our Team
All of our team are fully qualified professionals, from plumbers, decorators, electricians, plasterers, general DIY handypeople, to gardeners, cleaners, and home helps!
There are 60 of us, and all projects are co-ordinated from our office in Waterloo by a team of 3.
Here’s just a few of us…
-
Pilaur – Electrician
I come from Barcelona and have been in London for the last 10 years. I worked in various jobs while learning English but always wanted to work in a trade. About 6 years ago, I decided on studying to be an Electrician. It took 3 years studying in the evening while working as a hospital porter but it was time [...]

Debbie (part of Decorating Duo – with Julie!)
We were singers for 13 years but wanted a new path and wanted to remain self-employed. We had always had an interest in interiors and use to stay up all hours when decorating at home, so decided that maybe this could be the next career path. We both went to college for a year, now have an NVQ 3 and [...]

Catherine – Interior Designer and Decorator
I’m a fully-qualified interior designer, working for over 15 years to help clients with space design, storage solutions, alterations and small and bigger odd jobs. For me the most rewarding situation is where I can design and build, rather than leave the execution of my design to somebody else. I love problem solving; I found tremendous amount of self-fulfilment when [...]

Jennie – Decorator and Joiner
I took my degree in Contemporary Arts but soon discovered a love for all things maintenance and construction. I started as a labourer and progressed to a dry-liner before heading out on my own as a decorator when I had the great fortune to live next door to a kind a generous woman who slowly trained me on the art [...]

Sharon – Wall and Floor Tiler
I’m a wall and floor tiler, specialising in mosaics. I’d worked in the packaging design industry for 20 odd years and I was made redundant and decided to re-train. Having always worked with my hands, and being creative, tiling really appealed to me. After my professional training, I also did a mosaic course in Italy with Bisazza. Some tilers love [...]

Kelly – Electrician
I spent 10 years as a Personal Assistant in the NHS mainly in Mental Health, so have a passion for helping people! But I wanted to try something practical that took to me some place new everyday! I worked for my dad from time to time as a painter/labourer, and I really enjoyed being on site – so I thought [...]
