Charles Budd Decorating

I am a 43 year old family man living in Stratford-upon-Avon. Having learned my trade under Lee Shaw of Perfecto Painters in Hove, I set up my own decorating business in 2004. I have worked on interiors and exteriors of large new-build construction sites, restaurants, shops, modern houses, flats, Georgian townhouses and Victorian villas. The oldest building I've decorated (both inside and out) is an early 16th Century thatched cottage.

I take a great pride in my work - there are few things more satisfying than the feeling of standing back at the end of a job and thinking 'that's not at all bad, that's not!' Most of my work comes from personal recommendations, one of the many reasons I never do bodge jobs!

I sometimes employ other decorators on large contracts, but the finish is to my specification.
