James F
Pittville, Cheltenham

"We found Barrington after trialling a conventional decorator at our grade II-listed townhouse, realising we needed a more specialist approach to deal with aspects such as lime plaster and cornicing, while also achieving a high-quality finish which met our particular standards. The team have been excellent throughout, decorating around 10 rooms of our house from scratch with a professional finish, in addition to providing carpentry and building services so that our project didn't get held up. I would have no hesitation recommending Barrington."

Miss C Ralph
London Road, Cheltenham

"I chose Barrington because I had moved into a listed property in need of some loving care and attention.  I wasn’t disappointed as Jon and his team gave the whole place exactly that. Throughout the time they worked on the property, they took great satisfaction from their work and showed a clear sense of pride and enjoyment in all that they did.  I did nothing in terms of packing up and moving rooms around but each evening returned to a near spotless house, with everything back in place, as far as was humanly possible. The final result was just what I had hoped for and the standard of workmanship excellent.  – thank you."

"Barrington transformed our large, dog-eared, sixteenth century farmhouse room by room, floor by floor, inside and out. The male and female team from this family company were meticulous, professional, discreet and - importantly - nice people to have in one's house. The work Barringtons have done for us is of the highest standard and we recommend them wholeheartedly."
Anne and Mike, Stanley Pontlarge
