    "Jamie and his team have absolutely transformed the inside of my living room, dining room and hallway. Their skills and knowledge are outstanding. Providing ideas and opinions where necessary. Advising what would work best and what wouldn’t. We have already booked them in for more paint work and will have them return next year for the outside. They are time efficient and very quick at what they do and will finish the job by all means necessary. Very happy customer and would highly recommend."

    Trader reply: "Thank you so much, Sophie, for your kind words and lovely feedback. We truly enjoyed every moment of this project, and seeing your genuine, surprised reaction when you first laid eyes on it was pure magic — we loved it. We’re already looking forward to creating more special projects together in the future."

    "Penton and sons have just completed painting the outside of our bungalow. Jamie came and priced the job and kept a close eye on the job from beginning to end offering constructive advice and guidance. Gary who carried out the work was punctual, polite and very professional with his work. We are so pleased with the end result that i have asked them to carry out further work pn the inside of the property. I would highly recommend penton and sons for your future projects"
