We recently had a large, custom-built media unit and shelving installed in our living room and needed someone to hand-paint it. Because the framework was raw MDF, I was really... read more particular about finding someone who knew how to prep the material properly rather than just treating it like standard wall painting. Jason was really easy to deal with from the start, and he had Ian do the job over about 4 days. Ian was an absolute perfectionist and so meticulous with the small details. He prepped all the raw MDF properly, sanded all the cut edges right back until they were completely smooth, and put on multiple coats for a really clean finish. The final look on the cupboard doors and shelving is excellent. He was punctual, tidy, and even took the time to fix the edge of our wallpaper nearby that was starting to lift. It’s great finding local trades you can actually trust who take real pride in their work. Really happy with how it turned out and will definitely use Novitas again for future projects!

I booked Novitas to decorate the outside of a large, Edwardian, detached house this summer, having read favourable reviews. Jason (the owner) gave a fixed quotation for the work, which... read more I accepted and the job was scheduled in. They arranged the scaffolding, which was erected on time. Despite scorching temperatures and despite no mains water for two days, the job was done on time and to a very high standard. The dodgy 120 year old timber was prepared with skill and extremely thoroughly. Ian, Gary, Torna and Barry were a pleasure to have around. I am very happy with the job done. This company is professional and easy to deal with. There are cheaper decorators, but if you want quality, in my experience, this company delivers.

Novitas was recommended by our local DIY store. Jason provided a very reasonable estimate for preparation and hanging wallpaper in the hall, staircase and landing in our Edwardian home. From... read more the outset, Jason instilled confidence. He is so knowledgable and generous in sharing his experience. The care and attention to detail whist preparing the walls resulted in a flawless finish. The job was not without its challenges, curved corners uneven surfaces and 120 years of wear and tear were all managed without complaint. Communication was great, we always knew what the timeframes were and when to expect him. Jason is a master craftsman and we feel extremely fortunate to have had him to complete the work. We will definitely be calling on Novitas for our next project. Many thanks again

Jason has been absolutely fantastic, so professional to deal with, and oversees a brilliant result. Barry worked tirelessly in the heatwave and did his very best to give us a perfect... read more finish. Our house looks absolutely beautiful and is a joy to wake up to. I will be using them again for the front of our house and interior.

Jason was able to fit us in at short notice to apply wallpaper on a feature wall. He did a brilliant job in just under a couple of hours. Jason resolved... read more an issue with a crack in the middle of the wall, applied the wallpaper beautifully, and left the living room spotless, as if he'd never been there. We are absolutely delighted with the feature wall, and I'm so pleased to have asked Jason to do the job. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a professional, high-quality decorator.

Jason re-hung the wallpaper on the feature wall in my bedroom. His quote was very reasonable and he was really reliable and punctual - he turned up on the day... read more and at the time he had said he would (plus he confirmed when he was on his way, so I knew there was no change to the plans we had made). He estimated perfectly how long the job would take and he was also very clean - when he left it was as if he had never been! But the thing that really stood out for me was how amazing his work was. The previous decorators had botched the hanging of the wallpaper, which had really upset me. But Jason hung it perfectly (and it wasn’t the easiest wallpaper to hang), bringing to life exactly how I had always imagined it should look like. I now admire it every time I walk into my bedroom. If you are wondering whether or not to go with Jason, do yourself a favour and just do - you will not regret it!
