Malvern homes carry an enormous amount of trim: picture rails, ceiling roses, deep skirtings, panelled doors and ornate cornice. The labour sits in the detail, and that is exactly where cheaper quotes cut.
We price trim honestly, sand between enamel coats and cut every line by hand so the crisp separation between wall and trim reads clean from across the room.
Housing stock in Malvern: Edwardian and Victorian homes, Art Deco apartments and renovated period family residences.
