Anyone know any decorators? need someone to help with our hallway. I started but never seem to have the time to finish it off. Need to get someone in to get it done.

Can anyone recommend?

I can supply everything needed, just need the labour.

I just wish to state FTR that we don't actually have carpets in most of the house here haha, and my offer still stands.

I don't mind painting as long as you pay me (amount negotiable). I'm guaranteed to do a good job - I hate shoddy work and attention to detail is my speciality! =)

I should perhaps mention there's some wallpaper that needs coming off first, before painting.

I've PM'd my contact details over, feel free to buzz me at your leisure regarding this job and I'll happily take a look. Am available most of the time including w/e's, and you'll find my rates quite reasonable. Likewise I can also smooth out any small dents / cracks / bumps in the wall that may have accumulated over time.

Wallpaper you can easily remove with a steam cleaner if you have one :) just steam for few seconds then peel off while still warm.
I think that iron with a good steam would also do the job.

Some form of wallpaper perforator can be very effective in allowing the steam tp penetrate, especially where the paper may have been painted.
