Rated 4.9 by Manchester homeowners
“I use Paintivo for all my rentals now. Quick turnaround between tenants, sensible durable finishes and photos sent when done so I don’t need to visit.”
“From the first visit to the final walk-round, Paintivo were brilliant. Seven rooms in eight days, dust sheets everywhere and spotless every evening. The finish on the woodwork is better than new.”
“Our three-storey hallway had defeated two other decorators. Mike and Aman set up a proper platform, worked safely and the result is stunning. Fair, fixed price and they finished a day early.”

Why the same colour looks different in every room
North-facing rooms make colours cooler and darker; south-facing rooms warm them up. We assess the light in each room and adjust the shade so your scheme looks right everywhere.
- Orientation checked room by room
- Samples viewed at different times of day
