Rated 4.9 by Manchester homeowners
“They worked overnight across two weekends so we never closed. Professional, tidy and genuinely helpful with colour advice. Already booked them for our second site.”
“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.”
