S C Decorators

Ranked 3 of 11 in Painters and decorators in Telford

Sole Trader

Telford · Service area: Telford, West Midlands

Our verdict

Our judgement: S C Decorators suits you if you want an established local firm for wallpapering or full-room redecoration with named contact routes [2][4]. Review volume is healthy but insurance and trading history rest on directory wording rather than documents. Before booking, ask to see public liability insurance and a written quote naming paint and coats.
