About Classic Decor
I’m John Sheehy, and I own and run Classic Decor. I started my working life as an apprentice decorator, working for my father’s construction company.
I worked with some excellent decorators who taught me that if something is worth doing, it’s worth doing well. I started my own business, Classic Decor, in 1985 and within a year I was fortunate enough to have more work than I could handle. I began employing decorators who had previously trained me, so I’m confident about the quality of the people who work for me. Between us, we have more than 120 years of decorating experience.
For your assurance, we are fully insured and all of our tradespeople are Enhanced DBS Checked, and we are also members of important trade bodies:
