Quality Decorating with a Personal Touch

John Holliday is a York-based painter and decorator with over a decade of experience transforming homes and businesses across the city. Having grown up in Poppleton and lived in York since childhood, John has strong roots in the local community and takes pride in helping his neighbours and local businesses refresh their spaces.

Clients describe John as methodical, tidy, and reliable. Around 90% of his work comes from referrals and repeat customers — a reflection of the trust he builds and the quality he delivers. Every project is fully insured, and John guarantees his workmanship so you can feel confident your property is in safe hands.

John’s approach is simple: treat every space with care, communicate clearly, and leave each job better than he found it. Whether it’s painting a single room, plastering walls ready for redecoration, refreshing a shop front, or transforming an entire property, John works carefully and efficiently to agreed timelines.

Away from decorating, John is a keen musician and plays with York band The Lost Trends, whose music has even featured on TV. Known for being calm, approachable, and professional, John brings those same qualities into his work on every project.
