Image sources

Service photographs illustrate the type of work. They are not photographs of The Aly Touch’s completed customer jobs. The before-and-after comparisons combine AI-generated illustrations and edited licensed stock images.

Aly’s portrait and comparison illustrations

Aly’s portrait was edited from a family-supplied photo to show her grey uniform with blue lettering. The kitchen, bathroom and skirting-board comparisons and the clean fridge/cupboard split illustration were generated with OpenAI image tools in September 2026. The kitchen comparison uses a raised view showing the worktop around the sink. The kitchen, bathroom and skirting before images were edited to show more visible removable surface build-up while preserving the clean reference composition.
