Review by Sophie
on 10th August 2026
"We’re absolutely thrilled with the painting work Steve completed in our kitchen and ensuite. After the rooms were fitted, the installers had left the finish in a pretty poor state, but Steve worked wonders. His prep work was incredibly thorough, and due to this the final result looks flawless. He gave us brilliant colour recommendations, kept us updated throughout, arrived on time every day, and left everything spotless. The difference compared to previous traders we’ve used is night and day — Steve genuinely cares about the end result, and it shows. The work was completed exactly within the quoted timeframe, and we couldn’t be happier. We would 100% use Steve again and highly recommend him."
Trader reply: "Wow! What an amazing review both Sophie and Glenn: and a humongous thank you to Gemma for yet another recommendation! It was an absolute pleasure to do this project but was left with an awful lot of preparation due to poor workmanship of the kitchen/bathroom fitters. As I mentioned, a decent decorator “ices the cakes and puts the cherry on top.” Thank you again for such a brilliant review and you were both a pleasure to work for! Kind regards Steve."

Review by Eddie
on 22nd July 2026
Eddie - Image 1 "Delighted with the work Steve did us - Painted 3 sash windows (outside and inside) and toilet/shower room (walls, ceiling and woodwork: door, door frame and window frame). Excellent work ethic, courteous and very skillful. Very considerate in tidying and clearing up. Went beyond what was expected and would not hesitate to offer him work in the future."
Trader reply: "What a fantastic review both Eddie and Jane: and thank you very much for taking the time to leave one too. Was an absolute pleasure to work for you! Polite, courteous and hospitable. See you soon to decorate the hall/stairs/landing. Kind regards, Steve."

Mark Butterworth - Image 1 "Steve is an excellent decorator, very particular in doing full preparation, skilled in getting the detail absolutely right. And a pleasure to engage for my decorating. Always on time, worked a long day, cleaned as he went. Excellent end product, my hall, stairs and landing look great."
Trader reply: "What a fantastic review Mark and thank you very much for taking the time to leave one too - much obliged! The Little Greene ‘Tracery II’ is a gorgeous colour and looks fantastic with the pure brilliant white and high-gloss-finish of the Johnstones Aqua Guard. Looking forward to coming back and taking some pictures for my portfolio once your carpet has been fitted. Special thanks to Peter and Deidre for the recommendation - thank you. A superb customer to work for and hope to do so again. Kind regards, Steve."

Review by Louise H Hindmarsh
on 4th March 2026
Louise H Hindmarsh - Image 1 "Difficult to get a photo of all the amazing decorating Steve has done to give justice to his work. Mum’s Hall, Stairs and Landing had not been done in 30+ years. It was all shades of dark brown including the woodwork which made the house so very depressing. We discussed colour schemes and went for much brighter colour including all the woodwork. The difference is amazing. Steve took tremendous care with preparation work and as a result we did not need lining paper on the walls. Steve painted all the dark panelling plus spindles on the stairs in our chosen colour. You can see this in the photo. His attention to detail was excellent. Left the work areas clean and tidy at the end of the day. Would highly recommend and well definitely be using again."
Trader reply: "Thank you very much for such a fantastic review Louise and for taking the time to leave one - much obliged indeed! Have to say the space looks completely transformed as to what it looked like previously - so much more light! Was an absolute pleasure to help design the hall/stairs and landing; colour-drenching a space looks superb where appropriate. Thank you again and perhaps I’ll see you again soon in the future? Kind regards, Steve."
