I agree with all the preceding positive reviews about John Lewis of Allowadd Co. From the moment we first made contact to the last brush stroke, John was courteous, very helpful and professional. He carried out the redecoration of our kitchen/breakfast room to a very high standard and even picked up on bits which were not in the original specification. John completed the redecoration to our entire satisfaction and we would highly recommend him. We will definitely use his service again.

I hired John to redecorate the house I had just bought. This included patching holes in the walls, repainting the walls and ceilings, sanding and treating all the solid oak floors. John’s quote was clearly itemised and he was accurate on when he could start and how long he would take. Although not the cheapest or the quickest completion time of the quotes we received, John seemed the most committed to doing a high-quality job and obviously knew what he was doing. We have not been disappointed. From the start of the job, John was proactive in his communication and quick to highlight unexpected problems that would slow him down or increase the cost of the project. John was also very tolerant and accommodating with extra things that cropped up that needed to be done, or in some cases, redone. For example, he finished painting the walls in the master bedroom only for us to discover we suddenly needed to make a hole in the wall to provide access to pipes in the adjoining bathroom. This meant John needed to fix the wall with an access panel and repaint the whole area again. John was very good natured about all of that, which was such a relief. Throughout the house, John’s work was thorough and precise and the quality was excellent. No shortcuts anywhere. John was a pleasure to work with, trustworthy, reliable and a hard worker. I expect to hire John again for many other jobs in the future.

I wanted my front door painted and was fortunate to hear about this company through friends. The work was finished to a high standard and throughout the time at my home everything was left clean and tidy. I am using the company again for another project and I would happily recommend their services.

John put down a chipboard floor in my attic. He did an excellent job and I can now safely use the attic for extra storage. John is precise, professional, polite, tidy and very helpful and I can wholeheartedly recommend him. He assembled lots of furniture for my son and created a safe playground in the garden for my grandchildren. A safe and skilled pair of hands.

They decorated the external rendering on my home 12 years ago and it was still good. However, due to other external works, I wanted it done again. Work completed to a very high standard. Prompt and within specified timescale. I have recommended them to others.

Mr. John Lewis of Headley, Hampshire, has recently completed an extensive redecorating job for us. We are delighted. Not only is his paintwork of the very highest standard but he also conducted the job throughout in the most professional manner. No wonder he has passed your strict scrutiny. He scores 5 out of 5 with us.
