Bryad Decorating Services

I have used Bryad Services several times before over a period in excess of ten years. Tim is always tidy, efficient, friendly, courteous and above all honest. He continually communicates so that I always know what to expect and offers help and guidance when and where it's needed. I have no reservations about leaving him to work unattended in my home and I know that the standard of work will be outstanding. Over the years Tim has decorated the living room, kitchen, hallway, landing and stairs and two bedrooms in my home. The high standard ensures that the work stands the test of time and I am assured of an excellent job for a fair price. Impressed by his service and standards, two other members of my family now also use Tim!

I found Tim on Which Trusted traders and can only reiterate the many positive reviews about his quality of work. Tim quoted for painting work in our hall. He arrived on time for the survey and emailed a written quotation. On the day the work was completed on time in a very professional manner and to a high standard. All carpets were protected, any holes in the plaster were filled and the walls were sanded down with a vacuum sander so there was no dust. There was a lot of tight cutting in where the ceiling met a different colour to the wall and the work was perfect. Tim is a delight to have working for you and I have asked him to quote for further work. I have no hesitation in highly recommending him, based on the highly professional standard he achieves.

Tim redecorated our kitchen, walls, woodwork (including bookshelves) and ceiling. His preparation work was meticulous and he did everything possible to resolve issues arising from earlier poor work by others. The results were excellent and the price was very reasonable. Tim worked quietly and unobtrusively and took great care to minimise inconvenience, leaving us each evening with a usable kitchen.

This is the third time Tim has decorated our house having previously decorated both inside and out. This time we had a number of rooms and the stairwell and hall freshened up. Tim’s attention to detail is exemplary, often noticing finer things and making recommendations on what would look best. Tim has a real collaborative approach to his work and throughout kept us updated on progress and plans for each day. He would continue to confirm expectations right down to the finishing detail, to make sure we were completely happy. The result of which is evident in the quality of finish, which is impeccable. Tim is very professional and leaves the room which he’s working often cleaner than it was when he arrived! He is trustworthy and has cheerful nature. Will not be the last time we have Tim decorate - Highly Recommended

Tim was recommended by a family member and I haven't been disappointed. Tim painted my kitchen following a refit, also my hallway, stairs, landing and bathroom. All his work is of a very high standard, the preparation he does before painting ensured an excellent finish. He is professional and knowledgeable about the correct materials for each job. Communication and advice is also very good and willingly given. It has been a pleasure having Tim in my home, any mess is kept to a minimum and he cleaned up at the end of each day. Considering the amount of work carried out and to such a high standard, he is very good value. I will definitely be using him again and happy to recommend Tim to family and friends.

This was the second time I'd asked Tim to do some decorating for us, which I guess is a recommendation in itself. This time I asked Tim to paint some cupboards and also our kitchen. As before, his work is of a high standard and he works very carefully. He's a helpful, pleasant and easy person to have around the house, and also very tidy, always clearing up before he finished for the day. I'd highly recommend Tim and have already asked him to quote for another job.

A ceiling previously repaired by a builder had cracked and flaked. As Tim has worked for me before and I know the high quality of his work, I asked him to look at the ceiling. Tim explained what he would do to rectify the problem, and kept me updated throughout the work. Tim's honesty, very careful preparation (he spotted cracks I hadn't noticed), knowledge of his trade and of the various materials he could use to repair the cracks make his work stand out. He also replaced a broken light fitting for no extra charge, so that the room is now fully fit for use again. The work was completed to the agreed schedule and budget. As always, Tim worked tidily and hoovered up thoroughly afterwards, and is pleasant to have in the house. The ceiling and coving now look as good as new and I am delighted with Tim's work.

I’ve used Tim in the past, he’s very good, so called him back to paint my grandsons’ bedroom. Excellent work done. Very friendly and tidy.

Tim Billson of Bryad Decorating Services recently carried out the exterior painting of our house. Tim meticulously filled every crack in the render, of which there were many. It was also a relief to see that he took great care to protect windows and rain pipes from paint splashes. We were very happy with Tim's work and recommend him highly.

Having done some internal decoration for me earlier this year, Tim returned to paint the outside of my house. Neighbours have commented favourably on Tim's good work and how much better my house now looks. I am sure this is in part because Tim first prepares all surfaces carefully. Tim painted roughcast walls and wooden panelling. Tim also painted a peeling white wooden external cupboard door both inside and out, together with the exterior of a very dirty white gas meter cupboard, so that the whole exterior now looks pristine. Tim also stained a panelled wooden front door beautifully, achieving a smooth even finish despite years of wear, having first removed the brass fittings where possible. Tim finished within his planned schedule and his invoice was less than his original quotation because some of the work originally quoted for turned out not to be possible at present e.g. the rendering first needs to be repaired before it can be painted. Tim is helpful and easy to discuss things with, and I have no hesitation in recommending him.
