Bryad Decorating Services

Tim did a fantastic job of papering our hallway and stairs. The walls were prepped to perfection, thermal paper applied solidly and the final lining and filling left a faultless finish. Also a really nice guy and always happy to be flexible about days and times working. Would definitely use again.

Tim painted the exterior of our house including window masonry surrounds, window frames, downpipes, front door and carried out minor repairs to fascia and soffit boards as necessary. He started the project exactly when he said he would. He carried out high quality, diligent work. We're really pleased with the outcome.

After some 55 years of DIY decorating, I was persuaded by the family to let someone take the strain on this project. A friend recommended Tim. He provided a full written quotation and I was delighted with the quality of his work. He discussed issues and how he proposed to deal with each phase of the work. The high quality of the finished paintwork and wallpapering resulted from his meticulous preparatory work. He was tidy, as unobtrusive as possible and I had no qualms about leaving him in the house unattended. He works on his own and this ensures that all phases of the work are carried out to Tim’s own high standards.

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.

Tim has just finished painting all the ceilings, walls and paintwork in my one bedroom flat. He is a perfectionist and therefore does a very good job. Importantly, he is also helpful and respectful of the fact that he is in your home. He checks things with you at each stage and always leaves things clean and tidy afterwards, all much appreciated. Highly recommended.

He always listens to my requests, and does his best to meet them .. Any room that he works in , is left clean and tidy at the end of the day, He is polite thoughtful and trustworthy ..

I asked Tim to paint our hallway, stairs, landing and bathroom. Tim's communication before and during the job was very good. He works carefully and his work is excellent. He tidied and hoovered before he left every day - in fact I don't think our house has ever looked so clean! Perhaps even more important to me was that Tim was a really nice person to have around. He's considerate, reliable and pleasant and I felt happy leaving him to work while we were out. I've already asked Tim to quote for doing some more work, and would highly recommend him.

Tim has carried out work for us before in our old house, this latest job that he has just completed was to redecorate a room with many existing issues in our new house. Tim advised us and worked with us to get the best result on the room discussing the options and best solutions. The room is now complete and looks amazing. I highly recommend Tim, he is honest, reliable and has an amazingly high standard when it comes to the work he carries out, he is also very clean and tidy. We feel comfortable leaving Tim working in our home when we are not in, there are not many tradesman I can honestly say that about! I have no hesitation in recommending Tim. We will be getting him back later on this year to do some more work in our hallway.

Tim Billson recently painted my lounge, stairway and landing, and I am delighted with the result. Tim listened carefully to what I wanted when I first met him, and gave and kept to a detailed written quotation. He protected my carpets, wooden stairs and furniture before beginning work. Tim tidied up at the end of each day, and hoovered when the work had been completed. He prepared all the areas to be painted very thoroughly, ensuring an outstanding finish everywhere. He was helpful and easy to discuss things with. Tim takes pride in his work, going above and beyond, making suggestions that have significantly improved the overall result. Tim's careful preparation, high standards and attention to detail have ensured work of very high quality. Tim was easy to have in the house, and I was happy to leave him there to work when I went out. Tim is coming back later this year to do some more work for me.

I've been using Tim for almost ten years during which time he has decorated nearly every part of my three bedroom house. He sets himself, and achieves very high standards. He is honest, will not compromise his standards by making false promises and will always highlight any possible issues or drawbacks. His most recent job was the re-decoration of a bedroom where fitted wardrobes and a fireplace had been removed, a ceiling light fitting had been moved and one wall had been damaged by a damp issue. The finished result is truly amazing and no indication of any of these issues can be seen. He has done a fabulous job. He is a clean, considerate and conscientious worker and the only reservation I would have in recommending him to all my friends and family is that he may become too busy to do my own work!!

Initially, Tim was recommended to us 9 years ago and decorated our kitchen, bedroom and hallway and stairs. This time his work included our living room, dining room and office. Everything from his preparation through to the finish and detail he achieves is truly excellent. He is proud of his very high standard and would not jeopardise it by cutting corners. Our work was carried out as per his quote with no mess and we were kept informed throughout. Tim is totally trustworthy and has since been booked by two other family members.

We have been using Tim Billson for the best part of 17 years. He is extremely professional & fastidious about his work. He is polite, amiable & accommodating & reasonably priced.

I have used Tim previously to paint the exterior of my house and the work was completed to a high standard. Based on that experience I had no hesitation in calling him back for this job to paint an external wall bordering our patio. As before the standard and quality of finish could not be faulted; he always goes the extra mile and picks up on the small things that other tradesman would leave. Tim is extremely personable and a joy to work with. I would not look anywhere else for a painter decorator.

Tim Billson is a business man of pleasant personality who is operating a painting and decorating business of exceptional quality. He has recently worked on my house making good where relevant, providing intricate attention to detail, plus excellent paintwork which can be seen as of the highest merit. I sincerely recommend this experienced contractor.

Tim made an excellent job of completely repainting our kitchen, utility room and an under stairs area which we use for additional kitchen space. We were particularly impressed with the time and attention that Tim gave to preparation of the surfaces before starting any painting. The finished job was very impressive. He was also a very pleasant person to have around the house for the days he was with us. His quote for this work was extremely detailed and fair. I am sure that we will be using him again.

Tim efficiently and promptly organises his work schedule and start date. His work is of a high standard and he has painted an office room and a bathroom for us. He is punctual, reliable, courteous and effective. Additionally, the work is carried out at a fair and reasonable rate. No hesitation in recommending his services.

Tim decorated our hall, stairs and landing to the highest standard. His estimate was detailed and he gave helpful advice. He completed everything in a timely and efficient manner and to the agreed price. His attention to detail was outstanding taking the time to repair some minor cracks and repairing minor flaws in the woodwork as well as sanding down the walls and ceiling. His standard of cleanliness was exemplary, with a solid floor covering in the hall and plastic over carpets. He always took time at the end of the day to hoover through and leave everything tidy. Always punctual and good-humoured we felt safe leaving him in the house. We are very pleased with the final result and will certainly use him for any future work. We have recommended Tim to our neighbour and he is working on painting their new kitchen and utility room.

Tim Billson has recently decorated our bedroom .. His work is as always to the highest standard .. He is a very clean worker, Tim is polite , considerate , and keeps within budget.. He is always ready to help and advise. I can leave Tim in my house knowing I can trust him..

Only a small decorating job this time but the same professional standard we have come to expect from Tim. We use him for all of our internal and exterior decorating jobs and he has never let us down. Nothing is too much trouble. Excellent Caring Work. Highly Recommended.

Tim's service was first rate. He was punctual every morning, worked conscientiously and effectively to complete an excellent job and the room now looks so much better. Tim took time to repair paintwork issues before proceeding. Very pleased with his work.

Tim has painted and wallpapered our living room. He’s highly professional in his methods and pays expert attention to detail. Tim covers all surfaces to protect floorways and furniture and uses equipment to reduce dust when sanding. His preparation is of the highest standard, smoothing walls and making repairs before applying paint and paper. Great tradesman and highly recommended.

Tim has carried out lots of work on the inside and outside of our house for many years now. We have always been extremely happy with the high standard of his work. He is very professional, trustworthy and reliable. Always happy to recommend Tim.

We have used Tim on many previous occasions for many years. He always does an excellent job. This project was to decorate the exterior walls and paintwork of our 1950's bungalow. This was not a straight forward job and threw up various problems all of which Tim happily dealt with. We could not be more pleased with the final result. Tim always does an excellent job, cost effectively and tidily and just as importantly is a pleasure to have in your home. Very highly recommended.
