Capital Painters

Matt is very professional and thorough and always does a truly great job. I highly recommend him for any decorating in your home

Matt came to do some exterior work for me for the second time. The standard of his work is exemplary. He believes that the time spent in careful preparation leads to long lasting results and I can see he will absolutely stand by his own principles when asked to do a job. His communication is not to be faulted, explaining how things were going as he went along, e.g. I had quite a bit of rot in my window sills where there were different options as to how to proceed. He made sure he talked these through with me. Matt is also very flexible and responded to my wish to add an extra piece of work to his original remit and to prioritise the order of the work to take account of my life events. It was very easy to have Matt around - he is just very focused on the job. I had no issue with him having keys to come and go as he needed. He would always clean/ tidy up at the end of the day. I think the most important thing for me was a feeling of trust, both in the standard of the work and the belief that Matt would bring anything untoward to my attention and that we could problem solve the situation.

Matt provided an excellent service, decorating three tired looking rooms: a bathroom and two bedrooms which hasn’t been decorated in a very long time. Quality of the work is excellent and I’m very pleased. Matt provided very good advice throughout, was flexible, communication was great, did the job on time and was a really clean and neat worker so easy to have in the house. Highly recommend Matt and his company.

Matt and Kevin did a great job in decorating our Kensington terrace house front and back walls included. Preparation was meticulous and we feel it will last a long time. What was particularly good was the close relation with the scaffolding company so that we were not left with scaffolding for weeks after the job was completed. In erecting the scaffolding a front step was damaged and Matt made sure that a repair was effected satisfactorily. We had obtained another quote which was much the same as Matt's but we went with Matt's due to the positive reviews on this site.

From the start to the finish, Capital Painters has been responsive, knowledgeable, truly helpful and utterly reliable. He has always been a pleasure to deal with. We have a two bedroom flat which is filled with delicate antique furniture. We escaped to Cornwall for the two weeks; reassuringly, they contacted me about three times to ensure he was doing as we wanted. Whilst we packed up contents to make moving the furniture easier, the team did a terrific job: the furniture was looked after, the painting is excellent and all finished on time. He has had the courtesy to check and double check that we are satisfied. We HIGHLY recommend Capital Painters to do a professional job and would DEFINITELY ask him again - though he’s done so well it should last for years!

Matt and his team from Capital Painters did a fantastic job repairing and painting the exterior walls, windows and doors of our four storey Georgian house. From the initial quoting process through to the final brush stroke they were a pleasure to deal with. Their work was thorough, professional and to a very high standard. Matt kept us informed of all aspects of the job, especially when it came to repairing the old, rotten window frames which they repaired and restored beautifully. They showed great flexibility in dealing with our constantly changing plans/schedule and delivered a property we can once again be very proud of! Well done!

Matt redecorated my flat after a recent fire caused some smoke damage, which included sealing walls, and repainting walls and ceilings. Having received a few unpersonalised quotes from other traders, I was impressed how honest and upfront Matt was, including advising me on options which ultimately ended up reducing the quoted price! His work was great, cleaned up afterwards after, and I would have no hesitation to appoint him again.

The best external decoration I have witnessed in many projects over 50 years. Most importantly, Matt surveyed the rear of our 3 storey house in detail to identify all weak points requiring repair. He did not paint over the top of the faults as has happened in the past. He repaired inaccessible rotten woodwork and pointing with what I considered was exceptional commitment. It goes without saying that the preparation and paintwork were very good, as were the punctuality, cost/ budget control, tidiness, cleanliness and site maintenance. The business process was handled very professionally from first visit and quotation through to invoicing and this process was supported by excellent communication and, I have to say, charm!

I found Matt/Capital Painters on Which? Trusted Traders so had hopes of good service and quality workmanship. Pleased to report that I wasn’t disappointed at all. The job was to repaint the front of 4 floor large terrace house in Brooke Green W14. Building is divided into flats and we manage maintenance ourselves. I got 2 quotes - Matts was competitive and provided quickly and with appropriate level of detail. Then the lockdown hit and I have to say Matt was superb in maintaining dialogue and flexibility as we worked out if/when the works could proceed. Matt organised scaffolding (I then paid their invoice directly) and then did a great job working solo to observe rules. Other flat owners complimented Matt on working efficiently and unobtrusively - tidying up carefully each day was a nice touch and appreciated. Work was completed as expected and to budget quoted. We communicated regularly from start to finish of the project, and I found Matt quick to respond and courteous in all communications. I’ve already asked Matt to quote for further works!
