Chris Roach Limited

Chris decorated our through lounge, he listened to what we required was always on time, friendly and efficient. We are very pleased with the work carried out. A neat and tidy worker who takes a pride in his work. Would thoroughly recommend.

Chris recently redecorated a bedroom for us. He was meticulous with his preparation and papering/painting and the final result is wonderful. So happy that we found him and would definitely use him again and recommend him to anyone 100%. Thanks again Chris!

Chris has been decorating my house for over 25years. His work is always of the highest standard. On this occasion he re painted my lounge/dining room. As always he took time to protecting my floors and furniture before beginning the work, also ensuring my lounge was usable every evening, moving the sofa back and reconnecting the tv, nothing is too much trouble. He has done a fantastic job and I am extremely pleased with the results. He is always professional, friendly, and completely trustworthy, I give him a key in case I’m out. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him

I recently employed Chris to redecorate my living room. He was professional, reliable and trustworthy, as well as fairly priced. I am very pleased with the result and would definitely use him again in the future. Thanks Chris!

Chris kindly quoted me for full decoration of both bedrooms in my flat. He gave a clear outline of what work might be needed given the current condition, what his quote included and a timescale. He was also able to connect me with a local joiner to create wardrobe doors that would be ready for his agreed start date. The work was completed within the expected timeframe and budget, and the finish is beautiful. I appreciated his guidance on how to tackle problems with the walls, which he worked very hard to resolve. Throughout the two weeks I was very happy to leave him to it but we also had a great rapport. He was very respectful of my home and always left his equipment neat and tidy. We've discussed future works - I would choose Chris to return due to the ease of the experience of working with him and theexcellent quality of his work. Thanks, Chris!

We have used Chris a number of times now having seen the many positive reviews on this website and have never been disappointed. Chris is very reliable, trustworthy (he decorated several rooms while we went away on holiday), very clean, tidy and is an excellent decorator. He takes a lot of pride and trouble over his work which results in a high quality finish. As an example of his attention to detail we had our staircase refurbished in oak but couldn’t find prefinished internal doors that we liked and that matched the staircase finish. Chris took away a sample of the oak veneer and was able to find a varnish that produced a very good match. We then purchased unfinished doors which Chris decorated. We were delighted with the result. If you are looking for a decorator you should definitely consider Chris Roach.

Chris arranged the redecoration of our downstairs and upstairs hallway and stairwell (preparing walls and woodwork, lining paper, painting). Both he and Sorin, who carried out the work, were a pleasure to deal with, great communication throughout the process, lots of good suggestions to improve the finish and very reliable. Everything was completed on time and on budget. They were punctual, tidy, unobtrusive and respectful. The quality of the work definitely exceeded my expectations and I would be very confident to recommend them.

I called Chris, my trusty decorator, to rectify water damage in my hallway. This involved cutting back part of a lath and plaster ceiling and replacing it with plasterboard and plastering over to make the joins seamless. Additionally part of a plasterboard wall, coving and a few drops of water damaged wallpaper needed replacing. All this repair work has been done perfectly and totally seamlessly and no one would know there had ever been any damage. Before work started Chris protected the existing non damaged wallpaper with wall protector attached to coving and the carpet with dust sheets and a carpet protector. Chris is so careful and pays attention to detail you can relax knowing nothing else will be damaged or marked in the process. He is very organised and exceptionally clean and tidy. He is a thoroughly nice guy and an amazing decorator - the best. I really cannot recommend him highly enough. Sue Moody Pinner

We chose Chris Roach to completely redecorate our aged kitchen, having seen the positive reviews on this website. What a great decision. He, and his colleagues, have completely transformed a tired and aging kitchen into something that is light and modern, whilst still fitting in to our 1930’s house. The care taken, and quality of the result, are exceptional. Superb, we are really pleased. I would thoroughly recommend Chris Roach.

I found Chris Roach after reading the very favourable recommendations left on this website and having benefited hugely from those reviews, am now only too pleased to leave my own review following excellent service received. I contacted Chris after another tradesman had let us down; in essence, Chris had to salvage a bit of a mess for us and to short order. Chris’ communications were excellent, he turned up on time and when he said he would, proved himself to be an outstanding decorator, hard-working, conscientious and, above all, his services were to the highest order. We are delighted to have found such an excellent tradesman, top class.

Chris dealt with one wall of my house that had suffered from penetrating damp when rain leaked through window frames where the seal had broken. He replastered and painted the interior of the wall, and then fixed the cracks and repainted the exterior of the wall, ensuring that the window frames were weatherproof. I am so pleased with the result. Everything was done to a very high standard, and the disruption was minimal. Chris and his workers left everything clean and tidy. Without exception they were all so pleasant and I really recommend this company.

Chris did a delicate job on repairing and repainting our ceiling. Chris was very diligent in his preparation and work. A very pleasant person who communicates well and is obviously very proud of his work. He also is punctual and delivers on his words. Would I recommend him? Yes, yes and yes again! The guy is a star!

One wall in my living room needed replastering after penetrating damp from a broken window frame. Chris gave me good advice and a sensible quote, and that, combined with reviews, helped me make my decision. I am very glad. The plastering was done quickly, to a very high standard, and without any mess. Then the wall was repainted, again without unnecessary disturbance and the room was left tidy afterwards. I am very happy with the result and I am going to ask Chris to repaint the external wall for added peace of mind. I am confident he will do a good job. He is very helpful and pleasant to deal with, and I recommend him.

I have used Chris to decorate my house for approximately 6 years. I am fussy and particular about the standard and quality of work undertaken in my house and Chris always does an outstanding job - I have also recommended him to several of my friends who are equally impressed. He is extremely helpful and nothing is too much trouble for him. He is a lovely and trustworthy guy and I have no hesitation leaving him alone in my house whilst I am out. He is a lucky find and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

We have used Chris before and found his work excellent so asked him back to organise the redecoration of 5 rooms and our wooden staircase. The job was done to a very high specification and we are very pleased with the excellent results. The decorator was helpful in making suggestions and pointing out any issues along the way. Any extras were always discussed and agreed beforehand and there were no hidden costs. The house was always left tidy. The perfect job!

We asked Chris back to decorate our TV room after the excellent job he did to our Hall, Stairs and Landing. Once again his work was excellent and cannot express how pleased we are with the superb finish. He is an excellent workman, always on time, attention to detail is second to none. Cannot recommend him highly enough.

Chris came highly recommended to us. We liked his approach from the start and decided to go ahead. We were not disappointed. He wallpapered our hall, stairs and landing which looks fantastic. His attention to detail is second to none. He is meticulous in his preparation, cares about your property, goes out of his way to help and nothing seems too much trouble. He is a very friendly person who gets on with the job and we would not hesitate to recommend him.

Chris has worked with us now over a number of years. What stands out is how he takes care of your property whilst working with you ensuring floors etc are protected. He is meticulous from start to finish. His preparation is exceptional, this particular job required extensive preparation washing down and stripping back of multiple kitchen components before the multiple treatments were applied to the maple. The finish on the renovated kitchen units is exquisite and well worth the time. The balance of the kitchen and large attached dayroom was also given the same careful decorate. Chris knows his trade and is well informed on current products and those best applied on your particular project. He provides written estimates detailing exactly the scope of the works and invoices you accordingly. He is very considerate of the running of your family home and adapts his work routines accordingly. Chris is our decorator of choice and we would highly recommend him.

We have used Chris for our decorating needs for over 20 years now. He has always done a fantastic job for us. This time, Chris repainted the ceiling after a leak in the bathroom above had badly stained it, painted the kitchen walls which are now as good as the day the kitchen was fitted, painted the bathroom ceiling and finally added a feature wall to the bedroom. The feature wall looks fantastic and he made hanging a tricky beaded wallpaper look easy! The house is always left clean and tidy and he even knows to make sure our indoor cat doesn't get out ! We would highly recommend Chris, he's fantastic.

Chris has spent the past 10 months with us and we couldn’t be more pleased with how our home is looking. He has repainted all the rooms in the existing house, filling cracks and making repairs along the way to make each room as good as new and then decorated the new extension. He is super tidy, reliable, careful and takes great pride in his work. He is very easy to work with and nothing is too much trouble. Would not hesitate to recommend Chris.

Chris was recommended to me by a friend who couldn’t speak more highly of him. I can see why. Chris has done a couple of small painting jobs for me, before totally redecorating my bedroom and back room. Obviously, having my bedroom ‘out of action’ was going to be disruptive, but Chris was willing to do whatever was necessary to minimise this, to the point of putting up my sofa bed in the back room. He is meticulous in the detail and the neatest of decorators I have come across. Always tidying up before leaving each evening. The standard of his work could’t be bettered. Paintwork and Wall papering fantastic. It so reassuring to know that I have found a brillant, honest decorator like Chris who you wouldn’t hesitate to leave alone in the flat whilst you pop out. He goes above and beyond what you would expect him to do. (He even put up blackout screens on my bedroom window as I’m waiting for curtains to be made). What a find Chris is.

We employed Chris to redecorate our hall, stairs and landing which were in rather a poor state. From stripping off the old paint encrusted anaglypta wallpaper right through to the re-painting of the walls and woodwork Chris did a great job. We are very pleased with the resulting transformation.

We were lucky enough to secure Chris' time to decorate our little Son's bedroom in September. The bedroom really needed it and had a lot of water damage and defects and so we were really looking forward to Chris decorating for us and making the room look new again. We were not disappointed! Chris did an amazing job! We were, and still, are absolutely delighted with the finish of our Son's bedroom. Chris is brilliant at what he does and his attention to detail is second to none. He is a true craftsman. We never want to use the services of another decorator again - we only want Chris to decorate the rest of our house! Chris is polite , friendly , professional and a pleasure to have in your home and he makes the whole decorating process stress free. Thank you Chris !

The fifth job Chris has now done for us, all to the same superb standard. We appreciate Chris's professionalism and were very reassured by his attention to Covid restrictions while working in our house. Having stripped the old embossed wallpaper and arranged for an excellent plasterer to re-skim the ceiling, Chris has created beautifully smooth painted walls and ceiling. The painting of the woodwork is also second to none. Chris took great care to protect the oak floor and a sofa that could not be removed from the room, leaving the room immaculately clean at the end of the job. Chris is an excellent decorator who we would highly recommend.

Chris wallpapered a fireplace and feature wall for us. Excellent workmanship, professional attitude throughout, especially important working with COVID restrictions. Would wholeheartedly recommend.

This is the second job Chris has undertaken for me. This time it was my lounge, in time for Christmas. Fantastic transformation! Chris is totally reliable, always happy to discuss ideas. He puts such care and attention into a job, my walls were not in the best condition, they look amazing now. Will be using Chris again in the New year. Highly recommend him.

Chris decorated my lounge and bedroom, both painting and papering, he did a fantastic job, the finish is really good. Even now I look at the painting which Chris did with a roller and wonder how he is able to achieve a flat finish with none of the usual stipple and roller effect. In relation to time keeping and tidiness, there were no issues with either, Chris arrived as agreed and left everything clean and tidy at the end of the day. I thoroughly recommend Chris and would definitely use him in the future.

The recent painting of my kitchen and lounge was conducted in a very thorough and professional manner by Chris's painters. The work was conducted to a very high standard on schedule and at the pre-agreed price. Chris was very helpful and easy to communicate with and I have no doubt in recommending his company to anyone considering future house painting.

His third job for us, Chris has done a fantastic job on our dining room. The paint finish is superb with beautiful crisp straight edges, and his attention to detail is top notch once again - even 'dressing' the screws in the doorplate and sockets! We look forward to his return next month to work his magic on our kitchen...

Trustworthy....reliable and works to a very high standard. A perfectionist. I am very happy with the work done by Chris and would recommend and use again. My house has never looked so good.

We asked Chris to quote on decorating few rooms in the house. He responded quickly and came round for a site visit shortly after our enquiry. He was very courteous and took his time to take us through what needed to be done. In addition his quote was very competitive and returned to us promptly. As soon as work started Chris and his team made a huge effort to ensure that there was as little disruption as possible inside our home; laying down dust sheets at all times and taking great care with moving materials and equipment around. Chris worked very quickly and cleanly with minimal mess. The job was completed well within the projected time frame and agreed quote. Chris really went above and beyond to make the experience as easy as possible for us while doing an exceptional job. I would not hesitate in recommending Chris decorating services. He is polite, friendly, efficient, tidy and do an incredible job with phenomenal attention to details. He has completed more jobs for us since and become a very trusted friend. Thank you.

Chris was recommended to us by a friend when we were looking to redecorate our hall and dining room, but when lockdown was imposed we commissioned him to repaint our conservatory exterior then the interior, which could be accessed without entering the house. The standard of Chris' work, his punctuality and dedication to putting in a full day were impressive. The dining room is already on Chris' to-do list and we hope that he will be able to do the hall when lockdown is sufficiently eased. Best decorator we have ever found, would not hesitate to recommend him to our other friends.

I was looking for a decorator for my elderly disabled mother’s flat and really glad that I found Chris through this website. I would thoroughly recommend Chris for his help and advice, especially for situations that need an added layer of kind consideration. He was incredibly empathetic, and really took time to listen and understand our needs. His work was not only done to an exceptional standard, it was done in a timely, professional and efficient manner. It is rare to find such a genuine trustworthy person who will go the extra mile and deliver to the upmost satisfaction!

Used Chris for the first time (found him on this website!) to decorate my dining room, extension and kitchen. Chris is totally professional and reliable, from first meeting, sending the quote, providing colour charts and finding a gap to fit the job in before Christmas. He even found the electrician I used to remove old light fittings and other electrical work that needed doing. I absolutely love the quality of the paint Chris suggested and am so pleased with the high standard of work, it looks amazing! My whole house needs a makeover, will definitely be using Chris again and again in 2020! No hesitation in recommending Chris.

Chris was recommended to me. I am a perfectionist myself and so I expect high standards and Chris certainly doesn't disappoint. His work is superb and he is thorough, honest and a lovely guy. He is happy to do a job whether it be big or small. I feel lucky to have found such an excellent decorator and have no hesitation in recommending him so long as he is available when I need him again!

Numerous reviews here describe the excellent standard of work and I agree with that completely. But I want to thank Duncan for his friendly, relaxed & comfortable approach to his customer who was a vulnerable older adult. Having someone who did not make my brother feel uncomfortable was almost more important than the quality of the work done. Duncan stepped in as Chris was busy and I can highly recommend him as a skilled professional but also someone who is a pleasure to have around. Thank you.

Over the last few months Chris has returned to repaint our two staircases, two landings and our ground floor hall. As it was a large job it was split into three visits. As ever Chris was meticulous about preparing surfaces for painting. He also was not phased by our request to leave the Wm Morris wallpaper untouched and did a magnificent job in covering it up and did not drop a spot of paint on it. We are very pleased with the final result.

Several fiddly jobs around the house including making good door frames (after new internal doors replaced), fixing damp damaged walls and repairing cracked coving. Some decorators might find any one of these jobs too small to bother with. Chris did a splendid job, on time and with minimum disruption and very good price. We will be using him again to paint house exterior come spring.

The work including painting and wallpapering my hall, landing, kitchen and all bedrooms as well as some outdoor work and lobby area. Everything has been done to an exceptionally high standard of workmanship. Communication was excellent throughout the process and the work has been completed in accordance with the budget agreed. I am absolutely delighted with the result and the quality of the finish, and have no hesitation in recommending this company.

Chris Roach has just decorated a bedroom for us. We are delighted with the result. Chris is meticulous, diligent and hard working. Due to his vast experience and care at the preparation stage he achieves a thoroughly professional finish. He is courteous and helpful and a pleasure to know. We have already arranged for him to do further work for us and we would have no hesitation in recommending him. Russell & Lesley Harrow

I used Chris to redecorate my hallway, removing the previous wallpaper and installing a new one. He also painted a number of internal doors. Chris completed the job on budget and within the agreed time frame. The job was of a high standard and he works in a very tidy manner. The result looks great. I anticipate using Chris again in the future.

My wife and I have nothing to say but lavish praise for Chris Roach who proved to be meticulous, disciplined and very orderly when he decorated our lounge, kitchen and newly built extension. A thorough Professional who can be trusted to be left to get on with the job in hand. He set a schedule at the beginning of the contract and kept to to it. The budget agreed at the commencement of our job was met exactly, we were hit with no surprise additional amounts. His superb decorating skills and trust worthiness will be cause for us to invite back Chris in the Spring of 2019 to decorate two of our bedrooms. Chris is a Master of his trade, it was a pleasure to have him in our home, he did a great job for us and we thank him for it. We have no hesitation in recommending Chris Roach, a consummate professional.

I'd highly recommend Chris Roach. He was pleasant, flexible and did a very high quality job. I was particularly impressed at his attention to detail - repairing problems that we hadn't even discussed.

Chris has been decorating my house inside and out for nearly 20 years; this year he has done two rooms indoors. His work is excellent, he is prompt and trustworthy and he comes when he says he will. Highly recommended but do book early!

Chris has now decorated the whole house, most recently giving the kitchen a facelift. Professional, prompt and trustworthy, thoroughly recommended. Book now to avoid disappointment!
