What a find Chris is.
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.

Meticulous
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.

An Amazing and Professional Job by Chris Roach
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 !

another brilliant job by 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.

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.

Great work and finish
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.

Painting of kitchen and lounge
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...

Honest decorator with amazing attention to detail. Best experience ever.
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.

Impressive work
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!

Fantastic job - Brilliant workmanship!
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.

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.

Another great job
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.

A thorough professional with a capital P.
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.
