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.

Peter and Carol, Thank you for your kind and generous review. I always strive to give my customers the best service I possibly can. You were both very helpful clearing firstly the perimeter of external area of conservatory so i could access all areas with ease and secondly the whole of the internal area so i could reach high, awkward areas on my tower without the worry of damage below or obstacles in my way. It's been a pleasure working at you house and i look forward to starting lounge and then staircase when it's safe to work in normal conditions.
Excellent work!

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.

I won’t name you as your review is anonymous but thank you for your wonderful review. I think your taste in wallpaper has made my work look very good although the pattern on the bedroom paper nearly blinded me :) It’s a pleasure to work in your home and I look forward to coming back as soon as required. Thank you. 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.

Dear Penny, thank you for your kind review. It was apparent from our first conversation that your brothers’ welfare was most important to you. I’m happy we fulfilled our promise to you that we would get the work done on time and with the minimum of fuss and inconvenience to your brother whist maintaining our usual standard of work.

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.

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.

A great find and result all round.
