David carried out the preparation work and painting of my 1 bedroom flat for a fair price. The work was performed to a very high standard with attention to detail. Communication from David was brilliant throughout and he was very punctual. I would recommend David’s services to anyone.

David painted my newly purchased flat. From the start I could see he was very engaged and detailed in his initial examination, more so than other decorators. His work product was good and I would recommend him!

David has painted several rooms in our house of varying sizes including sitting room, bedrooms and bathroom. The finish is always very good and David provides helpful advice regarding paint and materials. He is always very punctual and starts early in the day, gets on with the work thoroughly but also quietly and always completes the work on time and on budget. I once changed my mind about woodwork colour and asked him to over-paint a dark colour with a lighter colour requiring several coats and he didn’t grumble at all. I will undoubtedly use David again in the future.

David recently helped paint a two-bedroom flat and the whole experience was excellent. Great communication, always kept me updated as to progress, and gave much appreciated and needed advice on the choice of colour/paints/other decorative aspects. The painting job was completed well ahead of time, and to a very high quality - the whole flat looks so much more fresh and new. David also left the flat really clean and neat. David also helped run through my options in relation to my balcony/kitchens/doors, and it was great to hear the opinion of such an experienced decorator. Would highly recommend!

David came to us through a recommended by a friend and we are extremely pleased that he did. His response and quote were speedy and he was able to start promptly. Our one bedroom flat has been tenanted for a number of years and looked it. David did a great job of repairing damage to the walls and woodwork, painting it and restoring it to its former glory in double-quick time. As we do not live at the property we did not see the work until we came to look on the final day and were absolutely delighted by the result (and lack of mess) Recommended without hesitation as an excellent, reliable, honest and thoroughly competent tradesman all at a price that was more than reasonable. Thank you David :-)

David painted three rooms for us, and did the job beautifully. He was easy to communicate with from the start, gave useful advice, and was completely reliable. He turned up like clockwork every day, wasn't juggling our job with any others, and left the place as tidy as humanly possible when he'd finished. David's initial quote was very reasonable, and when I asked for some changes to the work he amended it quickly. He is a skilled painter and decorator, and a pleasure to deal with.

David recently redecorated my living room - this was the second decorating job he'd done for me. His quote was competitive. He was flexible about the start date for the job, which I asked to change by a day. As stated by other reviewers, he arrived promptly and reliably every day and finished the work within the planned timescale. He has a great knowledge of paints, he produced a very good finish, and he was amazingly clean and tidy in his work.

We chose David Neall Decorating after shortlisting three firms. The job consisted of the complete internal redecoration of my daughter's 2 bed apartment in Bermondsey, south east London. It is hard to find any fault with the way David has handled our project. He has been reliable, his pricing is very fair and the work was done to a high standard. He was neat and tidy, he provided useful advice about paint makes and types and he completed the work a little ahead of schedule. We have enjoyed working with David and have no hesitation in recommending him.

We've now hired David for 3 jobs since we moved into our victorian terrace house. He is a true craftsman and knows his trade inside out. The standard of the finish is impeccable. During the job he is very neat and tidies up around the workspace to keep disruption in the house to a minimum. I have no hesitation in recommending him as a trusted trader. We'll definitely be asking to do further work on the house again.

David first decorated my house in 2002 and I thought he did such a good job that he's the only decorator that I've used since. He has recently redecorated my kitchen, bathroom, hall, stairs and landing and, as ever, his work is of a very high standard and the finish is immaculate. David is extremely reliable - always arrives on time and completes the job within the timescale he's quoted for. He is methodical in his work and is tidy and well organised. He keeps me up to date with what he's planning to do each day and is a great source of advice on colours and design - and is always up to date with the latest products. David is friendly and courteous and delivers a great service with the minimum of disruption. I highly recommend him.

David painted the interior of our house a couple years ago. David was very engaged and gave good advice on choices of paint brand and colour combinations. David was particularly knowledgeable in this area and clearly cared that we got the finish we wanted. David works methodically and quietly and delivers a good job. We have invited David round for subsequent work and kindly offered to paint our bathroom ceiling at no extra cost. David will be the first person we call for any future work.

David did some painting for me in May/June 2013. I have never hired a painter before and was in too much of a rush (having just moved house) to get competing quotes

We hired David through Which Local to re-paint our entire flat, including ceilings, doors, sash windows and skirting. David was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. After coming to visit our property, within 24 hours he had provided us with a quote and started work a week later. I have never known a decorator to work so quietly and cleanly. he even turned up with his own vacuum and cleaned the windows after they had been painted. He is punctual, reliable, clean, well priced and very good at what he does. We are thrilled with the end result. Thank you for all your advice along the way. A true professional and comes highly recommended. Thank you David

We recently employed David to repaint our hall, lounge and landing - after we had a disaster with another decorator. The difference was incredible at all stages! David was pleasant, meticulous, tidy and consistently helpful. He pays attention to detail and achieved a high quality finish. We are extremely satisfied with David's work and will only be using him for our decorating in future.

David painted my entire flat just before Christmas. He was able to fit the work in at fairly short notice, and gave a lot of great advice when it came to colours. He was also very patient and understanding when an initial colour choice didn't look as I'd expected when it was on the wall. I got a few quotes, and his was the most reasonable. I also liked that it included everything such as paint and other materials (he even said "I don't charge any extras"). He is methodical and the end result was therefore very good. You can get the work done more quickly (i.e. in fewer days) elsewhere - but having the whole job done by the one person who you met at quote time is a huge plus for me. It was certainly worth the job taking a few extra days. He was considerate, working around my schedule, and he tidied up after himself. I would certainly recommend him.

I got David Neall to repaint the external masonry and woodwork of a Victorian house. He works alone, so I needed to organise scaffolding, which was no big deal. His estimate was competitive. he provided a full written quote, and did the work within the time he said and within the quote - even adding some extras in for free, like brightening up the external gas meter cupboards and bits like that. On top of that he worked tidily and was polite, friendly and approachable. And I'm pleased with the final result. I'd certainly go back to him for future jobs that come up.

David is an old-fashioned craftsman who won't rest until the job is perfect. Totally reliable, painstaking attention to preparation (surely the secret of a good paint job?) full of helpful advice and ideas that might not have occurred to the customer, and eminently reasonably priced. He's done all our bedrooms and will be invited back to do the hall and downstairs in due course. Originally recommended by our architect, otherwise we probably wouldn't have searched so far afield (we're North London) -but very glad that we did!
