Redocarating Hall, Stsirs and Landing plus New Internal Doors
Customer Service

Value
The service received from ESK was polite and professional from start to finish. We were looking for a good quailty decorator to redecorate our hall, stairs and landing as well as all of our internal doors that had just been replaced, with all labour and materials included in a fixed price. Following an initial visit to site to talk through the scope of works, we received a detailed quote with a fixed price and the reassurance of 14 day payment terms once completed with zero upfront deposit. Having accepted the quote, the work was scheduled a few weeks ahead and I was contacted a few days prior to check and confirm the start date was still ok. The team arrived on time with Steve who explained the scope and they quickly got to work, fully protecting all floors and surfaces prior to preparing and painting. The quality of work was of a high standard and the team were always polite, professional and respectful. All works were completed ahead of schedule and remedial works were quickly attended to. We are very happy with the end result and would highly recommend Steve and his team to others with a similar need.

All doors and skirting boards painted white (previously dark pine). The team were excellent; very polite and quite and worked around me in the house without major disruption or mess. The business owner came over 2 or 3 time to check on progress and the quality of the work. The final finish was excellent and some minor missed sections were completed the day after my call. They even gave me a discount on the final price compared to the agreed quote

External repair and redecoration

My property required external redecoration and some minor repairs. Areas covered: fascia and soffits, windows, and cladding. I am a retired engineer, and my main consideration when looking for a contractor is the quality of the work carried out. The communication was first-class before and during the work. All the employees are polite and happy to discuss the processes. The work is neat and tidy, and the resin wood repairs are outstanding. Happy to recommend and will no doubt use again in the future.

Painting of external woodwork including a garden office and renovation of bifold and garage doors. During the initial quotation, Steve made helpful suggestions for the job , and both Adam and Daniel were friendly and efficient in delivering an excellent quality finish. The work overran a couple of days due to weather delays during which I was kept informed of their schedule. I would certainly recommend ESK.

Adam and Dan did a fantastic job on the exterior and interior project just finished. They were always on time, diligent, extremely tidy and a delight to work with. Their attention to detail is second to none. Steve manages the jobs and communicates with us throughout, from the initial review and quotation to the end of the job. No request is too small. We’ve used ESK ever since moving here nearly 20 years ago and are always impressed with their outstanding skills and expertise. They’ve decorated the interior over three floors, especially brightening up the stairwells with custom paint, done exterior painting, staining, wrought iron work, fence painting, and applied protective coatings to the front of the house which is exposed to full sun, wind and rain. Their attention to detail is second to none. Each time they finish it’s like we’re in a brand new house again. We’ve had strangers come to the door to ask who paints our house. That’s how much their quality work stands out from the rest. We’re always happy to recommend ESK. Would give them 10 stars if I could.

ESK repainted our upstairs and downstairs hall as well as the bannister to a very high standard. They were courteous and polite and was particularly impressed that they tidied up each evening before leaving for the day. The work was completed within the time given and the price was as quoted.

We used ESK to paint the exterior of our rendered house and external woodwork. Steve arranged for third parties to meet him on site to determine scaffolding and machinery costs in order to provide a comprehensive and detailed quote. Steve’s team were all very courteous, tidy and polite and completed the job to a very high standard, carrying out great repair work to existing woodwork where needed. The job was completed within the predicted timescales and Steve was very diligent in ensuring the work was quality checked regularly. We received regular updates throughout the works and the Steve was professional and friendly at all times. The site was left in a clean state and we would not hesitate to recommend to others.

We used ESK some years ago and had no hesitation in making use of their services again recently. ESK painted our front door and garage door, meter boxes and entrance porch. The work was done on time and on budget as quoted. The front door involved much preparation work; all done neatly & all the old paint scrapings cleaned up. It all worked out without any hassle from the time that Steve quoted and helped us with the paint colour & product to the end. The paint product that Steve used last time has lasted well. I have no doubt this will be the case again now.

ESK decorated my hall, living and dining rooms. The standard of work, from the original meeting with Steve to discuss the project, to their final clear-up at the end of the work was excellent. The staff on site were respectful and kept the place clean, tidy, making sure everything was vacuumed at the end of each day. The work was completed quickly - I had painting a wallpapering done - and both were finished to a very high standard. I’d have no problem recommending ESK to anyone.

Easy to deal with, quoted promptly. Quoted and organised well in advance due to me being overseas, but started and finished on schedule and for agreed price. Kept me informed by email of when something might have been more costly, and additional quote given, which was then not needed. May not have been the cheapest, but I needed reliability and I was very happy with the service and result.

Restoration to former glory on 100 year old small house of a timber conservatory, patio doors and a window. Modern in outlook - repair to high standard rather than demolish and replace with synthetic (expensive) replacements and clearly enjoyed doing the job. Adam handled this formerly sad looking part of house in a style the late householder would have tried. He explained as he went, worked when weather permitted and when after completion a window got stuck returned and carefully corrected. Solid work - looks good, too. Thank you.

The wood cladding on my house was in desperate need, of serious renovation, the team from ESK did a fantastic professional job, achieving a finish that was well beyond my expectation.

Sitting room and cloakroom decorated. Excellent service throughout the process from quote to completion (including liaison with our carpet fitter), which meant everything ran smoothly. Thoroughly professional but friendly service. An unexpected problem was encountered with the the preparation of surface to be papered and rectified (this did mean time taken slightly ran over the estimated time, but we were kept informed throughout). A very difficult match in the wallpaper we had chosen was identified and hung with no visible joins. The team were punctual, polite and highly skilled working cleanly and cheerfully.

ESK's friendly and proficient team repainted all the external woodwork, and organised repairs and replacement of the tudor boarding. The work was carried out efficiently, when the weather permitted, completed to a high standard, and to the agreed budget. Communication was good throughout the two week period the work took to complete especially as the weather was not always conducive to painting exterior woodwork. I would have no hesitation in using ESK again.
