We recently had Graham to paint two rooms and fill in a number of unsightly cracks in the extension. We are very satisfied with Graham's work. He and his young colleague, Harry turned up on time each day, worked solidly and left the place neat & tidy each evening, ready for the next day. They were polite & friendly, spent time on thorough preparation and did a very professional job. We wouldn't hesitate to use Graham again and are happy to recommend him.

Graham came to wallpaper our open plan living room and diner. A complicated job with some difficult sections, Graham used his experience to finish the job quickly and to a high finish. He also offered a lot of ideas on how to approach certain complicated areas so it would look good. He managed to cleverly reclaim some old wallpaper to correct a section I had ruined when prepping the room for decoration. Graham was genuine and approachable and nice to chat to. Highly recommended.

Graham Maddock quoted for a decorating job in my flat. Although he was not the cheapest he came highly recommended from a neighbour. From the moment the quote was accepted, Graham kept me fully informed as to choice of materials and expected date to start the job. The work was completed as promised in three days and to a very high standard. He arrived promptly each day and the work was cleaned down and made tidy before he left. He has an eye for detail - I wanted a perfectionist and got one! Will definitely use him next time

Graham has worked as our decorator for the past 20 years. He is very dedicated to his work and always finishes to a very high standard. His preparation work is exemplary as is his tidiness. He is prepared to offer advice & solutions to achieve the best result for the customer. He recently decorated our living room and, as always, was reliable and did a lovely job. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Graham was recommended to us by a friend who had worked with him a few years ago. We were happy with his quote for the hallway and landing to be painted, along with 11 doors and we booked him up 9 months in advance, as we wanted the decorating to take place in the Summer Holidays the following year. Graham even painted our porch instead of a front door and side panels which we had had replaced before he came to start the job and this proved to not be a problem. He arrived punctually every morning and worked until late, tidying up every evening. You can see he takes pride in all of his work and we are really pleased with the end results. I would totally recommend Graham. He is so professional, friendly and trustworthy. I could pop out as and when I needed to, leaving him at my home. Thank you for a superb job!

We found Graham on Which Trusted Traders and have been very happy with the service from quotation (very reasonably priced) through to completion of the work. The quality of the work (wallpapering and painting) is brilliant and we found Graham to be an exceptionally considerate workman, who was amenable to all our requests. Will definitely use Graham again and highly recommend him to anyone after a painter/decorator.

We have had Graham redecorate our hall, stairs and landing. Our walls needed stripping of wallpaper and the plaster underneath needed a lot of attention. The walls were then painted and all the woodwork rubbed down and repainted. Graham took a lot of care and seemed as keen as us to have a high quality finish. He is a very clean and tidy worker. We would definitely recommend him.

Graham Maddock has recently redecorated my hall, stairs and landings. He did some work work for us some years ago and we were very happy with it so I didn't hesitate to use him again. He is very thorough and has done a wonderful job. He's also a pleasure to have in the house so I would recommend him and always call on him again to carry out any further jobs that may need doing in the future.

Graham did some great work for us last year, and we didn't hesitate in choosing him again when we wanted a couple more rooms decorating this year (including a large three-storey hallway). Once again, Graham demonstrated excellent attention to detail - as well as painting, he skillfully made good a damaged ceiling, and repaired a damaged door. We can't recommend him highly enough.

Graham has just finished decorating our living room and we are really happy with the outcome. The quality of the finish is excellent. Graham has a real attention to detail and is very friendly to have around. We have a period property, and Graham gave some excellent advice on the best approach to take. He is also very trustworthy and reliable - we were away for one week and felt very comfortable leaving Graham to carry on in our absence. He kept the house locked up safely each day and even watered the flowers! This is the second time we’ve used Graham, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

We have engaged Graham's services several times; I believe this is the fourth or fifth time now. And every time, I promise to leave him a review and then don't get around, for which I apologise Graham! His is currently redoing our ceilings, hall and stairs and the gloss work and repainting our kitchen and dining room. He'll be finished next week. Previous jobs have included the bathrooms, main bedroom and the living room. He always does a superb job with meticulous attention to detail. If he encounters an issue, he'll talk us through our options and make suggestions, always with our best interests in mind. Communication is excellent, quality is excellent, price is very reasonable and he always leaves the place as livable as possible at the end of each day. Never had a problem with anything he's done for us.

We had to wait a long time for Graham because he had a full order book, but it was worth the wait. He painted a bedroom; and painted and wallpapered the hallway, stairs and kitchen. He carefully applied two coats of paint to all woodwork and his papering was excellent. He was obliging, friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. He took away all wallpaper strippings and left the house in a tidy condition. We have no hesitation in highly recommending him.

Graham managed to fit us in just before Christmas and was extremely thorough in the quality of his work for both the painting and applying wallpaper. Also helped repair a decorating issue we had with our curtain rail after the work was completed. Would absolutely recommend Graham and use again Mr Hunt

Initially received a very reasonable quote for decorating my flat. A couple of extra bits popped up during the decoration, i.e. making good some previous decorating attempts by others which took a bit of time to put right but at no extra cost. Graham’s work is fantastic with attention to detail that is much appreciated. At the end of each day he always tidied up packed his materials away so not to cause any bother. Overall I was really pleased with the result and would recommend to others...well worth the money.

Graham decorated various rooms and ceilings in my daughter's house, and did a beautiful job. She reported that he arrived on time every day, was very friendly, and left the areas beautifully clean and tidy at the end of every single day, so that all parts of the house remained usable. She would not hesitate to recommend him.

We contacted Graham after reading previous reviews. He came round and gave a competitive quote but explained he was booked up until the new year. The room had been cleared of furniture and we said it would stay like that. Fortunately he had a cancellation and came to us. He arrived early each day and left late. He is of a pleasant disposition and easy to get on with. He worked hard to a very good standard and we would use him again.
