K A B Decorating Services

The décor in our town house was distinctly old and jaded; varnish/paintwork discoloured, rusty radiators, cracked plaster etc. We identified the local decorators who were Which? Trusted Traders and approached KAB for a quote. We met Keith, who completely understood our requirements and the work involved, and had no hesitation in accepting that. In three weeks, the agreed work was completed to schedule and at estimated cost. Keith and his son Jensen had completely transformed our interior. On all counts their work was excellent. Along with achieving a very high standard for the finished product, they were always punctual, courteous and sociable, and took pains to minimise the inevitable disruption. Some specialist plumbing and electrical work was required and carried out to a high degree of satisfaction. Keith organised all this through his network of proficient tradesmen. What impressed us as the work progressed, was KAB’s desire to get the final product right by frequently discussing with us, the pros and cons of alternatives where choices had to be made; often guiding us gently to the correct option! We hope to use KAB in future and have no hesitation in recommending them on all aspects of their workmanship!

Keith and his son did a very professional job on the repairs, preparation and painting of the front of my Victorian house. The wooden sash windows and the stone sills needed a lot of repair work using a resin filler. As I wasn’t present at the house Keith took the trouble to send me photos of the preparation and work required prior to doing the repairs. He was also happy to discuss the work and the proposed repairs with my partner, giving practical advice which reflected his knowledge and experience. He replied to messages promptly and I quickly came to realise that, if he said he would do something, he could be relied upon to do it. Both he and his son clearly take pride in their work, are knowledgeable, considerate and helpful. I would definitely use their services again.

Keith and his son Jason decorated our hall and stairs. They did a really good job and offered help and advice. They took in their stride some extra work that we wanted and worked on a Saturday, which was very kind. The painting and prep had not been done well before, but they have transformed it. They are both lovely people and very polite and thoughtful. They hoovered and cleared regularly. Impressed. Hoping they will be back for other decorating jobs. Highly recommend.

I am completely happy and confident to recommend K A B Decorating Services. Keith and his son Jenson have just spent the last couple of weeks repainting practically the whole of our flat. This was a job that needed to be done but which we were dreading because of the upheaval to our routine. Not only were we pleased with what they did but also grateful for the way they carried out this task, working around our daily living needs. Keith and Jenson were gentleman, both considerate and polite. Besides being very knowledgeable and patient they made the effort to ensure each day we had, for example, a bed and a room to sleep in. They were clean and tidy in their work and punctual. Thank you!

I have used Keith and his son for a number of outdoor painting/repair jobs and I highly recommend them. They do a great job, are professional and friendly. The work is delivered on time and at the cost quoted. Great for all types of painting/repair. They also carried out larger jobs eg repainting a boathouse - very large folding doors, outside masonry paint and the "stable doors" to our beer cellar. Plus renewing and revarnishing a wood front door and internal redecoration of the rowing club.

Keith and his son painted the exterior of our property in Greenwich. It was completed to a high standard, very cleanly, and they were both courteous and polite. Keith has done work for us in the past too and I fully recommend him for your painting needs.

Keith and his son Jensen painted my kitchen and some external walls. They did an excellent job repairing some cracks in the mortar to leave a flawless finish. They worked hard to get the job done on time and on budget and kindly fitted in some extra painting that wasn’t quoted, to ensure I was happy. I was very pleased with their work, their attention to detail and pleasant manner. They were a pleasure to work with and it’s clear that Keith is very experienced in his trade. They are customer focused and understand how inconvenient decorating can be for clients so they are careful to cover everything and clean up after the job. I would certainly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional decorator.

Over three weeks Keith and Jenson painted our townhouse inside and out, including a two-storey atrium. It was potentially challenging to have decorators in our home for such a long time. But it was entirely stress-free thanks to their flexibility and sensitivity. They were always calm, considerate and polite; and we enjoyed their company. They kept to the agreed schedule and completed the work on time and within budget. They cleaned up as they worked and thoroughly cleaned and hoovered at the end of each day. The preparation of surfaces to be painted was meticulous and the end result was excellent as a result. I would recommend them without reservation.

My relationship with Keith goes back two and a half years, to January 2020, when I asked him to quote for painting my hall and staircase. He did a splendid job, and since then has become my trusted, valued partner in the long-term project of re-decorating my entire house: hall and staircase, three bedrooms, kitchen and utility room, bathroom and toilet, attic studio and garage. Keith's son Jensen joined him in the later stages: he is following in his father's very professional footsteps, and together they completed the final rooms last week. The work has been spread over four stages during the two and a half years since then. Every bit of it has been done to a thoroughly high standard. Keith understands the importance to the finished job of meticulous preparation (not all painters do). Every crack has been carefully raked out and filled (and when necessary re-filled after the first coat of paint) and any necessary re-plastering done. The painting itself was done beautifully - well brushed out, with no smears on the window panes. The inevitable few little splashes were quickly cleaned up, and whichever room they were working in was left clean and tidy at the end of the day. All that deserves my five stars. But it doesn't take in the kindness and generosity of the man himself, for whom nothing seems to be too much trouble, and who is genuinely a pleasure to work with and to know. My house has been completely transformed thanks to Keith, and I'm very grateful to him.

Keith of KAB Decorating Services was recommended to us by our kitchen fitter. Keith was able to make time in a very busy schedule to fit in a plastering job that we hadn’t anticipated at the start of our kitchen project, including working at the weekend. He and his colleague were friendly, polite, communicated well, arrived when they said they would, completed the work to a very good standard and in the time they estimated it would take, they cleared up after the work and stayed within their quote. I would definitely use their services again and am happy to recommend their services. Thank you, Keith.
