KAB Decorating Services LTD

The task was to redecorate our 4 bedroom 1890s townhouse (with the exception of one small room) over three and a half weeks. KAB achieved this with minimum fuss and to a high standard. We are very pleased with the end result. They were punctual throughout and were willing to put in the extra half hour where necessary. They worked hard throughout the three weeks At each stage they consulted us on our requirements and explained what they planned to do. Where the odd difficulty arose, KAB discussed with us the nature of the problem and suggested ways of solving, it which were effective in each case. They were very personable throughout and where they considered we might have difficulty making all areas of each room as accessible as possible, they offered very helpful support. On the day after completion they made an additional brief visit to ensure we were satisfied with their work and offered to put finishing touches to things we might have spotted overnight. Should the occasion arise, we would not hesitate to make KAB our first choice in the future.

I wanted to thank Keith and his son Jensen for their great work repairing the frames of my bay window and painting the entire bay window of my living room. They were proactive, courteous, punctual and professional, delivered great quality work, and went above and beyond when they spotted unexpected issues with one of my window panels to fix them. I won't hesitate to use them again and recommend them to my connections. Anouck

KAB painted our wooden sash windows, along with some external painting to our house and did a lovely job. The painting looks great and is a big improvement. Keith and Jensen were professional, courteous, punctual and tidied up after each days work. The work was of a high standard and we would certainly recommend them to others.

We had them round to refurbish our sadly deteriorated outside facias/soffits. Keith came round and quickly provided a quote. They always get good reviews and word of mouth soon travels so they were not due to be available for several weeks. As it turned out, poor weather gave them an opportunity to do our smaller job much sooner. We were so pleased that we had chosen KAB Decorating Services. Keith and his son Jason patiently dealt with the intermittent rainy conditions, and did a thorough job of preparing the woodwork, then applying quality exterior paints. We have ended up with a very professional finish, which highlights the poor condition of the adjoining neighbours’ facias. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they included clearing the gutters out while they were on the ladders. Apart from doing a professional job, and clearing up each day, they are lovely people who are easy to deal with. Thank you, Keith and Jason.

Keith & his son Jenson recently painted the outside of my house plus two bedrooms. The front of my house was in a really bad state & Keith & Jensen prepared it very thoroughly, before painting. Wallpapering was involved in one of the bedrooms which Keith undertook very carefully & the result was amazing! Their work on my house was altogether of a high standard & I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Keith & Jensen were professional, courteous & very pleasant to have around. They were also punctual, kept to their original quote & tidied up after each days work. A great team!

KAB Decorating Services have just completed painting the outside of our three storey late Victorian terraced house. Following a competitive quote they organised some very tidy scaffolding and did a thorough job of preparing the woodwork and repairing two stone sills that needed more attention than we anticipated. The quality of the finished paintwork is excellent. Keith and his son were very professional, good communicators, and a pleasure to work with.

Keith and his son painted the internal wooden frames of our windows which needed a freshen up. I found it easy to schedule the work. Keith provided a competitive quote which represented very good value for money considering what our builders were quoting us as part of a much bigger job. Everything went well and we were very pleased with the work. I would not hesitate to recommend and am going to ask for a quote for another job that is on the cards very soon.

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.

Keith repaired and painted five window sills. Would highly recommend Keith. He finished the work quickly but not in a rushed way, was very friendly and knowledgeable, turned up on time and left everything looking good and tidy. Lovely guy and great work.

Had polystyrene ceiling tiles removed from hall and ceiling plastered. Then hall, stairs and landing and seven doors painted. KAB came on time and were extremely careful to protect all the carpet with plastic and sheeting. They worked hard and steadily with only a short break for lunch and completed the work within five days. They were polite, pleasant and considerate all the time. They hoovered carefully at the end of each day before leaving. The end result was extremely good and we are very pleased with it.

Keith and Jenson have just finished decorating 2 of our bedrooms having done some exterior redecoration for us last year. They've done another great job, they take great pride in their work and are the tidiest, quietest decorators ever! I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them.

We asked Keith to redecorate the front of our house and it looks great. He also helped us with some other stuff too - checking and sealing our front guttering and also fixing our front gate - which we really appreciated and although it wasn't something he could do himself he gave us some really useful advice on how we might approach resurfacing the area in front of the house. We were very grateful for the calm, flexible and considerate way in which he managed the work around us and the weather. It was a pleasure to have Keith and his son around.

Keith responded quickly to our request to provide a quote to repair and repaint the windowsills at the front of the house. The quote was very reasonable and he was able to commence the work quite quickly. He and his son worked very steadily throughout the 2 days they were here. They checked that we were happy with what their plans were and with the choices of paint, etc. They did a good job of repairing the sills and we are very pleased with the painting work that they did. They were very pleasant to have working on the house, quiet and very careful about tidying up. We have no hesitation in recommending them.

We picked K.A.B. because it was well reviewed and local. We contacted Keith, who was able to visit in a couple of days time. In the "walk-round", it was obvious that Keith was an experienced tradesman, pointing-out potential problems; the quotation arrived in a couple of days. The work was able to be started sooner than expected and completed in about two weeks, within budget, despite some minor repairs and variable weather. We found the whole experience stress-free, with Keith always contactable.

We hired Keith to paint the exterior of our house following some great work he did for us last year. He was an absolute pleasure to deal with and did a brilliant job. The paintwork was meticulous and careful on both the wood windows and stone/ cement sills etc. He spent a lot of care before painting to repair the cracks etc in the surfaces and deliver a really good finish. Neighbours asked if we had put in all new windows because it looks so good! Above all, Keith is just a really good person to work with. He and his son Jenson take real care in their work and he communicates every stage really well. I really trusted Keith to get the job done to a high standard and he absolutely delivered. I will certainly be using Keith for any future work and highly recommend him.

Keith did an excellent job sorting out the extensive nicotine staining in my living room, fixing the cracked plaster and woodwork, and painting the room in the wonderfully vibrant 70s colour scheme I’d requested. He was very accommodating and understanding when my other renovations were delayed, and kindly worked over the weekend to make sure everything was finished before we moved in. The decorating was finished to a high standard and I am very happy with the results. Keith was polite and professional and I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again for my future decorating needs.

KAB painted the exterior of my terraced house, including repairing the windows and, as it turned out, repairing some render. They also repaired some internal walls damaged by damp. They stuck to their timings, kept me informed throughout and worked to a high standard.

Keith and his small and excellent team painted the exterior of our 3 storey house, the masonry, the woodwork, and some very rusted metal railings. I can honestly say in all my years of employing decorators, Keith is the very best I have ever had. His prep work is meticulous and painstaking, and they clean up after themselves every day, which is a first! They were an absolute pleasure to have around, and I will most certainly be employing them again. I cannot speak too highly of them.

Keith redecorated the outside of our house and repainted our sash windows and door, helped by his son Jenson. They carried out the work to a high standard and on time and on budget. Equally impressive were their friendliness and professionalism. We have asked Keith to come back and quote on the rooms inside the house that need redecorating. I would highly recommend KAB Decorating Services.

Mr Brown painted the outside stonework and woodwork of my house. The job was carried out to a high standard in the time specified and to budget. He was very tidy, courteous and thoughtful. A small extra job arose was quickly and professionally resolved. I am very pleased and would recommend him with confidence.

I have recently used K A B Decorating Services to decorate my entire 1 bedroom apartment. The work was completed on time and within the budget quoted and to a high standard. The service is very friendly, professional and helpful. They even advised me on colours and paint to use which was really helpful. I didn't have any issues at all. I am very pleased with the final result and I highly recommend this company. The service is reliable, the quality is great and the price is very competitive.

Keith did a fantastic job on some tricky wall papering for us. He worked flexibly around our hectic schedule and was a complete pleasure to work with. The price was fair. I will definitely be calling on Keith in the future and would recommend his work without hesitation.

After my husband died in September, I decided to stay in our home and begin work on the improvements it badly needed but that had been neglected during a prolonged period of illness and caring. I obtained four estimates for the painting work, and chose Keith partly because his was the most competitive, but also because when he came to quote, I liked him. It was a good decision. Keith finished the first job today: the hall, staircases, and landing of a big Victorian house. He has done an excellent job. I was especially pleased with his preparation of peeling, cracked walls that hadn't had anything done to them for years. Every surface has been raked out, and filled, and sanded to a smooth surface on which the paint has landed beautifully. Keith always arrived on time, and was meticulous in clearing up every afternoon before leaving: rolling up dust sheets, putting equipment and materials carefully out of my way, and hoovering. In between he worked steadily, never disappearing, as some tradesmen do, to another job. Keith was consistently careful, discreet, and considerate. I have asthma, and I especially appreciated that he took care with the sanding of the walls, clearing the dust up as he went along, and sealing the doors with masking tape to keep as much of it as possible out of them. He is a very nice person, and a pleasure to have around. I am very happy with Keith's work, and as the work is being done in stages, will be welcoming him back to do the rest of it.

Keith did the decoration work on our new build flat. Work involved wall papering on the hallways, wood paneling and paint job on master bedroom & wall papering in guest bedroom. Keith did an excellent job in understanding our requirements and executing it to a very good standard. When we had issues with one of the wall papers Keith took our feedback positively, made sure to get it rectified and we were very happy in the end. He is a very hardworking & trust worthy individual, we would definitely recommend Keith and are planning to use him for any future projects.

We asked Keith at KAB Decorating Services to quote on painting the front and back of our small terraced 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 Keith 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. The team worked very quickly and cleanly with minimal mess. The job was completed well within the projected time frame and agreed budget. Keith 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 KAB decorating services. Keith and his team are polite, friendly, efficient, tidy and do an incredible job. What more could you ask for?

We contacted Keith to provide a quote for the painting of our windows and masonry at the front of our flat. A prompt reply and home visit with a competitive quote, lead us to choose Keith and we were so pleased we did. A highly professional and experienced tradesman, always prompt and reliable, keeping us informed on progress and plans for the next day and offering knowledgeable advice and suggestions in regards to the work. Which came in on budget and in exactly the time frame predicated. We were very pleased with the out come of the job, exceeding our expectations- as the woodwork involved had been in poor condition- but Keith did a great job. We would not hesitate to recommend K A B decorating services and we have no doubt we will be using them in the future. Always good to know such a reliable and quality professional. Thank you again Keith.

I have used Keith in the past and would do again for future decorating jobs. This time around Keith decorated my kitchen and also painted the outside rear of my house. The quality of his work is extremely good. He was also careful to clean up each evening before leaving. His quote for the job was very competitive and the invoiced cost did not exceed it. He was also reliable in his timings - the ten day job took precisely ten days - and he turned up each day at the time he said he would.

Got in contact with Keith for a quote to paint London 2 bed flat. Even though I live 200 hundred miles away we were able to communicate very well and finish the work on time along with excellent work, he also went beyond what was expected in finding other local tradespeople to finish of other jobs. I found Keith to be very accommodating despite his busy schedule and a pleasure to do business with. I would definitely use KAB services again and would recommend to others.

Keith was easy to communicate with and was able come over and give me an estimate for painting the living room, bathroom and 4 doors at short notice. He was able to fit the work in quickly even though his schedule is booked and busy. He completed the job to a very high standard and was able to fulfil all of my expectations, and within the timeframe we had first discussed. I would not hesitate to work with K.A.B. decorating services again! Thank you very much.

Keith responded very quickly to a call for a quote for my Mum's water-damaged bedroom, and was able to fit the job in quickly. He was sensitive to the needs of my elderly mother, and worked quietly, quickly and unobtrusively. The work was completed to a very high standard, and to budget. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Keith workmanship and professionalism.

Keith and his team have just decorated the exterior of my house, railings and installed water butts. I am really pleased with the result. They have done a first rate job and were 100% reliable, flexible, prompt, and a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend them. Keith provided lots of helpful and knowledgeable advice. He and his colleague did everything they said they would and more and were always punctual and left everything clean and tidy. The work has been done to an excellent standard. I shall be recommending them to everybody!

I found KAB Decorating services through the which trusted traders site. Keith and his son skimmed and painted my ceiling after polystyrene tiles were removed. They also painted the whole bedroom as well as putting new skirting boards up. The Job was very well done and to a high standard and a good reasonable price. He was always on time, and nice and friendly. I am very pleased with the work and will definitely be using him again. Thanks Keith for a job well done.

Keith painted and wallpapered my hallway, including ceilings and doors, which covered two floors. He has been punctual and professional from my initial enquiry, through to quote and completion of the job. The work was done to a high quality. I am very happy with his service. I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Keith Brown, ably helped by his son, repainted the entirety of my two-bedroom flat. He was unfailingly punctual, polite, gave practical tips and completed the work slightly ahead of schedule. I would recommend him for painting work in the Lewisham/Blackheath area.

From the quote to the work itself, nothing was too much trouble for Keith. While the job was more complicated than first appeared, Keith took it all in his stride. Really pleased with the end result. Lovely chap too. Highly recommended.

I used KAB to repaint outside of the house in Greenwich and repair some stucco work and window frames. From the scaffolding, Keith saw that the chimney needed repointing so he found someone to do that as well. Keith and his team were friendly and reliable and the preparation and painting was thorough. I recommend him.

I have used Keith's firm for 10 years - first for my bachelor girl flat and later for a larger family home. Over the years the whole house has been decorated both inside and out by KAB Decorating Services. The latest project was renovating a tired kitchen which Keith completed to a very tight deadline (for a family party) which has given me the kitchen of my dreams at a very reasonable price. Keith is a perfectionist and all his jobs are finished to a very high standard. He also has endless patience - fetching and demonstrating multiple paint sample pots to ensure that I would be satisfied with the final colour scheme!

After we'd had the living room redecorated and re-carpeted we decided that the fireplace would look better tiled. Completely the wrong way round with a new carpet down but Keith did a great job with no damage done to the carpet at all.

I have used Keith's decorating services for nearly 20 years. He has just redecorated my lounge and hallway/ stairs, and I asked him to fit new skirting boards and coving. Keith is always reliable, punctual, polite, tidy and thorough - all the work has been finished to a really high standard. It's a really great job and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

Keith was punctual, courteous and tidy. The work was completed quickly, with no fuss and to a high standard. I would definitely use his services again.

We've been using KAB for a range of painting and decorating services for over 10 years and we've never been disappointed. Keith is able to turn his hand to a variety of jobs, all finished to a high quality of standard. He is professional, reliable, punctual, friendly, courteous, clean/tidy and flexible. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend KAB, he's a pleasure to deal with.

Keith was reliable and did a very neat job. Nice and tidy too

I found KAB decorators through Trusted Traders and I am very pleased with the work. I asked KAB to paint part of the house exterior; this included removing a large area of rot and neatly adding in a new piece of wood. He carried out the work thoroughly; he was punctual,reliable,professional and very pleasant so I recommend him.

Keith painted the inside of our house just before we moved in and did an excellent job. He fitted us in at short notice and got all of the house painted in the short time available. Keith was easy to get hold of and get in touch to let us know how things were going. He was very professional and we were very happy with the outcome.
