MakoExpert Ltd - Property Refurbishment Specialist

I have no hesitation in recommending Mako Expert if you're looking for a premium and 'good natured' decoration service. Our decoration job involved co-ordinating between tenants and two owners, with one of us an absent landlord (our house is two separate flats in a Share of Freehold agreement) which isn't straightforward but this company handled it superbly. Mario is excellent at communication with strong interpersonal skills making him easy to work with and troubleshoot access issues as they arose. The decoration work appears a quality job, with care and attention to detail and plaster being used where needed and the windows given new edges. Time was taken to discuss the best paint colours and products before work began. I also appreciated that the decorators identified a problem with an exterior corroded pipe and approached me with a problem and quote to fix it. Using Mako Expert gave me peace of mind and has saved me time. Their quote was one of the most expensive we got, however, I don't think any of the other decorators we approached could have run the job as smoothly or provided such a detailed or rounded service. This is a company keen to please and go out of their way to ensure a good result. My tenants who were reluctant to have strangers in their house reported back that the Mako painters were pleasant and polite. The job was finished on time and Mario has revisited to sort out several final details. For future decoration work, I plan to use Mako Expert again.

Everything about the work done by Mario and his team was perfect. We needed it to be done quickly due to getting our house on the market and Mario fit around this without missing anything on quality. He and his decorative art manager Boguseaw Skinder did amazing work both touching up and repainting large areas. It looks as good as new, and to top off they also managed to remove stains from wooden desks, re-varnished the outside where there was worn woodwork, fix an expanded door frame and replace bathroom silicone, which saved calling out anyone else! Thank you Mario, we will definitely use you again and recommend to others. Thank you, Josh.

MakoExpert Ltd Management and Team deserve all the good reviews they have on this site. The fact that they were redecorating both large residential and commercial projects before they come to us says it all.I can remark about the excellent, effective and organised teamwork, with a very tidy work ethic makes them a professional company. For my opinion as a Building Manager at Farley Court, is just to say that I am completely satisfied with this excellent outcome of painting and decorating services in our property. Fausto Realpe

We can’t recommend Mario and his team enough!! We were having a full house refurbishment done and were let down at the last minute by two decorators. Mario came to the rescue at the 11th hour – and for that we are infinitely grateful. Mario's quote was reasonable. He rearranged his personal schedule to help on the job and got the work underway in less than two weeks! Right from the start Mario was professional, friendly and engaged in the project – it wasn’t just another job. He listened to what we wanted and offered good advice. His team were simply the best. They were punctual, efficient, meticulously clean, and friendly – they actually made the refurb so much fun!! The quality of work of every decorator was outstanding with real attention to detail. It's rare to find such pride in workmanship. They completed all the plastering, 'making good' of walls after a full rewire, painting the whole house and additional decorating in just two weeks - way ahead of schedule. A huge thanks to Mario and his 'A' team.

We have used Makoexpert for painting and decorating common parts of a large residential block situated in the west end. We found them to be well organised, very good quality finish to their work, reliable and pleasant to work with. They respected the terms and conditions, presented by the building management of working in the building and respecting residents privacy. The whole team was friendly and well presented in their uniform at all times. The work finished well before scheduled date.

Makoexpert have decorated the outside of my house. The work is excellent and was carried out quickly and with care. Mario was on site many times to ensure that I was happy with everything, and they did extra jobs as requested so that the whole house now looks lovely. They were keen to listen to what I wanted and were very tidy. I will use them again soon for other work.

MakoExpert redecorated the exterior of our house in Kilburn (as part of a leasehold), along with separately decorating the inside of just our flat at the same time. They were total professionals throughout and Mario visited the property several times beforehand to make sure he knew everything we needed, including going out of his way to come very late in the evening on one occasion. He made the whole process very easy despite it working as two different jobs under two different contracts. Once the work started, MakoExpert had a team of people busy and completed the whole building in under 2 weeks, the quality of the work was excellent, they were very flexible, and responded very quickly to any communication throughout. I would highly recommend and would definitely work them with again.

I had the pleasure of working with MakoExpert in February 2017 on a project to completely re-decorate my rather unconventionally shaped flat in West Hampstead (lots of stairs and curves and fiddly crevices). From the first meeting to the last day of work, Mario and his team were professional, polite and enthusiastic. They were very open to how I needed the project to be run and listened to my brief, following it to the letter, whilst adding useful and practical suggestions of their own. Their contract was detailed, very clear and comprehensive which gave me complete peace of mind that I understood what was going to happen and how. Once work got underway everybody was punctual, respectful of my property and extraordinarily meticulous in their attention to detail and quality of workmanship. Every team member took pride in doing everything to the highest possible standard, from laborious and careful preparation work to the finishing touches. I was so impressed with the standard of workmanship that I requested them to do additional work on refreshing our two bathrooms. I am so happy with the way the whole flat looks – much better than when I first moved in – and the two week process has been a pleasure to undertake with this company. Mario committed to completing this substantial job inside a specific and quite limited time frame and his team worked exceptionally hard to make sure this happened. I would without hesitation work with them again and highly recommend them.

Mario and his team did a great job to redecorate my 2 bed flat in N London. I live abroad in Australia for work and so I needed someone reliable with good results to manage the redecorate project so new tenants could move in on time. Mario also managed to source and install some new shelving to the kitchen without my presence. Since the job is complete the property agent has inspected the job they found the work to be of a high quality. The pictures also look great. I took 3 quotes for this job, Mario was the middle quote but I'm glad to pay for the piece of mind and great friendly service. Would certainly recommend.

Mario and his team painted the outside of our three storey house and did an excellent job. The house had not been painted since we bought it 8 years ago, the plaster was crumbling and the sash windows were in a bad state. We are now the smartest house on the street! Mario was very reliable, true to his word and a pleasure to have around. We are very pleased with the outcome and would thoroughly recommend him.

We hired Mako Expert to repaint the outside bay window of our ground floor flat. The window was in an awful state with the paint peeling, but after Mario and his team finished the job, it was completely transformed. The standard of work was to a high degree and we are very happy with the results. He was reliable, showed up on time and took care of buying all the materials needed. I would gladly recommend Mario to anyone else looking for external redecoration / painting.

Mako Expert are an excellent company. They wallpapered and painted two rooms in my flat along with under taking electrical work replacing lights and fittings. The work they did is superb. Such good detail and finish. They are super nice, clean, tidy and the customer service is best i have known. Mario and his team at Mako are fantastic and it was a pleasure doing business with them. Such a refreshing change. They assured me every step of the way, were straight, honest and worked over the weekend to get the job done in a quarter of the time.

Mario @ Mako has just finished painting the outside of our house and two living rooms. He completed the job within the time, working over the weekend to ensure he kept to time. He is honest, trust worthy and a perfectionist. He has a great team and I enjoyed working with him. He comes highly recommended. I will definitely use him again.

MakoExpert has just completed painting the exterior of our Victorian terrace house in Central London. Everything was perfect. First impressions of Mario were excellent, he listed exactly what needed to be done, noticing things I hadn't seen. The contract was absolutely clear about what was covered, what would happen about extras, when payments were due. The lovely team of guys showed up on the first day in their immaculate white overalls and proceeded with thorough preparation of the stucco and the many peeling railings. They were considerate and careful, taking off shoes to walk through to the back, tidying at the end of each day. Mario checked for anything overlooked at the end of each day and they were cheerfully completed. They team really was a team, each with their own special talent. One came back to replace a faulty gutter and Mario re-painted the wall where the storm had splashed mud onto it. They were a pleasure to have around. Everything was perfect and we will definitely use them again.

As garden designers we deal with a lot of joiners and painters, Mario will be the one that I recommend from now on. It was pretty much faultless from beginning to end. Everyone was polite, efficient, helpful and clean and did a really good job. As part of the job we had a tricky wooden conservatory roof that needed re-varnishing. Mario not only achieved this but also managed to re apply some silicon that completely got rid of a leak that had started to appear. If I have any more decorating I will definitely use Mario again. Highly recommended.

Mario and his team were very flexible and worked around our requests and the results were fabulous. Great time keeping and delivered top quality work to budget.

I found Mario to be prompt, courteous, and professional. He replied quickly to my original enquiry, provided a speedy quote and then did the work, ahead of time, by working on weekends. Quality of work appears good.
