The whole experience from our initial conversation with Mark to completion of the work was handled very professionally. Mark was very easy to speak to and carefully detailed our requirements. He was very accommodating regarding our availability and the completion of the work. Both Mark and his colleague Barry were meticulous in their work, friendly and polite. A thoroughly professional and job very well done, which has transformed the outside of our house We have arranged for them to do some other decorating.

Mark repaired an internal wall that had been damaged by water and then painted the room in my chosen colour. The work was completed promptly and the room was kept clean as it was progressing. I am very satisfied and will use this trader again.

Mark redecorated the living and dining area, lobby, stairs and landing for us. He has done an excellent job within the time he gave for completing the work. He was always punctual and polite, was flexible with dates and made a number of helpful suggestions as to how we could achieve the desired end result. We can highly recommend him.

Mark’s 100% excellent reviews led us to select him for our required work. Our first impressions of him were that he was most courteous, professional, informative and knowledgeable and we had no hesitation in asking him to completely redecorate our spare bedroom, which involved removing all the ghastly wood chip paper, filling, lining the walls and completely painting them and the woodwork. Right from the start we knew we had made the right choice. Mark was punctual, thorough, skilful, careful and precise. He was relaxed, friendly and especially helpful. The work was completed to a very high standard and we were extremely delighted by the room’s transformation. We would have absolutely no hesitation in using Mark again and I particularly recommend him to anyone who needs a super, highly-skilled decorator. He is first-class.

Mark did a great job painting the exterior of our house, staircase, hall and landing. He was good humoured throughout and I have no hesitation in recommending him. Mark showed interest in the job when he came to give a quote, putting thought into how he would tackle it, such as reaching an inaccessible part of the exterior and dealing with cracks in the walls in our upstairs landing. He gave a competitive quote and completed the work with a minimum of fuss to a high standard and on budget. He was meticulous in detail, even cleaning off old paint from door handles that had been there for decades. His work speaks for itself: two neighbours took Mark’s details after seeing how he has transformed the exterior of our house, and we have already asked him to quote for some additional work.

Mark decorated living room, 3 bedrooms and hallway after re-wiring and re-plastering, finishing off the fiddly bits which the plasterer had left. He was reliable, friendly and left everything clean and tidy, we hope he will do some other work in due course.

Mark Richards decorated my bedroom, landing, stairs and hallway. Such a transformation. Mark was always on time, friendly and very helpful. This is the first time he has worked at my property but I have a few friends who recommended him and I will also pass his details on. I definitely will be using him again. Mark is Friendly, Reliable and Trustworthy.

I was looking for a painter/decorator for a repaint job. After calling around several traders, I decided to go with Mark for three main reasons: 1) He came to the property himself to directly assess what work was required, took exact measurements and discussed with me the different types of paint and other solvents needed for the best result. He answered all my questions in detail, which I appreciated a lot. 2) He was able to guarantee the completion of the job within a short deadline, which incidentally included starting on a weekend at 8am to finish by mid week afternoon. 3) The quote provided had clear work details, breakdown of the costs and was competitively priced. Not only did he finish the job earlier than expected, he was always unfailingly courteous and friendly. The result of his work was extremely clean and professional too - in fact, he left the property cleaner than it was originally! Additionally, on receiving the final invoice, it totalled slightly cheaper as the materials costed a little less than expected. I highly recommend Mark, not only for the quality of his work and flexibility to fit to your schedule, but also for his honesty and amazing work ethic. I will certainly be returning to him for other future jobs!

I asked Mark to decorate my son's bedroom. It was a tight timescale as we wanted it done before we moved into the house, but Mark was very accommodating and managed to fit us in. Mark turned up when he said he would and finished by the time we agreed. He was, at all times, pleasant, helpful (eg collecting the paint for me as I don't drive) and reliable. My son's room looks great, and both my son and I are delighted with it. I've asked Mark to quote to decorate the rest of the house and I can't wait until it's all looking as good as my son's bedroom! I'd highly recommend him.

I booked Mark for an interior painting job for my flat. Took a few weeks to book in due to Covid, but Mark was responsive throughout and started on the date anticipated. Total professional, provided good advice and did a great job. Was friendly and efficient (and was very understanding when I was delayed granting him access to the flat on the first day!). No delays from his side and job was completed within the time and cost anticipated. Very happy with the work and am actually asking him to quote for a couple of additional jobs too.

Can't afford to move so arranged for Mark Richards to come in and decorate instead. Best decision I've made as it's totally transformed my two bedroom flat into a space my son and I now love to be in. I don't feel ashamed when people visit now - I show off my lovely rooms and recommend him to everyone! He decorated throughout: all of the walls, ceilings, woodwork and doors; and he was happy to include fitting my new door furniture and curtain poles when he quoted for the work. He made good all of the many horrible cracks that I had in walls and ceilings so everything now looks amazing. He's punctual, polite, courteous and trustworthy. I felt completely comfortable with Mark being here which is something, especially as a single parent, you have to factor in when you’re giving a stranger a key to your home. Mark’s attention to detail is exceptional, he literally can’t bring himself to leave anything looking less than perfect! The end result is a job incredibly well done. 10/10 :-)

Mark provided a comprehensive estimate with a realistic price. His work was just as good and we are delighted with the results. Mark always left the room in a clean and neat state at night meaning we could still use it comfortably. He worked quietly and very neatly and understood and respected our needs. The results delighted and already two neighbours have asked for his contact details. We have already booked Mark in to do another room next month. A genuine 5 on all three accounts.

Mark did a two-day painting job for me which he finished quickly and to a high standard. Above all, he is very flexible, courteous and good to work with - he was adaptable in finding a convenient date for the work, he kindly fitted around a house viewing which I had in the morning, and I think he left the site tidier than when he arrived! I will definitely be using his services again and have no hesitation recommending him.

Mark was tasked with painting the interior of my 3 bedroom property to a high standard so it was ready for sale. I only gave him a month to achieve this task to which he worked tirelessly to achieve it on budget and on time. Mark not only completed the task but was instrumental in additional decoration in preparation for the sale. Mark prides himself in his work which shows in the finish he has left from the decorating job. I would have no problem recommending Mark for any painting and decorating work. Thanks again.

Wish I had found Mark earlier. He went above and beyond what was expected and when I thought things looked ok, Mark worked until he was happy with the result. He happily painted a bedroom using "organic" paints, which are sometimes quite difficult to work with, but he completed on time and to estimate. Will definitely be using him again!
