Michael Rose Painting Services

Michael responded extremely promptly to my enquiry regarding repairing and decorating coving on the top landing and in bathroom of Victorian house. The work was carried out very efficiently and Michael was always very courteous. He kept me informed of what he was planning to do and carried out the work exactly as he said he would. Thank you for a great job.

We have used Michael and his team previously for some interior decorating. his job involved full painting of the exterior of our house with scaffolding up. They firstly carefully restored any problems with the rendering, rubbed down the windows etc and patient all surfaces really carefully with 3 final coats A really brilliant job and a pleasure to have them working for us

I contacted Michael Rose Painting as I needed my mum's bedroom decorated. She is 84 years old and worries about everything. Between them, myself and my daughter we have managed to put her mind at rest and she is so happy with the finished bedroom. They have been kind, courteous, professional and a job well done. They did what they said they would. I won happily recommend them to anything who asks me for a painter and decorator. Many thanks.

We hired Michael Rose's team to paint the front and side of our house above ground level. His scaffolders arrived on the agreed day; the work was completed on time; and the scaffolding was removed promptly thereafter. We are very pleased with the outcome and Michael has included a 6 year guarantee. We were also impressed by the preparations and the care taken during the work. Michael and his team were attentive and courteous; there were no issues. Decorating in the London suburbs comes at a cost these days, especially when it involves scaffolding, but the outcome matched our best expectations.

We had our flat painted by Michael and his team and were very happy with the result. After the work was finished we had new carpets laid and they returned to patch up bits of the work which had been damaged during that process. They definitely go the extra mile! It's important to us to feel comfortable with people in our home, and these guys were great. They were reliable, polite and hard working. We would wholeheartedly recommend Michael Rose.

It's not often I have bumped into a professional that will go above and beyond what is asked of them in order to facilitate a good quality home renovation. Michael Rose is such a service. His work was within budget and on schedule. the quality of the workmanship was impressive and his communication was spot on. Furthermore, after discussing the overall plan for our house renovation, Michael was able to facilitate other aspect of the renovation (such as carpentry, electrical worc etc.) through his trusted network of contacts, with full transparency every step of the way. His thoughtfulness and professionalism really put us at ease and made our house renovation much easier and stress-free than it would otherwise have been. We are really grateful for his work and can't recommend him highly enough

Michael and his young team member Scotty were friendly and polite throughout. The quote seemed reasonable for the work, so we agreed to proceed. However, the job felt rushed and squeezed between others. They were scheduled for late morning Thursday but arrived at 7pm, did an hour of prep, then left. Work resumed Friday at 10am, with some back and forth on colour matching—something I expected more guidance on. They wrapped up at 5pm with a fair bit still unfinished. Michael returned Saturday at 3pm, worked until 8:30pm, and came again Sunday for 45 minutes. When we reviewed the work, it was patchy with a slapdash finish on the woodwork—masonry paint was splattered and the surface hadn’t been properly sanded. I’d assumed “rub down” meant to sand back existing paint, but apparently not. I expected this would be corrected Monday, but instead received an early email asking for a review and payment. I asked for the woodwork to be redone and the masonry cleaned up—Michael agreed and arrived at 2:15pm. Given our home is on a busy street and several passers-by took interest in the signage, I’d hoped for better effort. Sadly, I can’t recommend the service. In hindsight, we should’ve waited for our usual builder or done it ourselves—would’ve looked better and saved £1.25k. Nice guys, but not the professional finish we expected.

Michael was fair on price, quick on the work and delivered what we expected. Highly recommend his services. Will have him back in the future for sure. Thanks Michael Jon

Michael Rose painted a bedroom and a largish bathroom for us. Michael's initial assessment and quote were excellent, and the work was completed to budget. They did an excellent job from start to finish. They were punctual, efficient, careful, and very thorough. We were delighted with the outcome, which was completed a day earlier than expected. It felt that nothing was too much trouble to get right. And communication with us was excellent throughout. Finally, it is a pleasure to have people working in the house who are simply nice people to have around!

Delighted to have found Michael. A polite, very pleasant man. His work was to a high standard, carried out quickly and very tidily. Charges were very reasonable. Would have no hesitation in using his services in the future, or recommending him.

I would highly recommend Michael Rose . He gave a reasonable estimate of price which stayed within budget He was prompt, worked carefully with respect to neighbours Work was carried out efficiently and all rubbish was cleared and outside left clean. He took time each day to review his work with me and was clear about plans for the following day. Michael is polite and cheerful and I am very happy with the work carried out

Mr Rose began painting the exterior of my property in November 2023 but was hampered with rain,wind and very cold conditions. However he did a very good under the circumstances. He returned several times to be sure I was happy with the end result even coming on Wednesday 3rd July 2024 to inspect the condition of his painting and put right any areas he was not happy with. I am very satisfied with this care and attention that I received and would happily recommend him. The estimate did not alter and I was kept informed every step of the way as the job progressed.

Michael painted our garage door and although it was modest job he took great pains, was meticulously neat and tidy and helpful with advice on other matters too. We thought his quotation was reasonable and were very happy with his excellent workmanship. A most pleasant, and courteous man - we recommend him highly and would certainly opt to engage his services again.

I want to share my personal experience and how I felt from the service I received back in 2021 from Mr Rose’s Painting Service. I hired Mr Rose to decorate my kitchen (10ft by 12ft), he quoted xyz with a deposit of £925.00 up-front, my lapse in questioning Mr Rose why he was asking for a large amount up-front when he had not completed any work to that value. “One might say it was a bit of a lapse, but one does tend to take people on trust until one has some reason to doubt their credibility.” The final straw for me was when the paintwork blistered, after that I did not allow Mr Rose to return. Personally I will not be using Mr Rose again as I have no trust or faith in him or his work. It is a shame I did not read John’s google review before I hired him and agree with John’s comment about being out of pocket and will need to pay again to get the work done properly. Or shall I live in hope that Mr Rose will do the right thing and return my funds one day?? As I ask Mr Rose to return part of my funds paid (£600.00), after speaking to another decorator he mentioned what I had offered was reasonable and “surprised he did not jump at the offer as a poor review can be detrimental to your business”, Mr Rose replied with an unpleasant e-mail, which I felt disappointed by. Shame I cannot attach the photos of his work, like the saying goes: “a picture is worth a thousand words”

We enthusiastically recommend Michael Rose. The exterior of our house needed mending and repainting. The work was planned methodically, the repairs were carried out thoroughly and we were informed at every stage. The work was done to the agreed schedule and budget. Michael and his co-workers, Joe and Alfie, take obvious pride in their work. Our every wishes were taken into consideration and at the end of every day, the site was left tidy. Michael is an obvious professional. The house now gleams from top to bottom.

Michael and his team prepared, papered and painted our porch, hall, stairs and landing. All the work was carried out to a high standard and I would have no hesitation in recommending the team

Michael and his team just repainted my first floor windows. They did a great job. They arrived on time both days and were very polite, friendly and professional. They used sheets under the painting areas and were very tidy. The quote was also reasonable.

I can thoroughly recommend Michael Rose and his team. Michael has taken the time to train his team and they produce outstanding, high quality work whilst maintaining a thoughtful, client orientated relationship during the whole process. They were punctual, clean and efficient. Michael was present two or three times a day to check or help with the work an important factor when working for older people who are often present throughout the whole job. Michael is good value for money, no hidden or extra costs. All the work was completed as quoted and within the timeframe. Definitely 5star!!

Michael responded to my initial email enquiry very quickly. He came round on the agreed specified day and the quote came the day after that. The price was what I had expected to pay for the job. He was polite and courteous as were his staff. They were very diligent in the placing of dust sheets, covered the windows in plastic and even covered the neighbours cars to avoid any accidental splashes (the house is terraced so we are close to the neighbours) and always cleared up at the end of the day. The colour we chose from the swatch card turned out to be much brighter than we’d expected when it was painted on the door. Michael went to the trouble of going to the Dulux supplier and picking up several sample pots so that we found a colour we were satisfied with. Excellent customer service

Michael and his team were outstanding.Friendly,courteous and professional at all times. Dealt with problems that arose without complaint, and called in other contractors when unable to do jobs themselves. Job was delivered on budget and on time.Went the extra mile to ensure we were happy with the end result.Took care clearing up,and removed all detritus.Many neighbours have walked by and complimented us on how good the house looks now. We are extremely pleased with the outcome,would not hesitate to use Michael again, and would highly reccomend Michael Rose painting to anyone.

We had to wait a few weeks as Michael is busy but it was well worth it. He remedied some plaster on the ceiling and painted our sitting room, which is a large high-ceilinged room. It looks beautiful and he was reliable, trustworthy and pleasant throughout. Would definitely recommend him.

Michael and Alfie, his assistant did an outstanding job with which I am thrilled. A price was agreed for the work on the wood cladding externally and the interior of the porch on my house. This price was kept to. However, I requested more be done than had originally been agreed and accepted the additional cost of painting the garage door and front door, as well as one or two minor things I had originally overlooked. Everything was fair and transparent. The work was carried out with maximum protection for surroundings at all times. Michael saw to it that on the cladding and all surfaces his work would provide longevity and protection. Michael also let me know at all times if he had to change the hour of arrival slightly and gave me accurate time estimates of how long individual pieces of the work would take. He is immensely helpful. I can vouch for his skill and total professionalism at all times and in all areas of his business. He guarantees his work for two years and I know I can call him should I need him on this or a new painting project. Thank you Michael, Alfie and Which.
