My front concrete stairs were cracked, and covered in old paint that was peeling away. I needed not just a painter, but someone who could do exterior repairs as well. Michael Rose was easy to find and contact. He responded to my request promptly and quoted a fair price. He was diligent and punctual all throughout the process. Michael kept me informed on exactly what was to be done every step of the way. He was also very friendly and great to chat with. My husband and I will be keeping him in mind for future work as we have cracked walls and door frames that need repairs as well as paint. I would highly recommend his services.

Exterior decorating completed on schedule. Soffits, downpipes and exterior walls all painted as requested. Michael accommodated our needs, very friendly and tidy. Very pleased with the completed work.

Michael Rose did an excellent job redecorating and renovating our 1930’s timber windows and redecorating the outside of our house at a very reasonable price. I would be very happy to use Michael again in the future.

We have no hesitation in recommending Michael for painting services. We booked him to paint the exterior of our house and restore some wooden window frames. Michael always turns up when he says he will and his communication is excellent. He is friendly, professional, with excellent attention to detail.

Appointed Michael Rose as a local trader to paint the exterior walls of our house, including guttering and downpipes. A fixed price for the work was offered and agreed, to include all access scaffolding. The work started a little later than target, but not of any consequence, and proceeded effectively and thoroughly, having to accommodate some limitations on his operation because of our lockdown shielding. He always kept us informed of his progress and working plans. And he finished within the expected timeframe. The scaffolding was arranged and effected smoothly and as planned. The weather throughout was dry and hot. Workmanship was good with thoughtful attention to details as they occurred. All windows and frames were covered as needed as the work progressed. The site was left tidy at the end of each day. The project included a complete and thorough clean of all windows and window frames (aluminium and PVC so not painted) on completion and the jet cleaning of the patio which had been his main work area. We were not aware of this element at the start but thought it a really good way to finish the job, and shows an attention to detail and customer satisfaction. Michael himself was pleasant and communicative. And we were quite happy to leave the house unattended on occasions.

We have used Michael Rose numerous times in the past and would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone. This time we needed a large shed painted and also an outside kitchen window repaired and painted Michael is professional, punctual and good value and comes in on his quotes. He keeps you fully informed at each stage of the job and you always have the opportunity to walk around the works with Michael to ensure that you're happy with the results. Michael will be our go to man for any future painting and decorating works. First class !

Michael painted the exterior of my small, terraced house: windows, window frames, doorframe, sills, and soffits (and a bit of brickwork). He also tidied up a bit of damaged concrete for me. My house had not been touched for 25 years so there was a fair bit of preparatory work to do which he tackled with skill and determination. The work was done to a high standard and, importantly, done when he said he would do it. Michael got on with the job at hand, was friendly and cleaned up at the end of each day. What a joy that was compared to some others. As it is, it looks like Michael is now painting many of the other houses in the street as my neighbours have seen what a good job he has done. I look at the outside of my house each day and think “good job”, what more can you ask?

We were extremely pleased with Michael Rose's work when he decorated the outside front of our house. He took great pride and care, preparing surfaces repeatedly on all areas. These included: the fascia board, stone offit, two sash windows and reveals, stone string course and plinth. The area around the front door looks stunning, where he repaired the lower threshold, using three coats throughout. I can highly recommend him. He is punctual and approachable. I have lived in this house for 30 years and have never experienced such high quality work. Indeed, there are nine houses is my terrace and he will be working on the fourth on Monday, all to the same high standard.

Michael did some interior paintwork for me after I had a leak in my kitchen. Work was carried out to a high standard - he takes a lot of pride in his work, which was really refreshing, and makes him stand out from other traders, who often just want to finish the job quickly, rather than do it properly. Workplace was left clean and tidy upon completion of work. Very pleased with the results, I would hire him again when I need more work done. He was friendly, polite, honest, and his communication skills were good - mostly by phone, so it was a lot quicker than endless texts going back and forth.

Michael quoted for repairing and painting the soffits, weatherboards, sills, and window frames on my Victorian semi. He provided a very reasonable quote, that included scaffolding, and did the work to a very high standard. I can't praise his approach enough. He kept me informed all the way through the work he was doing and any issues with the job. He was punctual, tidy, and reliable. He definitely went over and above what was expected. The work came in within the quote even though there were extra bits, such as pointing that needed repair and gaps around the drain that needed filling. I would absolutely recommend Michael Rose to anyone who needs external decoration. Superb.
