R Read Decorators

Rob and his team redecorated our entire house while we were away, they did a top quality job and we are really happy with the work. The attention to detail is excellent and the quality of the paintwork is outstanding (e.g not a single drip / run to be seen on wooden bannisters). They left our house in perfect condition in terms of tidiness and were pleasant to deal with throughout. Many thanks to Rob and the team!

Rob and the team were excellent throughout, from providing the quote, keeping updated on dates and availability, then getting the painting of external windows done. Filled properly with three coats applied, they were all respectful to neighbours, put mats to protect carpets in the house, and got on with the work efficiently and effectively. Recommended!

Another superb job for us by Rob and his team. This time, it was stripping and papering the hall, landing, stairs, and painting all the woodwork. Friendly, reliable, and entirely trustworthy, Rob and the team completed the job within 4 days. Not only do we have no hesitation in recommending R. Read decorators, but we’ve already enquired if he can do another job for us.

Rob, from R Read Decorators, was initially requested to paint a purpose-built media wall and skirting board then paper either side of the media wall. Rob discussed his availability, paint colour options and provided us with a comprehensive quotation, which we considered very competitive, within a couple of days. After we accepted the quote we decided that we would like coving fitted and painted above the media wall and Rob was extremely accommodating when we approached him to also perform this work and he went at lengths to ensure the coving matched what was already installed in the room. Overall, Rob was very communicative, extremely reliable, tidy, hard-working and provided options for what could be done throughout the whole process. We are delighted with the outcome of his work and we would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

The decorators arrived promptly on the day which was agreed upon after an initial delay. They worked extremely efficiently and skillfully to decorate a three-floor hall, landing and two staircases. The top-floor staircase was very high and we were especially pleased with the cleaning and painting in such a difficult area. Every day the floors were cleaned and tidied and paint and equipment stored away. The decorators were very helpful and polite and repaired water damage in an adjoining room as well as on the landing and changed a door handle. The finished results are brilliant. Thank you. We would thoroughly recommend this company.

On this, our second contract, Rob decorated our Sitting Room. He and his team arrived as scheduled and promptly organised the room and started the work. He and his team are friendly, arrive on time every day and do a solid day’s work. They inspire confidence by their attention to detail. I am always impressed by how efficiently Rob manages estimating, carrying through the work, and leaving the area clean and tidy. All within the agreed estimate. I have asked Rob to decorate another area when he is available.

We trusted Rob to redecorate the whole inside of our family house. It was trust well placed - he and his team did a wonderful job and it was a pleasure to have them around. We couldn’t be more pleased, the cost was reasonable and the work completed within the budget and on time. We will certainly use him again if he will put up with us and, naturally after this experience, he is highly recommended.

Rob and his team painted the outside of our house which had not been decorated for many years. They spent time preparing the wood and filling any rotten areas of wood (house is Edwardian) They were all great guys who worked tirelessly and professionally, and have a pride in their work. We are absolutely thrilled with the transformation and are getting them back to paint indoor windows. The work was completed within the budget of the quote and is very reasonable. We are delighted.

Rob and his team have just finished painting the exterior of our Victorian home. There was great communication from the beginning and the work carried out was to an excellent standard. The guys were all hardworking, friendly and very professional, we have been extremely pleased with the finished result and will definitely use them again. I would highly recommend them.

Robert and his team have just completed painting the outside of my house. The work is done to a very high standard. They replaced wood that had become rotten and made a very professional finish .I would recommend them without any hesitation. They are personable, trustworthy and most of all do a good job. You couldn’t find a better decorator.Thank you everyone.

It was a pleasure to have this team repair and decorate the exterior of our home. It is years since I have had quality of this standard - truly professional. The team was friendly, quiet and unobtrusive. They worked non stop and completed the work on time and as planned, including extras I had requested As a result I have asked for estimates for more work to be done indoors.

Rob responded promptly to my initial enquiry to paint and decorate 3 bedrooms. Rob and his team produced work of an extremely high standard and we are delighted with the results. The team arrived on time each day and cleared up efficiently before they left. We found them to be friendly, reliable and trustworthy and have no hesitation in recommending them.

Rob's team decorated hall, stairs and landing to an excellent standard. Based on my satisfaction with that work I engaged Rob to decorate my lounge which was also done to the agreed price, time line and high standard. All treated my home with respect, were courteous and left everything clean and tidy. Will use Rob's firm again.

Rob and his team tackled the big job of redecorating our local churches' vicarage throughout. It was a five bedroom large detached house. They worked well with the vicar to bring this building back from a sorry state to a place which will be a lovely family home.

Only a couple of weeks after initial survey and estimate, this popular company contacted us with a start-date. Rob Read and Team arrived promptly first thing each morning and worked thoroughly and efficiently throughout, including tidy removal and replacement of fittings. The quality and appearance of their work is superb and fairly priced. Our kitchen-diner and bedroom look brand new, renovated. Surfaces were respectfully protected and carefully cleared up at the end of each day. Recommended by our now retired trusted decorator, these workers are consistently pleasant and approachable and genuinely professional. Based on Rob and Team's excellent work, in the New Year, we will definitely ask R Read Decorators to return and decorate our house.

Always arrived on time and started work promptly, very polite and trustworthy. Moved furniture back each evening and removed stair rail, curtain rails etc which was a huge bonus as I live alone. I contacted Rob after a very good recommendation and will have no hesitation to offer him more work and also pass on his details to friends and family.

Decorated a dining room and painted landing, hall and stairs effectively and efficiently. All the team were friendly, helpful and careful in their approach to their work. Would highly recommend.

This is the second time we have used Rob and his team. They are very well organised, give an accurate quote and carry out painting and papering to a high standard. Very pleased.

Thoroughly delighted by hall, stairs and landing decorating job. High caliber tradesmen. Prompt, hardworking, particular and tidy. Yes, men hoovering up at the end of each day. Who knew? Absolutely no hesitation in recommending this fab team and look forward to their next visit.

Rob's team painted my apartment including the living room, hallway, 2 bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom. This was a full paint job i.e. walls, ceiling, skirting, window sills and doorframes. Great experience all around. Rob visited to scope the work and followed up with a competitive quote. His team were professional, turned up on time every day, and did a great job. Highly recommended and would definitely use again.

Used Rob yet again, as good as ever, this time occupied by Jamie who was a pleasure to have in the house, they were very helpful, tidy and trustworthy doing a excellent job with a fair price. What more do you want from tradespeople.

Rob and his team are professional, courteous, efficient and achieve great results, by prepping walls meticulously before starting and then painting with care & precision! They carried out indoor painting and expert wall papering for us and the house now looks rejuvenated! I also appreciated their careful preparation in the areas to be painted, sheeting walls, cupboards, using good floor coverings and clearing up after they had finished for the day. Great work and thanks to you all - highly recommended!
