Excellent job done
We used Which Trusted Traders to select Read Decorators to carry out full external paint work including minor repairs to door frames and plaster work. We were not disappointed in this choice. Read Decorators lived up to the reputation that Trusted Traders expects. The work was done to a very high standard; the finish is excellent and the repairs were well done. The residues were removed and everything was left in a tidy state. Importantly, the final invoice matched the (much) earlier estimate exactly. As a result of this work we now intend to commission Read Decorators for the larger internal decoration that is probably overdue. No hesitation at all in recommending Mr Read. Top marks.

Another Great Job!
I have used Rob and his team for over 12 years during which time they have painted both the exterior and interior of my house. Each time the work has been carried out to the highest standard, completed on time and at a fair price. I have recommended his services to several friends who have also been very pleased with his work.

Great, professional and friendly service
Rob and his team were great. We had a new loft conversion, two existing bedrooms, and the hallway and stairs from top to bottom painted in just 4 days of solid work. From initial first visit to quote, through to completion of the job, Rob and his team delivered what they said they would do, on time, and to an excellent standard. Unlike other traders that we have used, it felt like Rob and his team delivered a service that they would expect in their own homes - really strong attention to detail, clean, and courteous. I will definitely use Rob for other rooms in my house now!

They were friendly, arrived on time every day and cleaned up the house before they left. We felt confident leaving them to work in the house on their own while we were at work. The final invoice was in line with what Rob had estimated for the job. Highly recommend them.

Rob and his team have just painted my sitting and dinning rooms. They stripped, and, when necessary, plastered and filled holes in the walls and skirting boards before lining and painting. The result was excellent. They worked hard and very effectively as a team. They were very friendly, gave good advice and were very tidy. They even put trial patches of similar coloured paint (from the back of their van) on the walls so that I could make my final choice. I have used them twice in the past and I will definitely use them again. Incidentally the two R Reads on the Which Local website are the same. Rob lives at 53 Field Lane, B32 3JT. His mother lives at the other address. Please delete the latter but not her phone number as she answers calls for him.

We used Rob and his team to decorate a bedroom, the bathroom and the kitchen after reading several reviews on Which Local. This included walls, woodwork and radiators. They stripped and prepped all the walls before lining and painting. It took them just 4 1/2 days work, which was very impressive and achieved through working very effectively as a team. All the team were friendly, punctual, neat and tidy. We did not feel at all inconvenienced having them around. We have a professional decorator friend who was unable to do this job, and have also undertaken our own decorating in the house - so are clear on what we expect in terms of standards. Rob and his team did a superb job throughout, and we are thrilled with the results. He also fitted us in quickly at our request. We have no hesitation in recommending Rob.

He and his team of two were very friendly, arrived promptly each day and completed the job to a high standard. The job included stripping old paint and sanding down on exterior doors and woodwork around bay windows, including crenellations, and the bargeboards and gable. A window ledge that was discovered to be in a poor condition was completely repaired and restored. Prior to the work being carried out Rob kept us informed about when the scaffolding would be erected and the start date. Overall I am very pleased with the finished result.
