R Read Decorators

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!

A great job, thorough and care taken with filling, papering and painting. The team were all very pleasant, thank you to all of you. Jane

Rob and his team painted our kitchen, bathroom and the outer woodwork of the house. Great job, good communication and very trustworthy team. I would highly recommend.

Used Rob and his team, a professional job was done ,quick efficient could not fault there work arrived exactly when they said they would they come highly recommended

Rob and his team painted our new conservatory and tiled the floor. We are very pleased with how the work has turned out. This is the second time we have asked Rob to do some painting and decorating but our first experience of his tiling. He is now our go to tiler as well as painter. I thought the cost of the job was very reasonable and the work was carried out as per schedule. All involved were very friendly throughout.

Rob and his team painted our dining room and painted/decorated our hall, stairs and landing. The whole experience was first class, with the team arriving on time each day and they were friendly and professional throughout. The standard of workmanship was excellent and we are more than satisfied with the end result. We will be using Rob and his team again in the future.

I found Rob's firm through Which? Trusted Traders and was delighted with my choice. The hallway, bathroom and kitchen of my flat were damaged by a water leak from above, so a comprehensive redecoration job was needed. Two members of Rob's team took care of the painting work, which was completed to a high standard, and Rob himself did the hallway wallpaper hanging, with excellent results. I'm extremely pleased with the work and it was a pleasure to have Rob and his colleagues around. Their work is terrific, they left everything in good order, and the service was friendly and professional. Highly recommended.

The fact I waited four months on the waiting list for quite a big job speaks volumes. It was well worth the wait. All the way from the initial quotation to the visit, Rob was professional and responsive. We have a large open plan living, dining and kitchen with high ceilings. The work required was a stain block to seal the nicotine and stains we inherited when we moved in, followed by two coats on all walls, ceilings and woodwork. The wall required repair in places, the attention to detail in preparation was next to none. The woodwork was properly sanded and caulked as required. They were clean and ensured everything was masked and dust-sheets throughout. They arrived on time throughout and ensured they checked our requirements throughout the job. They took me deciding that a couple of feature walls in a different colour just before they started on the first day all in their stride. They used professional paint and ensured they got a colour match to our requirements. I imagine they are not the cheapest available but it really is a case of you get what you pay for. The finish is immaculate and all down to the extensive preparation before painting and the care and attention throughout. I am now back on their waiting list for another job next year and cannot recommend highly enough.

We have used these decorators for many years as they always do a great job! Friendly, reliable, tidy and work to a very high standard. We are always pleased with what they do.

Work that was done many years ago still looks good today and recent work included great attention to detail to resolve a problem of mould to find a solution for the long term. Gets work done efficiently with minimum disruption. Highly recommended.

Rob re-decorated our living room, painting walls, ceiling and woodwork, and made some repairs to the wallpaper before painting it. We are delighted with the finished result, it looks superb; the work was done efficiently, finished within the time predicted and there was no mess for us to clear up. His price was very competitive, and we would happily recommend him to anybody. We are so pleased that we have asked for a quote for decorating the outside of our house.

Rob and Aidan have just painted the outside of our property and we are really pleased. They’ve done a great job, they are efficient, finished on time and really nice people. We will definitely use them again!

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.

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!

Rob and his team painted the whole exterior of my Mother's five bedroom house. There were a team of four and the works were completed in a week and a half. I can not thank them enough.... professional & hardworking, leaving no mess. I would have no hesitation in recommending them and I know we will use them again in the future. Regards Ian Rawlings

Rob and his team painted the whole of the exterior and interior of our house over three weeks. The quality of their preparation work, papering and painting work was very high. 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 was recommended to me by my mother who had used for years. This is the second occasion we have used him and his team, as previously they have completed a first class job, being friendly, professional and efficient. Just leave them to get on with the job, no problem with going out, full trust in them, they keep things tidy, whilst working very hard

Rob and his crew completely repainted our flat. He was helpful and responded quickly to questions and we felt confident leaving him during the day to get on with the job. Helpful with moving furniture and did a good professional job

The 2 lads that came did a first class job of painting 3 room in my house, would use them again. Very tidy and always cleaned up after the days work

Can't recommend Rob and his team highly enough. This is the second time I've used his services and the attention to detail is excellent, the preparation is first class and the finish second to none. His team is made up of very talented people who are a pleasure to have around. I'd recommend you give him a try.

All round good work. Recommend.
