About

I pride myself on bespoke painting & wallpaper hanging. Robert Easton decorating was established back in 1998 after serving my full apprenticeship with PCC and gaining a City & Guilds in painting & decorating. I then spent 6 years with Beaver Homes on new builds in the St Mellion area of Cornwall.

In 1998 self employment beckoned. My first contract was with Niel Bryant interiors, bespoke hanging of designer wallpaper in many exclusive homes. Other projects have included shop/office, public houses refurbishments and period buildings restoration.

My work is always of the highest quality and I pride myself on attention to detail. No job is too big or too small, I am able to travel throughout the South West, Devon and Cornwall.

We first met Robert when he was recommended to us. We had had significant work done on our living room and he finished the room with expert painting and wallpaper hanging. The room looks wonderful. Robert also helped put right another refurbishment that hadn’t ended well. His knowledge and advice was invaluable. Robert is a friendly personable man who takes great pride in his work. I would heartily recommend him

Decoration of Landing Hall and Stairs, Victorian House

Robert redecorated the landing, hall and stairs of our house. His work was meticulous, thorough in preparation (including helping us source additional trade’s assistance for carpentry refurbishment) and to an excellent finished standard and attention to detail. We couldn’t be more delighted with the end result. Robert’s costing was on a fixed fee basis and when we asked for additional work outside of scope he was happy to be flexible and quote for the additional items. Robert always attended at the property when scheduled and we trusted him to have a key. Work was completed on budget and on schedule. Robert was a pleasure to have working daily in the house for a number of weeks. We are already planning the next work that we would like him to do and have no hesitation in providing a five star review for his services.

I chose Robert Easton Decorating because he had one hundred percent five star reviews on Which. Robert decorated a study and bedroom for me, and I was very impressed with the quality of his work and the finished product. He provided accurate detailed quotes on time and carried out the work on schedule and on the agreed days. His experience is reflected in the high quality of his wallpaper hanging and painting and I would not hesitate to recommend him. I have already been booked him to decorate another bedroom.

Robert did an amazing job on my flat. He communicated well and made sure I was kept in the loop with progress…he was also very accommodating to my slightly indecisive decision making on the paint I wanted, getting me lots of samples to look at. I’m really happy with the results, my flat is quite old but he made every effort to spend time on all the unusual skirting boards, arches and alcoves. I’d highly recommend Robert, a hard worker and very friendly!

Robert has just completed a large job for us, decorating two bathrooms, dining room and living room. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He arrived to start the job at the agreed time and date. He worked around us, helping to organise and move furniture. Each room was left so clean that I had no need to get out the vacuum cleaner. The invoice was as in his estimate. Above all, the outstanding feature is the quality of the finished work.

Excellent decorator

I found Robert through Which? Trusted Traders and he has been excellent in every way. He kept to his initial quote. He repainted the interior of the whole house walls and ceilings. The ceilings had been painted by a "cowboy" (recommended to me by another contractor working on my house) and Robert went to a lot of time and trouble to put their errors right. The house, which I recently moved into, had not been decorated for many years and Robert was exceptionally thorough in the preparation of all the walls and the woodwork. Unlike some who gave me a quote he is more than happy to use Farrow and Ball paint and not try and tell you "Leyland Trade is just as good and I can get a colour match" His work is of the highest standard and he has transformed the house. He is a very highly skilled decorator and is honest and very professional. I am delighted with the finished result and cannot recommend Robert highly enough.

Robert was recommended to us for a total house repaint. He visited our house and discussed the work and provided a prompt quote. Robert has now repainted the entire house, he was very professional, good attention to detail, worked with minimum disruption to us.

Robert's work was of high quality and an excellent finish. He was clean and tidy, really knowledgeable and helpful, great at problem solving and project managing too. Also kept me fully briefed on progress and costs. I can recommend Robert and will use him again.

Exterior House Repairs and Painting

We booked Rob last year to repair and decorate the exterior of our detached 4 bedroom house, the garage wall and garden wall. COVID-19 restrictions meant 2020 was out of the question but he duly contacted us earlier this year (2021) and asked if we still wanted the work done; which we did. He arranged for the scaffolding to be put up, and then spent a week on the property repairing and treating the render and then painting the walls and window sills. He did an excellent job of it all; he even removed the guttering so he wouldn’t get any paint splashes on it. He left the house looking like it had just been built! An excellent workman all round, he used top quality materials and went the ‘extra mile’ in making the house look great. We also found Rob to be a very likeable and personable man who delivers on what he says he will do. I would recommend Rob to anyone who wants this sort of work carried out.

We had employed Robert to decorate our hall and stairs during the summer. We were so impressed with the finish that we asked him to do a couple more rooms for us. As before, the job was done with precision. Robert works quickly and quietly and is a really pleasant person to have in the house. He is so tidy and the job was finished on time. We are already planning for him to do another couple of rooms which we might otherwise have done ourselves. Wholeheartedly recommended!

Robert is a charming, funny and honest young man. He finished our work ahead of schedule working long hours and was incredibly clean and tidy. He's a bit of a perfectionist and it really shows in the pride he takes in everything he does. He's a joy to have around and comes across as a very happy and honest man. He is competitively priced and I recommend that you use him, whatever your requirements. Unlike many, he will give you a true assessment of the work necessary and a realistic time scale and fair price. I am so pleased we found him and I know you will be too.

We will be inviting him to decorate our kitchen in the near future. Highly recommended.

Rob returned in March 2017 to re-do some decorating that had been affected by other work we were having done. This was done to the same high standard.
