S C Campbell's Decorating Services

Steve and his co-worker painted the exterior wood work, masonry, and garage doors of my 2 storey house. The original quote detailed all the work, specified how surfaces would be prepared, and named the products to be used. I found this very useful in choosing Steve to do the job, and was very pleased with the finished work. Steve and Vic were both very easy to work with, being friendly and helpful, offering suggestions and advice. They even painted a few extras that I hadn't specified as they 'had some paint left'! Communication was good, and they arrived promptly each day. I am delighted to have found Steve, and have no hesitation in recommending him, he did a brilliant job.

Steve has recently painted the outside of my house and garage. He helpfully organised the scaffolding and used this to ensure the best finish in his work. In addition to the agreed project Steve identified issues with my garage doors and has addressed these. On request he also mended some guttering. Steve was always punctual and polite and he tidied up at the end of each day. I am very happy with the work which has been completed and with Steve's willingness to look at other issues and seek solutions. I would not hesitate to use Steve for future projects.

The job was to paint the refresh the exterior of a two storey house (soffits, fascias and masonry) which had been neglected for some time. Lots of fiddly woodwork and parts challenging to access due to height and various obstructions. Work was done very efficiently and to a very high standard, with the soffits and fascias looking like they were new when done. Punctual, communicative, considerate and friendly throughout. Went the extra mile in removing guttering when roofers did not turn up. From getting the quote to tidying up afterward, the good price, a great experience all round. Highly recommended!

Stephen had previously worked for me a couple of months earlier and I was pleased with the work he carried out. He paid two more visits to me again, first towards the end of March, to prime and seal my landing ceiling and to strip the wallpaper off on a section of the wall that had got damp and discoloured, due to the continued rain we have been having. He came again on 22nd April, to paint over the sealed landing ceiling, and to put new wallpaper down. He did an excellent job and at the end, negotiated a very reasonable price. He is extremely pleasant and put me at my ease when I expressed concerns about the work, and very easy to contact on the phone. He will ring back more or less straight away if he isn't available at the time of my phone call to him.

Steve and his colleague Vick recently painted our ceiling after it had been replaced. They also repaired some of the wallpaper that had been damaged during the ceiling removal. Vick did a fantastic job of cleaning up the line between the existing wallpaper and the new coving which had was now slightly higher than the old ceiling. He also repainted two of the walls and the wood around the window seat. Steve was unfazed with our request for them to use a completely VOC free paint. They even came back to rectify a problem the builder had made with the coving. Overall we were very pleased and will definitely use them again for any future decorating work.

Steve painted my landing ceiling, removed wallpaper, and re-wallpapered a couple of walls on my landing. While he was in the process of removing the wallpaper from one of the walls, some plaster came loose. Steve was completely unfazed by this, and calmly applied fresh plaster, allowing it to dry, before applying the fresh wallpaper. He was extremely pleasant and easy to talk to about the job I needed done and put me at ease. He was fast and just took one day to complete a really lovely job. I will have no hesitation in asking him back for other decorating jobs I may have in the future.

This was the first time we used Steve and we would definitely use him again. He was always on time and the work was done to a very high standard. We would highly recommend using his services.

I contacted a couple of painters to obtain quotes to paint my flat but S C Campbells were considerably cheaper that their competitors. I was a little nervous that that might mean I was compromising on quality but I needn't have worried; the painting was done to an excellent standard. Moreover, I was orginally told the work would be completed in 7 working days, Steve then estimated 6 days but in the end it only took 5 allowing us to move back in 4 days earlier! Steve made the effort to come round to view the property before work started which was a great help allowing me to discuss a few final points with him face to face. He was then good enough to come again to pick up the keys before work started to avoid difficulties because of the tube strike. Unfortunately a small piece of the work was missed. However, Steve came within the week to rectify this and I saw at first hand his attention to detail. Throughout the work, Steve was pleasant and polite. He was kind enough to leave me some tape for putting up decorations to avoid damaging the new paintwork. Steve has mentioned that he is very busy and to be honest I am not surprised! All in all, I have no hesitation at all in recommending Steve and will definitely go back to him in the future should I need any further painting doing.

Steve and Vic have just redecorated my entire bungalow and it was well worth the wait (due to them being much in demand). Leaving aside the fact that they are a pleasure to have in the house, the standard of preparation and finish was beyond my expectation. A great job with excellent advice and communication throughout and all at a very fair cost. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

This is the third time I have used Steve and I certainly expect to use him again. His work is excellent and he is most pleasant to have around the house. I have recommended him to friends.
