About

I have over 30 years of experience across a wide range of projects. I am based in Loughton, Essex, and much of my work is from regular clients, word of mouth and Which Local recommendations. Over the years, many projects have taken me further afield, including London, Suffolk, and Berkshire.

My key areas of expertise are painting and decorating, including wallpapering.

I enjoy the process of discussing and agreeing the best products and finishes to use, in order to achieve results that my clients will be delighted with.

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.

Steve was recommended by a friend. We asked him to paint our stairs and landings which he and Vic completed in good time, leaving all neat and tidy. Would definitely recommend his work and would be glad to employ him again.

I used this company in 2017 to paint a ceiling and then decorate my hall, stairs & landing & was delighted with everything about them which is why I was happy to contact them again. This time, I wanted them to redecorate my kitchen & repaint my lounge ceiling following a leak some time ago and the resulting water stain. They completed the kitchen in 2 days and the lounge ceiling in one and I was delighted with the outcome of both jobs. They were very accommodating, fitting in with my lack of availability, were very professional and I am more than happy to recommend them.

Excellent work from Steve and Vic, painting exterior of two terraced properties. Both were finished to a high standard. Very efficient, unobtrusive and polite service. Steve was very attentive and responsive to my observations and requirements. Many thanks!

Steve provided a quote and then 2 days before starting work he arrived to discuss and try out paint colours. The main body of the work consisted of painting interior walls, skirting boards etc. and removing multiple large screws left from objects that had been hung on the walls, filling and decorating. He was prompt, courteous and very easy to deal with, and encouraged me to look for any items that needed his attention that we may have missed in earlier discussions/inspections. He also evened out a ceiling where there had been water damage from a shower on an upper floor, before painting, as well as reversing badly painted and crumbled stair rail and making it look like new. When walls, window sills or skirting boards required further layers of paint than we'd expected, he completed the work at no extra charge. When he realised that the total job would take him a day less than predicted, he reduced the cost of the work accordingly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

Traditional Exterior House Decoration Done Perfectly

Steve quoted for the exterior redecoration of the outside of my timber windows, semi detached house in Wanstead and was very reasonable compared with other quote I had, he came with Vic and did a fantastic job, filling where necessary and making good. Vic was very tidy ever day clearing up after himself and very polite. Lucky with the weather meant the job was done perfectly to schedule and when they said. Steve helped introduce scaffolders and a carpenter to do some repairs and he stuck to his quote despite it being over a year old and my house looks perfectly lovely. Good communication and took time to clean the windows when the job was finished. Great job.

Steve discussed the work needed beforehand and came at the scheduled time. He used the appropriate paint and techniques and was clean and tidy and careful. I am pleased with the finish and he was a pleasure to have around. He went the extra mile to clean the windows and even did an extra bit of paintwork. I have already booked him for next year!

They’re friendly and trustworthy, and we enjoyed having them around. Would definitely recommend!

Really pleased with external window repair and paint job

My cousin allowed me to use his account to find a decorator in Chingford to paint and repair one outside window. The frame was partially rotten and needed to be repaired and then painted. There had been water ingress internally as well which meant the frame had to be painted inside as well. Steve contacted me very quickly after I had emailed him. Gave a reasonable quote and came round within 2 weeks of the quotation to complete the work. I am really happy with the work completed and will be using Steve's services in the future.

Steve and Vic have just painted the whole interior of our house and everything went very smoothly. They both arrived on time every day and worked constantly and cleanly. Everything was covered and protected from paint. Steve is very helpful, discussing different paint finishes etc. We are really pleased with the work and would one hundred percent recommend Steve and Vic to anyone. Thank you for your hard work.
