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.

We recently moved into a house which required extensive work as the exterior rendered paintwork had several cracks and damage, and was generally needing a thorough overhaul. All woodwork was also in desperate need of attention. We contacted Steve for a quote. He was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and efficient from the beginning. He listened to our requirements, made helpful suggestions to improve, then gave us a detailed quote. During the work he was reliable, hardworking, and discussed each stage of the work. Steve is a careful and tidy worker who cleared everything neatly at the end of each day and the end of the project. He is a cheery and thoughtful individual. Several times he offered to do additional things which had not been included in the original quote, but further embellished the result. The work was finished on time and for the price quoted. We are delighted with the outcome. We intend to use Steve later in the year for additional internal decoration.

Steve painted and wallpapered my new office space and it looks fantastic. He took great care in prepping our rather shabby walls so they looked really great once painted! He’s also a really nice chap to talk to! We’d use his services again without hesitation.

Steve has recently carried out interior and exterior decorating on my property, helpfully organising the scaffolding that was needed. Steve carried out the work with great care to achieve the best possible results. I found Steve very friendly, approachable, reliable, and honest. He was so helpful and went out of his way to find the best solutions for any problems that arose at a fair price. Steve is a very skilled, tidy decorator. I cannot recommend him highly enough and will definitely choose him for any further decorating work.

Steve came around got me the quote for work. He gave us the quote and then arranged when it could be done. Although not the cheapest quote, it was reasonable and the quality of the work was worth it. Vic did the work and was excellent. No issues and no problems. The room looks great and they were able to cover over some wall damage effectively. Would definitely use them again.

Having been let down by other traders, Steve arrived on time to give a competitive quote for painting the outside of my house. Good job of rubbing down, priming, undercoat and finish coats of tudor beams and render. Always on time, good job done, no mess made, reasonable price, what more could be asked?

We have used Steve a number of times (he's also worked at my Mums property). The highlights are, - The work he carries out is to a high standard - Always on time and budget - My home is always left scrupulously clean - I trust him and therefore leave him the keys when we go away I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Steve is fantastic! Very professional, friendly and tidy. He worked on the painting of our living room, dining room and kitchen walls. The finish is excellent, he is extremely mindful when doing the prep work to achieve the best end result. We booked Steve for the second time following the great work he did on the exterior areas of our house (external doors, fences etc). Budgeting and communication is very straightforward. When carrying out both projects we found him very knowledgeable and appreciated the suggestions offered to best achieve the brief. I highly recommend him and will be booking him again.

Steve painted our main bedroom, hall, stairs and landing, kitchen and large through lounge/dining room. He was very flexible, starting the work at the beginning of November and breaking it down into areas to allow us to 'get straight' in between rooms and, of course to enjoy Christmas. He is very personable and completely trustworthy. We had no worries about leaving him alone at the house with a key. Steve is meticulous in his work and is one of the fastest and tidiest painters we have ever experienced. He also went out of his way to fix some peeling ceiling paint in our bathroom and has offered to come back again to remedy the situation if necessary. We would highly recommend Steve and would not consider using anyone else for any future work.

Redecorating Kitchen and Lobby

Asked Mr Campbell to quote for two jobs because of Trusted Trader status and excellent reviews. He rang back promptly and arranged to come round. Steve took the time to discuss the options with us and sent prices quickly. We felt these were very reasonable, and within a fortnight he was able to give us a starting date for the kitchen/lobby. Strip wallpaper from small lobby, repaint woodwork there, make good surfaces in kitchen and repaint walls and ceilings throughout. Steve was courteous and easy to have around, important as we were at home all the time. We were very pleased with the work he did and have asked him to schedule our second job (redecorate landing and bathroom).

Steve and Vick were extremely professional and also helped us make good decisions, such as wall paper and matching colour. We had three rooms decorated and all work was undertaken to a very high standard. On time and punctual, very tidy. Highly recommend.
