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.

Steve has just finished repainting the front of our terraced property, (masonry and gloss) having done the same work about 10 years ago to the same excellent standard. He and Vic have repaired chipped windowsills, prepared the surfaces thoroughly and completed the painting with no mess or fuss and with the minimum of upheaval. They work tidily, professionally and cleanly, and are unfailingly polite and friendly.

S C Campbell's Decorating Services repainted all our exterior. The work was carried out with great care and attention to detail. At times it was more restoration than repainting. We were particularly impressed with the preparation and the finish. They were very courteous and efficient at all times. We would not hesitate to use them again and to recommend them.

Typically for me left it too late in 2017 to get the exterior of my house painted having 'run out' of summer. Steve still came in late 2017 gave an estimate and told me that I would be one of his first customers for external work in 2018 should I still wish to proceed. True to his word Steve contacted me in April and began work on 8th May. Steve and his team are reliable, efficient, friendly and professional. They had a bit of a challenge as in places there was more masonry than paint on show. Their work is to a very high standard and they have made an amazing job of rejeuvanting the outside of the house. Steve made sure that he kept me up to date with progress throughout and actually finished a little ahead of schedule. Would definitely use again. Steve likes dogs too which is just a bonus!

We moved into our first home just before Christmas and wanted to decorate 2 reception rooms as well as fitted bookcases/ wardrobes. From our first meet it was clear Steve was experienced and trustworthy, he gave us a competitive quote and a clear start date. Steve and Vic completed the job in 5 days - they were a pleasure to have in our home and highly professional throughout. We are delighted with the end result and will definitely be in touch should we need more work done.

Having been let down in the past by a number of tradespeople, Steve has been such a breath of fresh air. He was quick to give a quote - which was thorough, well considered and realistic. He also gave a clear indication of when he could start and stuck to it - so we could plan accordingly. Both Steve and Vic are professional, a pleasure to have around and real perfectionists. They have done a wonderful job redecorating our entire house and both my husband and I are delighted with the results. Have now asked Steve to come back and paint the outside! Thoroughly recommended.

Steve did a wonderful job decorating our hall and lounge. Over a period of nearly 3 weeks, 20 years of neglected paintwork was transformed with care and attention to detail. It was a pleasure to have Steve and Vic in our home - by the end it was like having family around. Looking forward to having them back in Spring to do the outside work.

Steve and his team did a great job decorating our hall stairs and landing, which is a big job as we live in a townhouse. It was completed to a high standard, on time and was reasonably priced. We found him on this site and all our communications with him were professional and friendly. We felt comfortable to ask him to do the work whilst we were on holiday, so we trusted him with our home and our cat ! Because of this we wouldn't hesitate to ask him back again or recommend him to our friends.

I contacted Steve after seeing the reviews here, he came out to see me within a few days to do a quote and I received it quickly. Steve told me from the beginning that he was fully booked and it would be a few months before he could start, for me that was fine and I was happy for him to fit me in as and when he could do a room. He came to do my bedroom, which required some papering, coving, picture rail and decorating. To say I'm delighted with the result is an understatement, the whole thing was completed in 2.5 days and looks beautiful, definitely worth the wait. The gloss work is so smooth and the paintwork exceptional and Steve made sure everything was done to your satisfaction. I would definitely recommend Steve, you will get a job well done! I can't wait until he does the other rooms.
