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 and his colleague Vic worked hard and produced an excellent result painting my house exterior despite some awful weather. They were interesting people and completely trustworthy as well as being very professional. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

We contacted Steve as we needed our new bathroom painted. Steve's communication was excellent from start to finish. His attention to detail is commendable and resulted in a really good end result. We would happily recommend Steve to anyone and will definitely use him again.

Steve and his colleague Vic painted the outside of our house. They did an excellent and professional job despite some terrible weather and other assorted difficulties (my changes in some colour choices etc.) They are very nice people; friendly, cheerful and interesting. They were a pleasure to have around. We left for a few days during the job and they had access to the house, which was absolutely fine. The costs were very reasonable. I would recommend them and hope to have Steve back to paint our large front room.

Steve did an amazing job painting my front room, wall to wall bookcase, hallway and landing. The quality of the work was excellent and he was most helpful with his advice. I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking of having work done. He was punctual, friendly and hardworking with a real care shown towards his work. Will definitely be asking him back again for more work.

My daughter recently purchased a flat which had to be decorated throughout and needed to be done with some urgency. I have always done my own decorating but I am now of the age where it takes me longer to do and I find some jobs difficult. In all honesty I was dreading getting somebody in I did not know. So I turned to trusted traders and selected a few, Steve amongst them. Steve was the only one that provided me with a complete breakdown regarding labour and cost of materials. I contacted Steve and informed him of the situation I was in and to say he went out of his way to help would be an understatement. Steve arrived at my daughters flat and we went through everything in detail. Steve even worked weekends to help finish the job for us. Steve was punctual and did everything we asked. His work was excellent. We trusted him with the keys to the property and he left it clean and tidy when he had finished. Steve was a gem find and we will most certainly be using him again. I have no hesitation what so ever in recommending him. His estimate for the work carried out I felt was extremely reasonable. Thank you Steve.

Steve has recently decorated our hall, stairs and landing. He also did some external painting work for us. Steve consulted us throughout the work, and it was carried out to a high standard. He is a very friendly person, and we were happy to leave him in our home. We would certainly use him again, and have no hesitation in recommending him.
