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.

They're a very pleasant person to deal with and the process of assessing and discussing the work was not rushed at all. I have a number of surfaces (including a resin floor, kitchen units and some furniture) that I was worried about protecting and I was very pleased at the care that was taken in the preparation work to ensure their safety. This professionalism continued into the preparation of the walls and the actual painting and I'm really very pleased with the final finish. Overall highly recommended!

They wallpapered my large hall and landing. He is a friendly genuine person and his quality of work, attention to detail and timekeeping was excellent. He went out of his way to ensure that I was happy with the work at every stage and was happy to answer any of my questions and explain things in detail. The finished product is excellent and was carried at a very reasonable price (he charged for consumables at cost providing the receipts). I will certainly use him again for any future projects and would recommend him to anyone without any reservations whatsoever.

This is the second time that we have used Steve. Steve gave us a very reasonable quote for painting our main bedroom and lounge, touching up the paintwork in our second bedroom and hallway, and painting all woodwork in the hallway. Steve and Vick are helpful, thorough and considerate and we are very happy with the end result of their work - the rooms are looking great and all work was completed on time. We would recommend them and have booked them in to paint our kitchen next.

We are really delighted with the work carried out for us by Steve. Steve produced a very competitive quotation for the preparation and decoration of two large bedrooms, the hall, stairs and first floor landing. He was friendly and professional throughout, arriving on time every morning. He gave good advice on colour schemes and how to match materials to get the effect we wanted. All the work areas were effectively protected while the work was carried out. A great deal of care and attention went into preparation of the surfaces, including dealing with water damage and areas of damp. The house was always left clean and tidy with all materials cleared away and stored securely at the end of each day's painting. Steve has been most accommodating, fitting in with our requirements. He was flexible in our last minute requests to make alterations to the planned works and to complete additional work not originally quoted for. Nothing was too much trouble. All of the work was completed on time and to a very high standard. We are delighted with the end result and would happily recommend Steve to our friends and family and will use him again when we require further decoration services.

Just wanted the exterior woodwork spruced up on my house. Steve was on time and worked hard. Actually done more than he had quoted for to create a better overall appearance. Rain upset his plans but he returned on the Saturday to finish the job.

Engaged Steve to paint the exterior of my house purely based on reviews. Not disappointed. He is a very polite, experienced, reliable and tidy tradesman. Extremely pleased with the quality of his work. Someone who listens to classical music whilst he paints, and drinks peppermint tea, was a pleasant surprise!

I am thrilled with the work Vick has done painting the exterior of our Victorian house; window casements and sills, rendering, mouldings, front door, architrave and doorstep all done beautifully, following what I think was a very reasonable quote from Steve. The house hadn’t been painted for several years so it was looking very rough. Now it looks fabulous. Steve and Vick are skilled, professional, friendly, interesting and just really pleasant to deal with.

Steve painted our upstairs windows, which were previously looking cracked and old. Now, they look as good as new. Steve was friendly and professional throughout and cleared up thoroughly after the job. We also had issues with the weather but Steve was happy to accommodate to make sure the job was done properly.

Steve and his colleague Vic did some comprehensive decorating work to the front, back and side elevations of our house. This covered fascia boards and soffits, masonry walls, all woodwork including the garage doors and painting the porch floor. The work was carefully planned and was carried out to an excellent standard and on time. All the work areas were protected and left tidy at the end of the day. Both Steve and Vic were very friendly, helpful and a pleasure to have around. We are very pleased with the outcome and we will be happy to use Steve again whenever the need arises.
