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 impressed me from the beginning. Turned up on time and very pleasant to deal with. A reasonable quote plus most importantly he did an amazing job. Very efficient and house looked great afterwards. All in all, very happy and would definitely recommend him.

I had the wooden sash windows at the front and back of the house repaired, where needed, and painted. A couple of the windows were stuck and these were freed and I now have fully functioning windows again. Vic carried out all of the work and every evening the house was left tidy and secure. Both Steve and Vic were friendly, polite and helpful and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them, as long as it doesn't impact on their availability for my next decorating job! Thank you both for a beautiful job very well done.

I found Steve on Which? and decided to call him based on the excellent reviews; it was a very good decision. Steve's colleague Vik carried out virtually all of the work. I was really impressed with the care and attention that went into the preparation and I'm delighted with the end result. I will definitely be asking Steve and Vik back to work their magic in the rest of the house.

Arranged with Steve to prepare & paint the exterior timber and rendering of my house. He was very professional, punctual and diligent. His work is top quality. He highlighted and addressed any defects rather than covering them up. He is somebody I would certainly call again for any such work.

Steve was brilliant! He was punctual every morning and worked solidly all day! He painted our kitchen, lounge, hallway, bedroom and bathroom in 4 1/2 days. There were lots of dark colours in the house before, painted woodwork and a black glittery bathroom ceiling which he has painted over. The house looks fresh and so much brighter! He protected all the furniture and flooring and his price was really reasonable! We really recommend Steve!

The work that Steve carried out in our bathroom and bedroom was fantastic. His professional work ethic and friendly demeanour meant it was a pleasure to have him here each day. He was punctual and the work area was always kept clean and tidy. The quality of the work done was excellent and Steve was able to expertly deal with the crumbling plaster on our walls. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him. Am looking forward to seeing him on the next job!

It was my lucky day when I asked Steve for a quote for painting my conservatory and kitchen. He is a really nice person to have around the house, a neat and tidy worker. All areas were covered before commencing work. His attention to detail was amazing. The quality of his work is exceptional. He was always punctual and worked hard. I will not be using any other painter/ decorator while he is available. He has given me a quote for painting my lounge and dining room which he will do early 2021. I would have no hesitation in recommending him and have already advised friends regarding his professionalism.

Steve and Vince carried out painting to external pipe work and window sills. They turned up on time and carried out the work to a high standard and were considerate, polite and hard working completing the work whilst keeping us advised of exactly what they were doing. Steve then returned to carry out painting to woodwork and kitchen walls and ceiling. His preparation and protection of all surfaces was excellent. He carried out the work to an equally high standard over two days. After finishing this work he cleared all items and even cleaned and vacuumed the kitchen floor. We will be calling upon Steve’s services again in future and on the basis of our experience would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Steve and Vic were great to deal with. The work was carried out to a high standard, on time and on budget. The kitchen / lounge was painted with two colours and Steve made a great suggestion regarding this. Vic’s work was meticulous and areas kept tidy. When one of the colours was not right (my error), the issue was dealt with- with minimum fuss and hassle. I shall be using SC Campbell again and have already recommended them to friends.

We are repeat customers of Steve and are always happy to use him and would thoroughly recommend him because he always does an excellent job. In March this year he came again and decorated two of the bedrooms in our house. I didn’t (but should have) left a review at the time, as we were delighted with the very good work he did, which he managed to finish just ahead of lockdown. This week Steve returned to work on the outside of our downstairs bay window, fixing and cementing cracks and painting it, to weatherproof it ahead of winter. As always he did an excellent job to a very high standard. We shall employ him again in the Spring to decorate the rest of the outside of our house.
