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.

Excellent work - as always

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.

Have used Steve several times over the last few years. Steve and Vic painted and wall papered our daughters bedroom. Did a great job as usual. Kept to time and budget. Would definitely recommend.

I am really pleased with the work from Steve and Vic, they are most professional with their attention to detail, leaving everywhere clean and tidy before they left each evening. Delightful to have them working at my house. The agreed schedule was on time and Steve's estimate was what I paid. He was helpful at our first meeting, his colleague Vic was very hard working, always on time, no regrets at my choice of painters.

I've used Steve's services before, and had no hesitation in asking him to do the painting of the front of my mum's house where a window bay had just been repaired and patched. Steve was excellent in replying to the initial enquiry and keeping me informed about when able to start. On the day he and colleague Vic did another excellent job and made me and mum very happy. Punctual, friendly, great finish and good value. Highly recommended.

Steve did a great job in getting rid of the old, messy, flaky paint on my balcony wall, patching up the surface and painting. Perfect timekeeping and communications. He squeezed in my job inbetween bigger projects and worked hard to complete the job in super quick time. Top job - thank you!

Steve decorated my hall, stairs and landing, and living room. All done to agreed budget with a few minor adjustments made and agreed as the job went along. Steve covered furniture etc, with thought given to the environment - reducing use of plastic sheeting where possible. Before he left I asked him to quote for other areas of the house - including external - which need redecorating. He left, then came back in to clean windows in the front door again, as he wasn't satisfied with it. Have recommended him to a neighbour already!

I needed a reception area and landing painted before Christmas at short notice and Steve managed to fit the work in. I found Steve to be reliable and professional. He showed up on the dates and times agreed. His quote was clear and competitive and the work was completed to a high standard and to the pre-agreed budget. He also managed to complete the work within the allocated days agreed. I found Steve to be courteous and he was a tidy worker, which allowed us to continue our day-to-day lives with minimal impact. I will definitely be using Steve’s services in future and have no issue in recommending his work to others.

Steve decorated two bedrooms and our upstairs passageway. From the outset he listened carefully to our requests and advised us on the best way to achieve what we were after. He also took the time to advise on various types of paint and materials with which to do the job – helping us to reduce costs in the process. Steve works to incredibly high standards and we are delighted with the results. The work was also completed on time and to budget – which was important to us – and we would have no hesitation recommending him.

Steve painted our front room, dining room, kitchen and hallway with assistance from coworker Vic. They were punctual, professional and very friendly. Steve and Vic transformed walls which had been affected by leaks, as well as re-plastered walls and yellowing woodwork. I am very impressed with the quality of work and would highly recommend!

Steve and Vic carried out an admirable job decorating the exterior of our house. Our house is a Victorian detached property with wooden sash windows which had not been painted for many years. They did a thorough job preparing old flaking paint and filling rotten woodwork prior to the painting.
