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.

Fantastic job of decoration work of large hallway and stairs

Steve did a fantastic job of decoration the hallway and stairs of our 3 storey Victorian house, including stripping the (many layers of) old wallpaper, plastering and filling cracks, re-lining the walls and then painting them. He also painting all the woodwork, including all the many spindles of the bannisters and all the doors. He and his helpmate Vic always arrived early every morning and worked steadily throughout the day. They hoovered and tidied up daily any mess that had been made. Steve’s quote was very reasonable and he was knowledgeable and helpful when advice was needed. Both Steve and Vic were very friendly and pleasant people and easy to get on with. They did such a great job that we have engaged them to come back and decorate our living room in the Spring and we would thoroughly recommend Steve for all decorating jobs.

Steve did a great job on some interior painting work. He was recommended to us through my sister and did not disappoint - he is very professional, polite and accommodating, fitting us in before Christmas with a room we needed done urgently. His work was good quality and good value. We look forward to working with him again.

I work as an interior colour consultant and met Steve for the first time after reading his reviews on this site and putting him in touch with my client. He quoted promptly and clearly for the project, which included preparing and painting a hallway, a staircase, plus wallpapering and painting a bedroom. We were immediately struck by his knowledge, attention to detail and his honesty. His quote was very reasonable, despite there being a large amount of preparation required. The work was completed on schedule, on budget and the results are amazing. Steve has been a pleasure to work with. He gets on with the job without fuss, gives great advice, is wonderfully tidy and a skilled decorator. I would not hesitate to recommend him for any project.

From start to finish a great experience. On site visit by Steve and Vic to assess the job required, and then the quotation provided the same evening. It was great to have our exterior painting job (front house wall, storm porch and garage surround) carried out in what remains of the good weather. The wall also had its cracks repaired and filled, and the woodwork sanded down so that it all resulted in a great finish. Professional, prompt and tidy - nice people to do business with and would recommend without hesitation.

Steve and Victor decorated the interior of my flat. I had made several alterations to my flat. They rose to the challenge and made good all the bits of replaced plaster board and holes left by other trades. The finish was flawless no sign of the work carried out by the other trades. I found them to be professional and trustworthy. Ann

Professional, Reliable, Punctual and Friendly I asked Steve for a quote to repaint my bedroom and bathroom ceiling because my previous decorator could not complete the work due to ill health. He replied promptly with a reasonable quote for the work compared to other decorators. Steve was very accommodating and empathetic regarding my situation- nothing was too much trouble. Great job. Highly recommended.

Steve and Vic did a great job on painting the exterior doors, windows and masonry on our three storey house. Some of the woodwork around the windows and French doors was rotten and this was replaced / repaired. Steve kept us informed of progress and both he and Vic were professional and courteous. Job finished timely and all debris cleared. We've used Steve in the past for interior decorating but this is the first external job. Will definitely use him again.

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.
