S C Campbell's Decorating Services

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.

Very pleased with the renovation of my wooden porch and front door. Steve and his associate Vic worked very professionally and to a high quality. I am delighted with the work they have done. Many compliments from the neighbours! The communication about the work was excellent . They arrived on time, worked very hard and left everything tidy at the end of each day. I would have no hesitation in recommending Steve to others for any external or internal decorating work.

I was very impressed with the work carried out - it was thorough and quick. It was also reasonably priced. Thanks again.

After visiting, Steve (who appeared knowledgable and well experienced) provided a reasonable estimate. On the agreed date Steve and his co-worker Vic meticulously prepared and repainted the wooden conservatories and its masonry. Throughout they were courteous, friendly, helpful and on time, working through a full day, tidying up after themselves as they went along. The work was completed to time, to a high standard and within the estimate. I am happy to recommend Steve for any decorating work and in fact have asked him to redecorate another area for me in the near future.

Steve had popped round previously and we discussed the job which was to have the outside of the house painted. He explained which materials he would be using and why. On day one and throughout the job Steve arrived promptly at 7.30 every day with his co-worker Vic and they got going immediately! They are very hard (and cheerful) workers and a pleasure to have around, very helpful in explaining different situations and with liaising with my carpenter who needed to replace some fascia boards. They were clean and tidy in their work and in the evening all paint/tools etc were put away neatly. The work was completed a week earlier than scheduled and to budget. I am absolutely delighted with the job and would employ Steve again for any other decorating work I need done in the future.

Steve did an excellent job decorating the main bedroom, after stripping the walls ,which was quite a job, he lined the walls and painted them plus the woodwork . He worked through on the hottest day of the year which was no mean feat. Steve is very easy to deal with and very helpful and professional and is coming back for further work in the near future. We would recommend Steve without hesitation.

Steve came over with his co-worker to refinish some external wooden window frames and doors. We were very pleased with the work, the wood was stripped back to bare state as agreed (quite a job for one of the doors which had layers of old varnish and wood stain), prepared, and finished with a base wood stain, and two-three layers of durable wood varnish over the next couple of days. The result is a great high quality finish, which reflects the care put into the work. The working area was also tidied each day. Steve and partner were friendly and put my elderly mother at ease as well, which was much appreciated. Definitely recommended.

Used Steve's services several years ago - large exterior wall. Commissioned him this year to paint new long external fencing (back garden); new shed: front fencing (small front garden); front door. Good preparation on one day in the week before meant the work was done efficiently within a week. He was also helpful in giving advice on paints to use. Site was left tidy and clean Was very satisfied and have commissioned him further to undertake the decoration of my study.

We asked Steve to repaint our handmade kitchen cabinets. They hadn't been painted for some time as we were worried about the quality of finish that could be achieved by hand. Despite being very busy, Steve managed to quote promptly for the work and we were struck by his knowledge and professional approach. He set a date with us to carry out the work and completed the work on time and on budget. The results are fantastic! He took such care with every detail of the job and the finish is perfect and not a brush mark in site. He was also very tidy and respectful of our home. In addition to his skill as a painter, Steve is a lovely person and we would not hesitate to have him in our home again.

Steve re-painted the walls and woodwork in my loft room. This work was completed within agreed timescales and at the price quoted in the estimate. I was impressed by the high standard of Steve's work and his attention to detail. His preparation was thorough and the work was undertaken with care and in a very logical order, leading to a great finish. Steve applied a number of coats to all surfaces, in some cases doing more than had been agreed to get the right result; he also took a pragmatic approach to help resolve an unforeseen issue with a leaking window frame. Steve is clearly someone you can trust to be in your home and I had no hesitation in leaving him to get on with this job at times when I was out. Steve probably isn't the cheapest decorator you will find, but if you are looking for someone who you can completely trust to do a very professional job and, overall, who offers good value, you have no need to look any further.

Steve did a wonderful job in rescuing my bathroom from an attack of black mould and brightening up my dismal peeling kitchen! He treated and painted both rooms beautifully and has really made both bathroom and kitchen look bright and inviting. The transformation is a miracle! Delighted with the results.

Our bedroom was a real challenge for decorating. Not only wonky walls, as is typical in many Victorian houses, but with a repaired damp patch under a window and around the chimney, and a burn from a fire in the roof! Steve was quick and efficient at waving his magic paintbrush, and the room looks lovely. We enjoyed his company while he was here. We will be using his services again and we do recommend him.

We had Steve and Vic in our home for around 2 weeks and what a wonderful job they did, I had my hallway, 2 landings, dinning room and lounge painted and all my old woodwork including all skirting boards and 2 sets of french doors also 2 staircases transformed from oak to lovely white gloss. They work tirelessly and are extremely friendly and having them in our home for 2 weeks was fine you hardly notice they are there and clean up well after working also making sure all my furniture was covered well to protect it. I was more than happy with the cost as well considering the amount of work I had done so on this note I would recommend them to anyone I know and shall be calling them again when I next need any work to be carried out.

We found Steve on Trusted Traders and he has just finished carrying out considerable redecoration both inside and outside our house, and we would not consider anyone else if we needed similar work carried out in the future. We found both Steve and his assistant, Vic, utterly reliable, professional and trustworthy. They did a really superb job, making sure the painting was completed to a very high standard, while causing hardly any disruption. They kept the areas they were working in incredibly neat and tidy. Both of them are also thoroughly pleasant and friendly people, and we enjoyed their company while they were completing the job.

We found Steve on Which Trusted Trader. In March 2019 he painted the hall, stairs, landing area and downstairs cloakroom. We are very pleased with the results and these areas of the house have been transformed. We would definitely use Steve again for any future decorating jobs. He is very reasonably priced, did a professional job and was clean and tidy. He was also very easy to have around the house for almost a week.

Steve and Vic did an excellent job of decorating the hallway and stairs in November 2018 (review already left for that) so we asked Steve to come back and redecorate our living room. This was a much smaller job so he only needed to come and do the work by himself. He did a fantastic job again and we are delighted with the papering and painting work he did. We would thoroughly recommend Steve for all decorating and painting jobs and hope to employ him again in future.

Steve redecorated the hall and landing of our Edwardian house. The quality of his work is excellent and the project was completed on time and in accordance with the estimate provided.

Steve decorated our spare room, and we’re really pleased with the result; it has exceeded our expectations. I got Steve’s details off Which Trusted Traders back in January 2017, and he came out to quote at the time. I was finally ready to start work 2 years later, and got back in touch. Steve happily honoured the quote, and started within a couple of weeks. He’s been punctual, jovial, and delivered a finish that we’re really pleased with. He’s now given me the incentive to get on with finishing the rest of our home. Very much recommended.

Steve did a great job on transforming out Kitchen, Bathroom and Bedroom. Each room was not straightforward with peeling/ chipped paint and uneven walls but he has made them look fresh and so much brighter. We could never have achieved this finish ourselves. Steve is friendly and reliable with the job taking the exact time advised. He even filled in an area left behind by other workmen we had in to fit our bathroom. I would highly recommend Steve to complete any decorating project and I am sure we will be calling him again in the future.

Steve repainted my rather gloomy North facing kitchen just before the Christmas holiday 2018. I am very pleased with the bright new look – considering his brief was to paint the existing rather patchy walls and woodwork, I think he has transformed the kitchen into a bright space; he also went the extra mile by filling in flaking areas around the ceiling and coving, and the gap between work top area against the wall. Also the kitchen window's old woodwork has come up like new. Steve did a great job and I would be happy to use him again, he is reasonably priced and a clean and tidy workman.
