S C Campbell's Decorating Services

Asked Mr Campbell to quote for two jobs because of Trusted Trader status and excellent reviews. He rang back promptly and arranged to come round. Steve took the time to discuss the options with us and sent prices quickly. We felt these were very reasonable, and within a fortnight he was able to give us a starting date for the kitchen/lobby. Strip wallpaper from small lobby, repaint woodwork there, make good surfaces in kitchen and repaint walls and ceilings throughout. Steve was courteous and easy to have around, important as we were at home all the time. We were very pleased with the work he did and have asked him to schedule our second job (redecorate landing and bathroom).

Steve and Vick were extremely professional and also helped us make good decisions, such as wall paper and matching colour. We had three rooms decorated and all work was undertaken to a very high standard. On time and punctual, very tidy. Highly recommend.

Steve was punctual, easy to work with and did a good job for a fair price. The work involved preparation and painting of woodwork, render and gutter.

Steve and his co-worker painted the exterior wood work, masonry, and garage doors of my 2 storey house. The original quote detailed all the work, specified how surfaces would be prepared, and named the products to be used. I found this very useful in choosing Steve to do the job, and was very pleased with the finished work. Steve and Vic were both very easy to work with, being friendly and helpful, offering suggestions and advice. They even painted a few extras that I hadn't specified as they 'had some paint left'! Communication was good, and they arrived promptly each day. I am delighted to have found Steve, and have no hesitation in recommending him, he did a brilliant job.

Steve has recently painted the outside of my house and garage. He helpfully organised the scaffolding and used this to ensure the best finish in his work. In addition to the agreed project Steve identified issues with my garage doors and has addressed these. On request he also mended some guttering. Steve was always punctual and polite and he tidied up at the end of each day. I am very happy with the work which has been completed and with Steve's willingness to look at other issues and seek solutions. I would not hesitate to use Steve for future projects.

The job was to paint the refresh the exterior of a two storey house (soffits, fascias and masonry) which had been neglected for some time. Lots of fiddly woodwork and parts challenging to access due to height and various obstructions. Work was done very efficiently and to a very high standard, with the soffits and fascias looking like they were new when done. Punctual, communicative, considerate and friendly throughout. Went the extra mile in removing guttering when roofers did not turn up. From getting the quote to tidying up afterward, the good price, a great experience all round. Highly recommended!

Stephen had previously worked for me a couple of months earlier and I was pleased with the work he carried out. He paid two more visits to me again, first towards the end of March, to prime and seal my landing ceiling and to strip the wallpaper off on a section of the wall that had got damp and discoloured, due to the continued rain we have been having. He came again on 22nd April, to paint over the sealed landing ceiling, and to put new wallpaper down. He did an excellent job and at the end, negotiated a very reasonable price. He is extremely pleasant and put me at my ease when I expressed concerns about the work, and very easy to contact on the phone. He will ring back more or less straight away if he isn't available at the time of my phone call to him.

Steve and his colleague Vick recently painted our ceiling after it had been replaced. They also repaired some of the wallpaper that had been damaged during the ceiling removal. Vick did a fantastic job of cleaning up the line between the existing wallpaper and the new coving which had was now slightly higher than the old ceiling. He also repainted two of the walls and the wood around the window seat. Steve was unfazed with our request for them to use a completely VOC free paint. They even came back to rectify a problem the builder had made with the coving. Overall we were very pleased and will definitely use them again for any future decorating work.

Steve painted my landing ceiling, removed wallpaper, and re-wallpapered a couple of walls on my landing. While he was in the process of removing the wallpaper from one of the walls, some plaster came loose. Steve was completely unfazed by this, and calmly applied fresh plaster, allowing it to dry, before applying the fresh wallpaper. He was extremely pleasant and easy to talk to about the job I needed done and put me at ease. He was fast and just took one day to complete a really lovely job. I will have no hesitation in asking him back for other decorating jobs I may have in the future.

This was the first time we used Steve and we would definitely use him again. He was always on time and the work was done to a very high standard. We would highly recommend using his services.

I contacted a couple of painters to obtain quotes to paint my flat but S C Campbells were considerably cheaper that their competitors. I was a little nervous that that might mean I was compromising on quality but I needn't have worried; the painting was done to an excellent standard. Moreover, I was orginally told the work would be completed in 7 working days, Steve then estimated 6 days but in the end it only took 5 allowing us to move back in 4 days earlier! Steve made the effort to come round to view the property before work started which was a great help allowing me to discuss a few final points with him face to face. He was then good enough to come again to pick up the keys before work started to avoid difficulties because of the tube strike. Unfortunately a small piece of the work was missed. However, Steve came within the week to rectify this and I saw at first hand his attention to detail. Throughout the work, Steve was pleasant and polite. He was kind enough to leave me some tape for putting up decorations to avoid damaging the new paintwork. Steve has mentioned that he is very busy and to be honest I am not surprised! All in all, I have no hesitation at all in recommending Steve and will definitely go back to him in the future should I need any further painting doing.

Steve and Vic have just redecorated my entire bungalow and it was well worth the wait (due to them being much in demand). Leaving aside the fact that they are a pleasure to have in the house, the standard of preparation and finish was beyond my expectation. A great job with excellent advice and communication throughout and all at a very fair cost. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

This is the third time I have used Steve and I certainly expect to use him again. His work is excellent and he is most pleasant to have around the house. I have recommended him to friends.

Steve was recommended by a friend. We asked him to paint our stairs and landings which he and Vic completed in good time, leaving all neat and tidy. Would definitely recommend his work and would be glad to employ him again.

I used this company in 2017 to paint a ceiling and then decorate my hall, stairs & landing & was delighted with everything about them which is why I was happy to contact them again. This time, I wanted them to redecorate my kitchen & repaint my lounge ceiling following a leak some time ago and the resulting water stain. They completed the kitchen in 2 days and the lounge ceiling in one and I was delighted with the outcome of both jobs. They were very accommodating, fitting in with my lack of availability, were very professional and I am more than happy to recommend them.

Excellent work from Steve and Vic, painting exterior of two terraced properties. Both were finished to a high standard. Very efficient, unobtrusive and polite service. Steve was very attentive and responsive to my observations and requirements. Many thanks!

Steve provided a quote and then 2 days before starting work he arrived to discuss and try out paint colours. The main body of the work consisted of painting interior walls, skirting boards etc. and removing multiple large screws left from objects that had been hung on the walls, filling and decorating. He was prompt, courteous and very easy to deal with, and encouraged me to look for any items that needed his attention that we may have missed in earlier discussions/inspections. He also evened out a ceiling where there had been water damage from a shower on an upper floor, before painting, as well as reversing badly painted and crumbled stair rail and making it look like new. When walls, window sills or skirting boards required further layers of paint than we'd expected, he completed the work at no extra charge. When he realised that the total job would take him a day less than predicted, he reduced the cost of the work accordingly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

Steve quoted for the exterior redecoration of the outside of my timber windows, semi detached house in Wanstead and was very reasonable compared with other quote I had, he came with Vic and did a fantastic job, filling where necessary and making good. Vic was very tidy ever day clearing up after himself and very polite. Lucky with the weather meant the job was done perfectly to schedule and when they said. Steve helped introduce scaffolders and a carpenter to do some repairs and he stuck to his quote despite it being over a year old and my house looks perfectly lovely. Good communication and took time to clean the windows when the job was finished. Great job.

Steve discussed the work needed beforehand and came at the scheduled time. He used the appropriate paint and techniques and was clean and tidy and careful. I am pleased with the finish and he was a pleasure to have around. He went the extra mile to clean the windows and even did an extra bit of paintwork. I have already booked him for next year!

We are very happy to have engaged Steve and Vic to paint the interiors of our new flat. They arrived promptly, were really helpful in making sure we got colour's we were happy with, were diligent in protecting everywhere and have given everywhere a lovely finish. They’re friendly and trustworthy, and we enjoyed having them around. Would definitely recommend!

My cousin allowed me to use his account to find a decorator in Chingford to paint and repair one outside window. The frame was partially rotten and needed to be repaired and then painted. There had been water ingress internally as well which meant the frame had to be painted inside as well. Steve contacted me very quickly after I had emailed him. Gave a reasonable quote and came round within 2 weeks of the quotation to complete the work. I am really happy with the work completed and will be using Steve's services in the future.

Steve and Vic have just painted the whole interior of our house and everything went very smoothly. They both arrived on time every day and worked constantly and cleanly. Everything was covered and protected from paint. Steve is very helpful, discussing different paint finishes etc. We are really pleased with the work and would one hundred percent recommend Steve and Vic to anyone. Thank you for your hard work.

Steve (and Vick) did a great job. Steve is very friendly and professional. He advised me on what types of paint he thought it best to use which was very useful. Furniture and carpet all protected well. The work was completed to a very high standard. I would not hesitate to use Steve again or recommend him. Thanks Steve!

Steve and Vick were brilliant, able to fit in the work (decorating internally 3 rooms in our flat) at relatively short notice. They spent a lot of time at the beginning ensuring all belongings and the rooms not being decorated were protected and covered in plastic. Then they regularly checked in to ensure they were doing it as we wanted. Hugely personable and really care about the quality of the job they are doing, and the flat and our wooden sash windows look like new! Wouldn't hesitate to ask them to do work in the future.

Steve did a great job painting our hallway. He is very professional and did a great job. He arrived on time, protected our carpets perfectly and left everywhere clean and tidy too.

Steve and Vic are reliable, honest and above all expert decorators. They did such a brilliant job with our bedrooms a few years ago that we called them back to do the rest of the house. Amazing, timely communication, very knowledgeable, gave us spot on quote and delivered an outstanding work. Even better results than we imagined. Would highly recommend for any decorating jobs.

Steve and his colleague Vic undertook the complete repainting of the interior of my flat. They are very friendly and trustworthy. They completed on time, on budget and to a very high standard. I am delighted with the result and would definitely recommend their services!

Steve and his colleague undertook painting and decorating to our lounge and hallway. They arrived at the agreed time and worked hard but were always polite and easy to have around. They prepared well, taping and protecting all undecorated surfaces and their work was well executed and we are very pleased with the finished result. They finished ahead of schedule, left everywhere tidy and as the drying permitted returned most furniture back in place. The final invoice was exactly in line with the estimate.

We’ve just had our downstairs lounge finished and painted by Steve and the team and we are very happy, highly recommended. Steve popped around to give us a quote and then was able to book the job in quickly which was great. Vic did the finishing of the walls and painting and we are very happy with it. Really good finish even on some parts of the walls that had previously been a bit rough. Would definitely work with them again for future jobs.

We were looking for someone to paint the front of our Victorian terraced house and Steve came highly recommended. His quote was very reasonable, and we were delighted with the job he did for us - high quality and superb value. Steve and his colleague worked hard in very hot conditions and got the work done very quickly. They were friendly, punctual and tidied up very thoroughly at the end of each day. We are so pleased with the results - we've had so many compliments from neighbours. We'd absolutely recommend Steve to anyone looking for a high quality paint job and friendly service at an affordable price.

S. C. Campbell have just done the external redecoration of our Victorian house. It was a big job, and a lot of work. Steve was patient and helpful when I needed to change the start date, and when we had to have builders in to do some unexpected repairs that were discovered half way through. Vick worked dependably and solidly throughout and the work was done more thoroughly than it’s ever been done before. I’m thrilled with the result. The house looks absolutely beautiful and I know from the quality of the work that it will last a long time. The cost was very reasonable, too, so I’m delighted with all aspects of the job. I hope they’ll come back and do some interior decorations for us next year. Thank you so much Steve and Vick!

Our house was a sad peeling mess. External decoration was many years overdue. Steve and Vik have completely transformed the outside and have given our old wooden windows a new lease of life. We have received many admiring glances from passers by. Their preparation was thorough. They arrived punctually every morning concentrating only on our job. The job was completed within the time originally estimated and for the original estimate. There were some extra works recommended but these were reasonably costed and left entirely for us to decide whether or not to have them (we did and pleased we did). There were a couple of minor issues spotted after Steve had left but Steve came back the following day and they were sorted to our satisfaction without any quibble. Steve and Vik were very quiet and no trouble to have around. A piece of homemade cake and a cup of peppermint tea will keep Steve very happy. Overall we would have no hesitation in recommending Steve and we have booked him to do more decoration inside our house later in the year.

We recommend Steve very highly indeed. He fitted us in when we needed to get work done by a particular date, and then was very understanding and accommodating when we needed to delay his planned start date. He and Vic did an excellent job in both the preparation (they were very thorough) and in the wall-papering & painting, taking great pains to get everything just right. We are delighted by the results. There was quite a lot to do, but everything was done on schedule and within the price estimate. Steve and Vic were also a pleasure to have in the house, making the whole process very smooth. We have asked them to carry out further work for us.

Steve was recommended by Which trusted I read the reviews and I have to say he has surpassed my expectations. We met over a year ago when he quoted me for painting the outside of my house. He was straightforward with his quote without adding any extras He has completed the work to an extremely high standard within the time he specified so much so that I have asked him for further painting work which he will hopefully fit into his busy schedule. He arrives promptly and cleans up after himself I can not praise him enough. He has been approachable and knowledgeable. A true professional thank you Steve and I hope to see you soon.

Steve and Vic decorated the whole of the interior of my house, which hadn't been painted in a number of years. One of the bedrooms needed stripping right back and making good, they transformed it! On his first visit Steve discussed with me what needed doing and provided a reasonable quote quickly, although I had to wait a bit for him to be able to do the job, once it was started he and Vic completed the work in under 2 weeks. They always arrived on time and worked hard right through; they were friendly, polite, trustworthy and worked around us living in the house. They are very professional and the standard of their work is high; my house is so much brighter, they will be returning to paint the outside of the house and I have every confidence they'll do a good job on that too. I have absolutely no hesitation recommending Steve and Vic to others looking to redecorate their home. Thanks Steve and Vic 👍

Steve was recommended by a friend, and when I contacted him he was pleasant and friendly from the start. When he quoted me the price for work I wished to be carried out, he was straightforward and I knew he would be reliable. His timekeeping was excellent and he spent four days, stripping my old wallpaper, painting the woodwork twice, and finally putting up my new wallpaper in a patient and professional manner. He worked extremely hard and I was delighted with the result. In fact, I have asked him to quote me for decorating another room, and am willing to wait as I know how busy he is. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

This was the second time Steve had done painting and decorating for us; he is very reliable - came and quoted promptly and fitted us in quickly. Steve and Vic prepared thoroughly, were happy to discuss what I wanted and were both really pleasant, friendly, very efficient and trustworthy.

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.

Had a great experience with Steve and his team, he was punctual, accommodating, flexible on a tricky project - gave good tips on paint suppliers. Would have no hesitation recommending him.

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.

Steve was helpful and friendly and went to a lot of trouble to give me very good advice on the shade of grey to use for the hall, stairs and landing of my Victorian house. He turned up on time and has excellent communication. His work was neat and tidy and he was kind and charming and a pleasure to have around. I am delighted with the finished job which is superb. I really can't recommend him highly enough.

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.

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.

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.

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

Steve is highly professional and very reliable. Me and my wife are very happy with the work he has just done for us. We will be getting Steve to do further work in our house, as were so happy with his work. Very highly recomended.Steve is also very friendly and trustworthy.

Steve did my outside decoration and did a superb job. Very professional, excellent communication and advice. 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.

S C Campbell's Decorating Services repainted all our exterior. The work was carried out with great care and attention to detail. At times it was more restoration than repainting. We were particularly impressed with the preparation and the finish. They were very courteous and efficient at all times. We would not hesitate to use them again and to recommend them.

Typically for me left it too late in 2017 to get the exterior of my house painted having 'run out' of summer. Steve still came in late 2017 gave an estimate and told me that I would be one of his first customers for external work in 2018 should I still wish to proceed. True to his word Steve contacted me in April and began work on 8th May. Steve and his team are reliable, efficient, friendly and professional. They had a bit of a challenge as in places there was more masonry than paint on show. Their work is to a very high standard and they have made an amazing job of rejeuvanting the outside of the house. Steve made sure that he kept me up to date with progress throughout and actually finished a little ahead of schedule. Would definitely use again. Steve likes dogs too which is just a bonus!

We moved into our first home just before Christmas and wanted to decorate 2 reception rooms as well as fitted bookcases/ wardrobes. From our first meet it was clear Steve was experienced and trustworthy, he gave us a competitive quote and a clear start date. Steve and Vic completed the job in 5 days - they were a pleasure to have in our home and highly professional throughout. We are delighted with the end result and will definitely be in touch should we need more work done.

Having been let down in the past by a number of tradespeople, Steve has been such a breath of fresh air. He was quick to give a quote - which was thorough, well considered and realistic. He also gave a clear indication of when he could start and stuck to it - so we could plan accordingly. Both Steve and Vic are professional, a pleasure to have around and real perfectionists. They have done a wonderful job redecorating our entire house and both my husband and I are delighted with the results. Have now asked Steve to come back and paint the outside! Thoroughly recommended.

Steve did a wonderful job decorating our hall and lounge. Over a period of nearly 3 weeks, 20 years of neglected paintwork was transformed with care and attention to detail. It was a pleasure to have Steve and Vic in our home - by the end it was like having family around. Looking forward to having them back in Spring to do the outside work.

I contacted Steve after seeing the reviews here, he came out to see me within a few days to do a quote and I received it quickly. Steve told me from the beginning that he was fully booked and it would be a few months before he could start, for me that was fine and I was happy for him to fit me in as and when he could do a room. He came to do my bedroom, which required some papering, coving, picture rail and decorating. To say I'm delighted with the result is an understatement, the whole thing was completed in 2.5 days and looks beautiful, definitely worth the wait. The gloss work is so smooth and the paintwork exceptional and Steve made sure everything was done to your satisfaction. I would definitely recommend Steve, you will get a job well done! I can't wait until he does the other rooms.

Its always difficult to find a tradesman to do a particular job for you if you don't have a recommendation to fall back on. I needed somebody to do the woodwork and the paintwork on the outside of the house before the winter weather really set in. In the past I have tried using the trust a trader site and been let down by people either not turning up or turning up and then not following up their visit by sending me the quotation for the work discussed. Then I tried Which? Trusted Trader site for the first time leaving a message for Steve to call me back which he did very quickly and then followed up fast by a visit to my home. Right from our initial meeting I could tell that Steve was a very honest genuine person and very easy to talk to. He sent me a quotation as promised which I accepted and he started the work on schedule as promised and even managed to finish the job earlier than expected as the weather kindly co-operated and he had one of his colleagues with him for the final couple of days. A very professional job which I am really very happy with. Steve proved me right on my first impressions. He is genuine, honest and trustworthy and very reliable turning up when he says he will. He and his team work really hard and to a very high professional standard. It was a pleasure to deal with Steve and I would have no hesitation in using him again or recommending him to anyone! Thanks Steve, A good job well done!

Steve has just painted the exterior of my house. He was recommended by family and neighbours, so I was already confident that the job would be excellent. From the initial meeting to the final brush of paint, everything went well and, as good quality materials were used, and all surfaces were prepared patiently and properly, it will be many years before the paintwork will need re-doing. Steve is punctual, tidy, trustworthy and a pleasure to have around. Needless to say he is 100% recommended.

Excellent work, friendly and helpful approach, would thoroughly recommend!

We recently used Steve to paint the exterior of our house. He spent time discussing the job and gave good advice on colours. We are very happy with the results. He was very friendly and professional throughout. We would certainly recommend Steve and will use him again

Steve and Co have recently completed our living room and have done a fabulous job. I have used numerous decorators over the years and it is great to have now found one who gives so much attention to detail and proper preparation. This has made all the difference and our living room now looks stunning. I can't fault Steve's work and will certainly be using him again in the future. Great value for money and with a first class result, thank you to Steve and his team. We were properly consulted throughout and Steve was extremely patient whilst we finalised our choices. I found him to be very trustworthy and everything was completed as agreed. I highly recommend his services.

It has been a pleasure to deal with Steve and to have him and his associate Tina working in the house. He spent time discussing the job and gave helpful advice, for example, regarding paints. He and Tina completed all the agreed works and went out of their way to organise and supervise some unforeseen additional works and adapted their schedule to fit. We would certainly recommend Steve.

We recently used Steve to paint two rooms for us. The work was completed to a very high standard and within the agreed timescale. Steve gave good advice on colours and how to deal with a damp problem. We will definitely be using Steve again and have no hesitation in recommending him

I'm very happy with the work Steve and his colleague Tina have done in my home. Steve came to my home and we discussed the work that I wanted done and I had a problem with mould and dampness in one of the rooms that was to be decorated. Steve explained fully of how he was going to treat this and if I had any questions about any of the work he was going to carry out he fully explained everything to me. He came back with Tina to introduce us and so Tina knew what work had to be done. I found both Steve and Tina friendly, professional, reliable and considerate. We discussed the colours I wanted and they brought the colour charts and we all discussed the colours together and they were so helpful giving me guidance. I'm very happy with the outcome of the colours. Nothing was too much trouble for them and a few tiny jobs were done that was not even discussed. Tina was very tidy whilst working and protected the surroundings of the rooms she was working in. The work they have done I'm very pleased with and believe me I'm very fussy and hard to please. I would highly recommend them to anyone. I often stayed whilst they were painting and was never made to feel uncomfortable or in the way. I also fully trusted them and left them quite often in my home whilst I went out. They also was so considerate of my two cats and we discussed the best way to paint so the cats would have a room they could stay in. I would 100% use Steve again.

Steve has recently decorated two rooms in our house and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Despite being busy he was able to fit us in at quite short notice, and was really helpful in sorting out paint samples and matching colours that we liked. Both rooms have been painted to a very high standard and are exactly as we wanted them. Steve was professional and friendly throughout, and a pleasure to have working in our home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and will definitely be using him again in the future.

Steve is a very clear, considerate and helpful decorator. He was professional and reliable, and we have no hesitation in using him again. All our neighbours commented on his quality of work and a few are now using him also. Nothing seems to be a problem, and if it is he will carefully explain the situation and the solutions that are available. Fantastic.

Steve did a beautiful job on our communal hallway. His input and advice on color choices were really helpful and much appreciated. We found him reliable, professional and a pleasure to have around. He even offered to come back after the carpets had been fitted and patch up any marks from the fitting- which he did promptly and free of charge. Would definitely use him again.

Contacted Steve in July for Interior decorating. Fully booked Until Oct/Nov. He surveyed the work required, hall, stairs and landing, walls and woodwork painted. Written quote received within 5 days. Phoned him up October, still very busy but would we accept his associate. We agreed and a mid November time was agreed. 2 days before the due start he brought his associate, Tina, for a survey on work to be done. A timescale of 5/6 days was agreed. The work was started on time and immediately a professional attitude was apparent. Every surface not for painting was properly covered. Despite our changing our minds on a wall colour, thankfully not yet started, the work ran to plan and was finished on schedule with all evidence of activity cleared up and a final Hoovering. We cannot speak highly enough of the quality of the workmanship and the professional attitude throughout the exercise. Recommended without reservation.

I found Steve to be professional, friendly, trustworthy, reliable and very accommodating. Steve painted my dining room and bedroom to a very high standard including making the walls good after I was left with damaged walls by an electrician. Steve is due to return to decorate the remainder of my house in December and I have already booked him to paint the exterior of the house next year. I am extremely happy with the work completed and would highly recommend Steve.

1st visit from Steve was reassuring. He was professional, yet friendly and not intimidating and listened to my plans, discussed work to be done and as I'm disabled we agreed to carry out the work while I was away. We agreed a date, Steve came to collect keys and I felt confident of his integrity. On my return I was delighted with the result,the paintwork was excellent, all the carpets and furniture were intact, the lounge and hall clean and tidy, all work done as agreed and it all looked brilliant. I would not hesitate to recommend Steve as being highly competent, professional and entirely trustworthy.

I picked Steve based on the reviews I had read, and he certainly lived up to the good comments. An excellent job (exterior of house, painting four sides plus porch area) which required some repairs to cracks in the rendering. Steve and Vic were efficient, considerate, and helpful and always pleasant. Good weather meant the job progressed without breaks and we were very pleased with the result. Definitely a Trusted Trader.

I decided to employ Steve after a number of other decorators gave me the run around. He gave me a prompt quote and a realistic time frame for my work to begin. Steve redecorated my living room and papered a wall in my back bedroom. He was clean , swift and of a high standard. I would have no hesitation using him again or recommending him to others.

Steve and his colleague Vic did an excellent and professional job painting the outside of my house. I was impressed with their preparation, protection of the surrounding areas and attention to detail. The exterior of my house now appears pristine and welcoming. They even went the extra mile and painted my bathroom radiator which the plumber had temporarily removed during my bathroom refurbishment. I shall be having them back to decorate the interior.

Steve was friendly, polite and professional, offered advice and listened to what I wanted. He kept me informed at each stage of the work which gave me confidence in his abilities and that he would complete to schedule. He always tidied up both inside and out so everything was done with the minimum disruption. The work was of a very high standard using good quality products and at a reasonable price. Overall I am extremely please with the results and will definitely use him again. Excellent work.

Steve and his colleague Vic worked hard and produced an excellent result painting my house exterior despite some awful weather. They were interesting people and completely trustworthy as well as being very professional. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

We contacted Steve as we needed our new bathroom painted. Steve's communication was excellent from start to finish. His attention to detail is commendable and resulted in a really good end result. We would happily recommend Steve to anyone and will definitely use him again.

Steve did an excellent quality job decorating my whole house, he was the best quote out of the others I received and was reliable and friendly. I have already asked him to do another job for me. Highly recommended.

Steve did an amazing job painting my front room, wall to wall bookcase, hallway and landing. The quality of the work was excellent and he was most helpful with his advice. I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking of having work done. He was punctual, friendly and hardworking with a real care shown towards his work. Will definitely be asking him back again for more work.

Helpful right from the start. Courteous and pleasant, Steve arrived on time and did a very good job. We would certainly use him again for any future work and would have no hesitation in recommending him to our friends.

My daughter recently purchased a flat which had to be decorated throughout and needed to be done with some urgency. I have always done my own decorating but I am now of the age where it takes me longer to do and I find some jobs difficult. In all honesty I was dreading getting somebody in I did not know. So I turned to trusted traders and selected a few, Steve amongst them. Steve was the only one that provided me with a complete breakdown regarding labour and cost of materials. I contacted Steve and informed him of the situation I was in and to say he went out of his way to help would be an understatement. Steve arrived at my daughters flat and we went through everything in detail. Steve even worked weekends to help finish the job for us. Steve was punctual and did everything we asked. His work was excellent. We trusted him with the keys to the property and he left it clean and tidy when he had finished. Steve was a gem find and we will most certainly be using him again. I have no hesitation what so ever in recommending him. His estimate for the work carried out I felt was extremely reasonable. Thank you Steve.
