    Painting our lounge

    Posted 12 December 2024

    Collin was very reliable, arrived on time every morning and started working as soon as he got here. He was so polite, friendly and tidy. Excellent workmanship and we are so glad we found such a good decorator. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Collin and would have him doing work for us again. We have already booked for him to paint the bathroom and baby room in the new year. Thankyou so much

    Painting master bedroom and gloss work ensuite

    Posted 28 November 2024

    This is the 3 time Collin has carried out work for us. As expected work was carried out to a high standard. Colin carried out the work in a timely fashion with minimal disruption or mess. We use Collin not just for the standard of his work but also the quality of his materials from the carpet protection system to the durability of the paint he uses.

    Decorating the hallway, ceiling and staircase

    Posted 26 November 2024

    From our first point of contact until Colin finished the job was excellent! We received a full description of what Colin would be doing in our quote, along with a description of the products he would be using. He arrived promptly every morning for the duration of the job. Nothing was too much trouble. He worked tirelessly every day, only having a quick break for lunch. Colin’s work is excellent and very tidy. We are so very happy with our hallway, stairs and landing, and would highly recommend Colin. We wouldn’t use anyone else! Rob & Tina

    Bedroom with peeled paint repainted

    Posted 23 September 2024

    Based on reviews on this site i chose Collin to repaint a bedroom that had a large area where the paint had peeled of back to the plaster. Im am exceptionally glad i chose Collin, the finished job is exceptional, he blended the peeled area and after its been painted you can not see where the damage was. I didnt think it would be possible to achieve the result. Collin provided and stuck to his quote and schedule. On top of it all he is a genuine tradesman and a nice guy. I will be using his services again and will happily recommend his service to anyone. Thanks again, Howard and Jo.

Welcome to CLS Painting Decorating and Home Improvements. 

My name is Collin Staines and I specialise in internal / external painting and decorating. I work hard to uphold a business you and rely on and trust. I have many years experience behind me and have painted / decorated peoples's homes, businesses and care homes. I am based in Hockley and enjoy working in this area and up to 40 miles from it. 

I generally work on my own but have a close group of other trusted trades people that I can call upon if the project requires additional man power or other trades. I am also lucky enough to have a talented wife who sometimes works with me , this way my over heads are kept small and I can keep my prices down.

Our customers are very important to us and therefore we work closely with them from the initial thoughts / concepts to guidance on the best suitable and quality products to use, right through to the finished project.

We respect your property and therefore work hard to do the best possible job and that includes taking great care of your property. We use "Mirka" dust free sanding equipment so that you can come back to a clean and tidy home.

We offer free no obligation quotes which are clear and straight forward. We are happy to look at small projects such as repainting a few doors to renovating a whole house so why not give us a call.
