Excellent service
Richard did an excellent job redecorating a bedroom, offering helpful advice and completing the job to a very high standard. I am delighted with the end result. He was professional, reliable and communication was excellent from start to finish. I have no hesitation in recommending his services and looking forward to having him back in the spring to redecorate the exterior paintwork.Verified reviewerJob location: SO5010 Painting / Decorating

Redecoration of all exterior paintwork (pebble dash, window sills, front door, soil pipe, lead work)
This is the 3rd time I've used Richard. He consistently produces high quality work, his attention to detail is excellent and he is reliable, friendly and professional. Richard's communication is very good throughout the duration of the work, from producing a comprehensive quote, regular updates by phone and WhatsApp and promptly sending an accurate invoice. I would strongly recommend Richard.Verified reviewerJob location: SO18RGary W10 Exterior Painting

Exterior painting
I highly recommend RDS Painting and Decorating. The work involved exterior painting of facia boards, pipes and windowsills. Richard visited and provided a quote within a couple of days of sending the request. The work itself took four days and was carried out to a very high standard. Richard is courteous, punctual and very clean and tidy. Overall, an excellent job and I would use RDS Painting and Decorating again.Verified reviewerJob location: SO15Response from RDS Painting & Decorating
