    Complete wall repair/repaint of 3 a bedroom house.

    The house was unoccupied so the work went on totally unsupervised. The work started on time, finished on time and the results are amazing. A 30 year old house looks like new inside. The price was very competitive and I can not fault the professionalism of this tradesman. Highly recommended.

    Full house

    Stephen started off rectifying someone’s past work they had just started what I wasn’t happy with, he started off really good was really happy with everything, was all to a good standard, I then gave him the full house he cracked on with it, I ended up with a few leaks on the newly painted ceilings in the kitchen wasn’t any fault of his just unfortunate for me he was busy to come back and finish it as I needed it blasting off ready for my kitchen to be fitted I would recommend Stephen, just a shame he’s very busy and didn’t match with my deadlines, definitely recommend and beats prices thanks.

    Response from S.J.P Decorating Services

    Thank you for your review. When I started the project for you, I made it perfectly clear that I could not do any work in December due to prior commitments. I completed all the work that I could do up to the end of November. Woodwork could not be completed downstairs as you were waiting for new floors. The plaster falling off your bedroom ceilings and water leaks from the plumber in lounge and kitchen were after I had finished. I did say I would come back in January but this was then too late for you. You have marked my scores down accross the board but then said you would recommend me.

    Bedroom repaint and refresh

    As usual, Stephen was amazing. He's an ace at fixing dodgy plastering work, and we always appreciate his advice on our house (and our colour choices). His communication and timekeeping is perfect, and the work is always to a high standard. Do not hesitate to use him for your decorating

    A lovely and pleasant worker

    Stephen was an excellent decorator and very helpful to us as we are getting old now. His work was excellent and we are so pleased with what he has done. He painted and plastered and wallpapered to a very high standard. He was a lovely and pleasant person and wouldn’t hesitate to have work done with him again.
