Recommended painter/decorator/DIY


Recommended Posts

Wanted to recommend Louise Sunderland, who's helped me with a lot of DIY recently while I was renovating my kitchen. She ripped out the old kitchen, sanded and varnished a pretty knackered wooden floor (pic attached), painted & decorated and built alcove shelves (two pictures attached). She also reinstated a previously bricked-up fireplace.


She's reliable, punctual and a total perfectionist - even fixing things in my flat that I hadn't noticed needed attention (like a missing bit of skirting board & replacing broken floorboards). As well as having super high standards, she's great at giving general DIY advice - I took up lots of her recommendations from which paint types to use, to how to manage a tricky situation with a plasterer who hadn't finished his job properly.


She's a lovely person who I happily trusted to let herself in & out of my home, and she always tidied up after herself too. My only hesitation in recommending her is the fear that she's going to get too busy to do any more work for me.


Her email is [email protected]

We have also just used Louise to carry out a fair bit of decorating for us including lots of woodwork and wall painting. She also renovated our old staircase (including fixing/replacing the lose and old boards) and I can't recommend her highly enough. Hardworking, efficient, trust worthy and fair. She has done a great job and we will definitely be using her in the future.

Louise is really great at what she does. She has just done a wonderful job in a bedroom at our house, making good the floorboards and painting them. The room has been transformed. This is the 5th time I've asked her to do something and every single time she does a great job. She's fun to have around, reliable and very good value for money. Will be using again to do another room very soon.

Louise Sunderland is absolutely brilliant - she recently did a few painting and decorating jobs for us in Forest Hill (mainly our front door/porch) and as well as being really friendly, she is an absolute perfectionist. She was also really helpful with regard to colour choice, etc., she's clean, tidy, punctual and completely transparent and honest about costs/hours etc. We'll definitely be asking Louise to do future work for us - I cannot recommend her enough.

I would like to add my recommendation for Louise's work. She has repainted the whole of our flat (in Catford), which required a lot of preparation, to a fantastic standard.

Louise is the complete professional. She works to an extremely high standard and is 100% reliable. She is punctual, very tidy, reasonably priced and really nice to have around.

I would have no hesitation to recommend her to anyone.

I don?t normally do this but really wanted to add a recommendation for Louise. She recently spent 4 days preparing and painting my son?s bedroom as well as our hallway. We couldn?t have asked for better service or a better result. Louise is an absolute professional and obviously takes great pride in her work. The finish on the walls is impeccable and when we returned from our holiday there wasn?t a speck of paint on a carpet, floorboard or sink. She was also completely transparent about her costs and how long the job would take. I am so so pleased that we asked Louise to complete the work - and I?m almost reluctant to write this as I am sure she is very quickly accruing an loyal fan base and will soon be booked up until 2020.

    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing. 
    • interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
