Des The Decorator - Painting and decorating for both interior and exterior projects

My partner and I are new to the area and we found Des via this forum. Really glad we went with him, he was able to paint almost our whole house really quickly and for a very reasonable price. The house looks great, plus Des was really nice to work with so would definitely recommend.

Des and Mark were incredible decorators! They move quickly, are friendly, very clean and have great attention to detail. They are also well priced and go above and beyond to service the client. I have more rooms to paint and Des and Mark will be my main point of contact in the future. 

Cannot recommend Des The Decorator highly enough. Des & Mark did an amazing job, and the end result (double living room, hallway & staircase, downstairs toilet, bedroom, front door) is better than I envisaged. They were meticulous in their work, creative in offering suggestions to me, and solving little issues in the house that I didn't know I had. Really first class and I will definitely ask them to come back for any future work. 

We hired Des to repaint our hallway and living room. Straight from the off he was superb - ensured the flat was covered properly so there was no risk of drips. The paint job itself is immaculate and we are so pleased. Total professional & a lovely guy - couldn’t recommend more!

Recommendation for Des - he just did an exterior paint job on the front of our house and touched up a few bits inside. Very good value, no fuss, no mess, and he came back to do a couple of bits I forgot to ask him to do. Also left him with keys to do the work while we went on holiday. Can't fault the guy.

I have worked with Des a few times now and have nothing but good things to say about the quality of his work and his professionalism.  Has real attention to detail and goes above and beyond to get the perfect finish.  

Minimal mess and a thoroughly good guy too.

Happy to provide further details on request.

I can also add to the other recommendations for Des and his team.   Very efficient, helpful and reliable, and couldn't be more pleased with the quality and standard of finish on the job they carried out for us.

Totally recommend and will definitely call him back the next time I need any work carried out.  Don't hesitate to contact him for a quote.

A big recommendation for Des from me. Found him from the forum and got a clear quote for outside repainting our Victorian semi. Des sorted out scaffolding, gave us great advice on paint colour and finish and did a very thorough job. As others have said, he has excellent attention to detail, and is a real perfectionist - all the details were done so well. He also helped fix up a bit of brickwork. Top marks, would recommend!

Just want to recommend Des who's virtually painted our entire home. I've never met such a perfectionist. Preps walls properly and cleans up afterwards. Really professional, helpful and a pleasure to have around. He's also done quite a bit of work for neighbours who are equally pleased with the results.

My wife and I can highly recommend Des ,for doing an amazing job painting  all inside rooms of our home. Des level of attention is second to none.  Thank you Des

Another shout out for Des - he has painted for us several times, either full rooms or to correct other painting work we have had done - he is an absolute perfectionist, does a great quality job that lasts well, but also efficient and straightforward to deal with and does what he says he is going to do (which seems to be increasingly rare find!) - a diamond for your little black book!

Likewise we found working with Des just brilliant. We found him through carpenter Greg who alongside Des is part of a local group of trusted tradesmen and whom we found through the forum.

Greg had built a custom storage unit/bookshelf for our living room which Des expertly has painted. Truly a perfectionist and great tradesmanship! Christina

Can I jump in on a recommendation for Des - he did an amazing paint and finishing job on our bespoke bookshelves in Victorian front room. A perfectionist who worked through the weekend to get the job finished, and tidied up our fireplace too. Friendly and professional. 07971299009

I found Des through the forum and he’s been brilliant. He decorated my flat - inside and outside space , to get it ready to sell. He did a great job for a fair price. He communicated really well since we were in Canada. He even replaced carpet that had got damp in the cupboards. A couple of weeks after the job he came back and fixed a faulty toilet. Great chap and I highly recommend him.

Des is painting the outside of my house and is making a great job of it. He has also painted the interior . Highly recommended. Tel .07971299009.

Hi Mark

Thanks for all the hard over 16 years all best to you

Des of the Colour Company is a brilliant painter and decorator. He did a great job painting and decorating the back exterior of our house, and sorted a couple of rotting windows and doors. Des has very high standards, prides himself on using high quality materials, and is fairly priced. He guarantees his work which shows confidence in his skills. Des is also a great person to have around and takes great care to clean and tidy up after his work. (He is also part of a trusted network of other other respected tradespeople - roofers, carpenters, etc. All of whom where helpful to us). Highly recommended.

Hi it Des

Someone looking for me on East Dulwich Forum

I would strongly recommend Des, who has just done the most fantastic job painting shelves and cupboards for us. He was so professional and a pleasure to have around. He has done an excellent job and the quality of finish is outstanding, I would definitely use him again.

Thank you Des!

Hope you are all well .

I?m very happy to recommend Des. He is a genuinely nice guy and takes real pride in his work. Des painted our hall, living room, bedrooms and bathroom before Christmas. It was really important we got it done ahead of people arriving and Des got it done on time and we are really pleased with the finish. Des did a few extras to ensure a great look and always did great prep to protect floors, carpets and surfaces. We will be asking Des back to do our kitchen and hope that he can do some external work too.

Another recommendation for Des. He completed the outside of our house and hall, stairs and landing in July and we were very happy with his work and his professional approach.

Just saying thanks to all my clients

For writing my recommendation over the years

Two big thumbs up for Des and Mark. They painted our hall, landing and loft conversion stairs, and then the front door and porch area. They turned up when they said they would, did the work we asked them to do, chipped in with their own suggestions and advice, and did it all to an excellent standard. If we need any further decorating, Des will be the first person I call.

Des is the only person we'll let paint our house. Over the past five years, he's painted the inside (rooms, staircase, doors), and a few months ago he painted the outside (masonry, new sash windows and front door). He recently returned to touch up the outside too, which is a testament to his attention to detail. Des will always do an exceptional job.
