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.

I'll add a second recommendation for Des - repainted the hall stairs and landing and new loft room, as well as some bedrooms and outside painting. I've had a few decorators over the years but Des is the best I've seen - really good preparation of surfaces and really great finish. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend: 0797 129 9009.

Another recommendation for Des - he has painted the majority of my house starting with hall and staircase (including all the bannisters) and did a beautiful, highly professional job. On top of being a great decorator he is polite, tidy, punctual, thoughtful and friendly - and very good with kids! I was delighted with the work he did and would happily recommend him to anyone.

We would also like to recommend Des. He recently decorated our hall and stairs including the woodwork and one wall of very fiddly wallpaper! We found him to be extremely reliable, professional and straightforward. His work was carried out to a very high standard, with an very professional finish. He was also very courteous and friendly. We will certainly be using him again.

I would also like to recommend Des. He's recently finished painting our loft room, small bedroom and staircase. We are delighted with the results as the finish is superb, his rate was really reasonable and finished the job quickly. We found him completely trustworthy and extremely tidy. I wouldn't hesitate recommending him.

Des painted our exterior woodwork and masonry this autumn and I've been meaning to recommend him on the forum. He did a really smart job, thoroughly sorted out various problems that were causing damp inside the house and was lovely to have around (in a good humour even when the weather was terrible for weeks on end).

Des painted 2 rooms for us before Christmas (we found him through this thread), we were so impressed with him and the quality of the finish that we've currently got him painting our kitchen, hall and stairs. As previous posters have said he really has an eye for detail and is completely straightforward to deal with, solving problems as he goes along, happy working on his own or around us in the house and a pleasure to chat too. Highly recommended, we'll be using him again later in the summer for some exterior work and to finish the interior of the house. Worth mentioning that he is close friends with Greg Bramwell who is also highly recommended as a carpenter on this forum - so if you have shelving that needs doing or any carpentry/removal of radiators etc. then Greg and Des work really well together with Greg doing the carpentry and Des then doing the painting.

I would also recommend Des. He's now painted the outside of our house (downstairs), and also our bathroom and bedroom. He always does a great job and is reliable and reasonable.

I can only echo the others on this thread .

Des painted the interior of more or less our entire house (as well as some exterior woodwork) in Court Lane , and did a great job . He is indeed a perfectionist , but its worth the extra time and money if you want a good and lasting job .He has initiative and common sense, was a pleasure to have around the house , and also very professional .

Highly recommended .( apologies for the delay in getting this recommendation up on the forum ) .

    • Earl, the devil is always in the detail and the detail very much suggests it is not disingenuous nonsense - what is disingenuous are some of the headlines concocted by the pro-cycle lobby to present a good news story.  More often than not a lot of the pro-cycle headlines have been "selectively plucked" to create a story and you highlight a very real example of that.   We have discussed previously the claim that there are now more cyclists in the City/Square Mile than motorists (which was always a correct but slightly misleading headline as cars never really returned to the City after the bomb checkpoints were put in decades ago) - it is also important to note that walking is still the main mode of transport within the Square Mile by a country mile (although at the time of the report at 80% of pre-pandemic levels). And the claim of a "massive jump" in cycling - look at the figures - even in the City (which has become the poster-child for the pro-cycle lobby on the basis of that more cycles than cars headline) the very report that gave that selectively plucked headline showed a very different story that cycling was at 102% of pre-pandemic figures. https://www.forbes.com/sites/carltonreid/2023/03/01/cyclists-now-outnumber-motorists-in-city-of-london/   Attached are the actual numbers from the report presented to the City of London Corporation which tells a very different story from the headlines. You can find it here: https://democracy.cityoflondon.gov.uk/documents/s182959/Appendix 6 Transport Trends Graphs and Charts.pdf  But yes, cyclists do now outnumber motorists in the City of London that is correct but for all of the investment in cycling infrastructure and sacrifices made to bus lanes etc would one have not expected a bigger jump in cycling in the City? Often the headlines are written by the pro-cycle lobby to distract people from the fact that the boom in cycling (as a proportion of all journeys) is just not materialising despite the huge amount of investment to make the cycling revolution happen.  
    • Has anyone got small (4-5 foot) trees to give away? I got a couple of hazels a few years ago from someone on CP Rd but can’t recall where.  I’ve got a few (paid for) dog roses from the wildlife centre near Oglander already so am looking for other suggestions.  Thanks 
    • How about the view of the EDT from over the road  with that palm tree in the middle of  the roundabout?
