Exterior painter needed ASAP - I've been let down


Recommended Posts

Please help, I'm looking for a for a good painter/decorator to sort out my window frames.


Last year I contacted Chris E Smith (07951251295) as he had done quite a lot of work in the area and seemed like a nice chap. Anyway he only did a third of the work and has been delaying coming back for over 9 months! I seriously would not recommend him - it's been so frustrating - I don't have much time to follow up and chase with two small kids and working full time, his communication has been so poor. I just want to get the job done now!


Please please please let me know if you have some good local recommendations.


Many thanks.

Hi DGreenhalgh,


I am a Painter & Decorator and I'm deeply sorry to hear what has happened. As a sole trader, my registered address is on my website, quotes and invoice, and on my facebook page. Every quote has Terms & Conditions which protects us both from any form of misbehaviour from the decorator (myself) and the customer.


Feel free to check out my facebook on www.facebook.com/idecorate to see what previous customers have said about my work, before and after pics with videos to peruse and choose. I have never disappointed a customer and I plan to never disappoint one. I encourage you to contact myself directly on 07872576883 to have a conversation about how your window frames will be taken care of and a time frame of when to have them finished


Kind regards,




Michael Barsoum

Hi Diane


Just seen this message on the eastdulwichforum, after someone informed me that this was on here.


I would just like to mentioned that I work all over Dulwich and have worked for Dulwich College for sixteen years, and I have never received anything like this before. The reason why I didn't return to do the next stage of your decorating was because I was worried that I would not get paid as you asked me to wait for payment and, as your remember, your mother eventually had to pay me because you never had the money! As a working father with three children to support I cant not wait for payment once I have finished my work. You shouldn't have work done if you haven't got the money.


I am currently working for a barrister in Dulwich who says that this definition of character and you have no right to put my name and private telephone number on this forum for everyone to see. As mentioned, I am a father of three and this could have effected me getting work around the Dulwich area and loss of earnings. I am able to get references from all of my clients who are more than happy with my work.


Could you please remove this immediately otherwise I will be seeking legal advice.

    • It doesn't matter what channel it was on, how pernicious the subject is and when it happened. Mis-representing the truth in broadcast is not only morally wrong, it's against the OFCOM code of ethics.  Everyone in the industry is trained in how not to do it, most are made to take the BBC's own 'Safeguarding the Trust' course, even if they aren't making BBC programmes.  There wasn't much fuss at the time, because no one knew about it.  "Unless you hate Britain, hate liberals, hate the BBC, want a divided country, support the most powerful person in the world despite his many failings". What the programme makers personally think or feel should never affect how they tell a story; to do so is deeply unprofessional and a sackable offence.  It's the job of the BBC and of all programming to inform viewers of the facts and let them make up their own minds. Even in campaigning documentaries.   
    • Hadn't realised that the Panorama programme that people are up in arms about was over a year ago.  There wasn't much fuss at the time so why drag it up.  Unless you hate Britain, hate liberals, hate the BBC, want a divided country, support the most powerful person in the world despite his many failings. The programme was clumsy, but the vast majority of us know that Trump had an influence.  So the Telegraph has played into his hands.
    • I tried a Lime bike once, too heavy and bulky for me but I understand that many really like them.  And very much support the concept.
