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.

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
