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.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
