Recommended painter/decorator/DIY


Recommended Posts

Wanted to recommend Louise Sunderland, who's helped me with a lot of DIY recently while I was renovating my kitchen. She ripped out the old kitchen, sanded and varnished a pretty knackered wooden floor (pic attached), painted & decorated and built alcove shelves (two pictures attached). She also reinstated a previously bricked-up fireplace.


She's reliable, punctual and a total perfectionist - even fixing things in my flat that I hadn't noticed needed attention (like a missing bit of skirting board & replacing broken floorboards). As well as having super high standards, she's great at giving general DIY advice - I took up lots of her recommendations from which paint types to use, to how to manage a tricky situation with a plasterer who hadn't finished his job properly.


She's a lovely person who I happily trusted to let herself in & out of my home, and she always tidied up after herself too. My only hesitation in recommending her is the fear that she's going to get too busy to do any more work for me.


Her email is [email protected]

We have also just used Louise to carry out a fair bit of decorating for us including lots of woodwork and wall painting. She also renovated our old staircase (including fixing/replacing the lose and old boards) and I can't recommend her highly enough. Hardworking, efficient, trust worthy and fair. She has done a great job and we will definitely be using her in the future.

Louise is really great at what she does. She has just done a wonderful job in a bedroom at our house, making good the floorboards and painting them. The room has been transformed. This is the 5th time I've asked her to do something and every single time she does a great job. She's fun to have around, reliable and very good value for money. Will be using again to do another room very soon.

Louise Sunderland is absolutely brilliant - she recently did a few painting and decorating jobs for us in Forest Hill (mainly our front door/porch) and as well as being really friendly, she is an absolute perfectionist. She was also really helpful with regard to colour choice, etc., she's clean, tidy, punctual and completely transparent and honest about costs/hours etc. We'll definitely be asking Louise to do future work for us - I cannot recommend her enough.

I would like to add my recommendation for Louise's work. She has repainted the whole of our flat (in Catford), which required a lot of preparation, to a fantastic standard.

Louise is the complete professional. She works to an extremely high standard and is 100% reliable. She is punctual, very tidy, reasonably priced and really nice to have around.

I would have no hesitation to recommend her to anyone.

I don?t normally do this but really wanted to add a recommendation for Louise. She recently spent 4 days preparing and painting my son?s bedroom as well as our hallway. We couldn?t have asked for better service or a better result. Louise is an absolute professional and obviously takes great pride in her work. The finish on the walls is impeccable and when we returned from our holiday there wasn?t a speck of paint on a carpet, floorboard or sink. She was also completely transparent about her costs and how long the job would take. I am so so pleased that we asked Louise to complete the work - and I?m almost reluctant to write this as I am sure she is very quickly accruing an loyal fan base and will soon be booked up until 2020.

    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
    • Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
