Painting and decorating company recommendation?


BikeChick

Recommended Posts

Hi there

We are buying a new house in August and I am looking for a top notch painting and decorating recommendation to come in and strip wallpaper and paint the top floor of the house over a 2 week period BEFORE we move in. It is 3 bedrooms, a box room, a laundry room and a bathroom.

Can anyone recommend a really good, reliable team?

Thank you!

Hi, we use Dave Sutherland and his team. They plastered and decorated most of the rooms in our house, and also painted the outside of the house. We found Dave via this forum and are so pleased we did as we have used him a number of times and are always delighted with the quality of his work. His number is 07951 810251.
Duncan Marlow, he's a one man band but very focused and cracks on. I used a company highly recommended from this site who's marketing said they were more detailed than other companies etc and they were really expensive so the next time I had to do up a place I tried Duncan as his cost was more reasonable and I had about what seemed like ten miles of skirting etc to get done and he was better, real attention to detail. I don't have his number to hand but he should come up on a search of the site.

Hi there I?m a dulux select decorator registered with trustmark and checkatrade.after the 13 th August I can do but not before as on holiday.thanks Eric at mode decorating 07872324935 [email protected]

We use airless spraying for ceilings and walls for speed and the ultimate finish and also hvlp for spraying woodwork and trim kitchen units and furniture and we also use traditional brush and roller system.we are decorators not builders or handyman.

Hello there BikeChick,


If you haven't sourced decorators for your new home yet do feel free to give me a call to discuss your project.


I am a locally based artist. However, I also decorate to support my studio time and have access to a small team to take on larger contracts, a bit about us.


Rupert and I, are both locally based professional artists and decorators, both with over 20 years experience in high calibre painting, decorating and light building works. We both have a great understanding of all paints, decorating materials and pay great attention to detail. The majority of our work comes through recommendations and/or local forums and we have many delighted clients in Dulwich, Herne Hill, Fulham and Pimlico.


If you don't require our decorating service perhaps you'd like some art for you bare walls?

    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.  
    • Nothing to do with the topic of this thread, but I have to say, I think it is quite untrue that people don't make human contact in cities. Just locally, there are street parties, road WhatsApp groups, one street I know near here hires a coach and everyone in the street goes to the seaside every year! There are lots of neighbourhood groups on Facebook, where people look out for each other and help each other. In my experience people chat to strangers on public transport, in shops, waiting in queues etc. To the best of my knowledge the forum does not need donations to keep it going. It contains paid ads, which hopefully helps Joe,  the very excellent admin,  to keep it up and running. And as for a house being broken into, that could happen anywhere. I knew a village in Devon where a whole row of houses was burgled one night in the eighties. Sorry to continue the off topic conversation when the poor OP was just trying to find out who was open for lunch on Christmas Day!
