Des The Decorator - Painting and decorating for both interior and exterior projects


Recommended Posts

I found Des through the forum and he’s been brilliant. He decorated my flat - inside and outside space , to get it ready to sell. He did a great job for a fair price. He communicated really well since we were in Canada. He even replaced carpet that had got damp in the cupboards. A couple of weeks after the job he came back and fixed a faulty toilet. Great chap and I highly recommend him.
Can I jump in on a recommendation for Des - he did an amazing paint and finishing job on our bespoke bookshelves in Victorian front room. A perfectionist who worked through the weekend to get the job finished, and tidied up our fireplace too. Friendly and professional. 07971299009

Likewise we found working with Des just brilliant. We found him through carpenter Greg who alongside Des is part of a local group of trusted tradesmen and whom we found through the forum.

Greg had built a custom storage unit/bookshelf for our living room which Des expertly has painted. Truly a perfectionist and great tradesmanship! Christina

Another shout out for Des - he has painted for us several times, either full rooms or to correct other painting work we have had done - he is an absolute perfectionist, does a great quality job that lasts well, but also efficient and straightforward to deal with and does what he says he is going to do (which seems to be increasingly rare find!) - a diamond for your little black book!

Just want to recommend Des who's virtually painted our entire home. I've never met such a perfectionist. Preps walls properly and cleans up afterwards. Really professional, helpful and a pleasure to have around. He's also done quite a bit of work for neighbours who are equally pleased with the results.

A big recommendation for Des from me. Found him from the forum and got a clear quote for outside repainting our Victorian semi. Des sorted out scaffolding, gave us great advice on paint colour and finish and did a very thorough job. As others have said, he has excellent attention to detail, and is a real perfectionist - all the details were done so well. He also helped fix up a bit of brickwork. Top marks, would recommend!

I can also add to the other recommendations for Des and his team.   Very efficient, helpful and reliable, and couldn't be more pleased with the quality and standard of finish on the job they carried out for us.

Totally recommend and will definitely call him back the next time I need any work carried out.  Don't hesitate to contact him for a quote.

I have worked with Des a few times now and have nothing but good things to say about the quality of his work and his professionalism.  Has real attention to detail and goes above and beyond to get the perfect finish.  

Minimal mess and a thoroughly good guy too.

Happy to provide further details on request.

Recommendation for Des - he just did an exterior paint job on the front of our house and touched up a few bits inside. Very good value, no fuss, no mess, and he came back to do a couple of bits I forgot to ask him to do. Also left him with keys to do the work while we went on holiday. Can't fault the guy.

We hired Des to repaint our hallway and living room. Straight from the off he was superb - ensured the flat was covered properly so there was no risk of drips. The paint job itself is immaculate and we are so pleased. Total professional & a lovely guy - couldn’t recommend more!

Cannot recommend Des The Decorator highly enough. Des & Mark did an amazing job, and the end result (double living room, hallway & staircase, downstairs toilet, bedroom, front door) is better than I envisaged. They were meticulous in their work, creative in offering suggestions to me, and solving little issues in the house that I didn't know I had. Really first class and I will definitely ask them to come back for any future work.

Des and Mark were incredible decorators! They move quickly, are friendly, very clean and have great attention to detail. They are also well priced and go above and beyond to service the client. I have more rooms to paint and Des and Mark will be my main point of contact in the future. 

My partner and I are new to the area and we found Des via this forum. Really glad we went with him, he was able to paint almost our whole house really quickly and for a very reasonable price. The house looks great, plus Des was really nice to work with so would definitely recommend.

Here comes another recommendation for Des and his team!  They have carried out two internal and one external paint jobs over the past couple of months. 
People have commented favourably on the attention to detail. I agree on this - and I am personally impressed by the amount of preparation that goes in before any paint goes on. Also, Des finishes the job in hand and then comes back within the week to check that everything is okay. 
We will, no doubt, be calling on Des re another project in the not too distant future.  David B

    • Would wholeheartedly recommend Aria. Quality work, very responsive, lovely guy as well. 
    • A positive update from Southwark Council - “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.“  
    • A solicitor is acting as the executor for our late Aunt's will.  He only communicates by letter which is greatly lengthening the process.  The vast majority of legal people deal by modern means - the Electronic Communications Act that allows for much, if not all of these means is now 25 years old.   Any views and advice out there? In fuller detail: The value of the estate is not high.  There are a number of beneficiaries including one in the US.  It has taken almost three years and there is no end in sight.  The estate (house) is now damp, mouldy and wall paper falling off the wall. The solicitor is hostile, has threatened beneficiaries the police (which would just waste the police's time), and will not engage constructively. He only communicates by letter.  These are poorly written, curt or even hostile, in a language from the middle of last century, he clearly is typing these himself probably on a type writer.  Of course with every letter he makes more money. We've taken the first steps to complain either through the ombudsman and/or the SRA.  We have taken legal advice a couple of times, which of course isn't cheap, and were told that his behaviour is shocking and we'd be in our right to have him removed through the courts. But.... we just want him to get on with executing the will, primarily selling the house. However he refuses to use any other form of communication but letter.  So writing to the beneficiary in the 'States can take a month to get a reply. And even in this country a week or more. Having worked with lawyers in the past I am aware that email, tele and video conferencing and even text and WhatApp are appropriate means for communication.  There could be an immediate response to his questions.   Help!        
    • Labour should be applauded for bringing in the Renter's Rights Act.  But so many of you are carried away with slagging them off. Married couples with busy lives sometimes forget who did what. On this occasion Mr Rachel Reeves was sorting out the rental agreement.  Ms Reeves was a bit flumoxed with all the grief/demonsing/witch hunts she is getting so forgot to check with her other half.   Not the first or last time this will happen with couples. (That's not having a go at the post above)
