Painter/decorator recommendation

Recommended Posts

I just wanted to recommend Darren's Decorating Services based in SE London (see contact details here: http://www.yell.com/biz/darrens-decorating-service-london-901378269/)


Darren recently painted a bedroom and a large kitchen/dining room for us (working at the same time as a plasterer fixing the ceiling - also brilliant, Aaron, found on this forum too). His work is outstanding - we are really pleased. He has real attention to detail and did lots of preparatory work which meant the finished work was first class. Darren is also friendly and trustworthy to have in your home - we had one room painted whilst we were on holiday. He has since given us good advice about exterior painting work we need doing, and we hope to book him in for that work in the spring. He is also knowledgable and helpful in other areas - I had a fridge delivered when he was here and was struggling to connect the filtered water hose to the mains, I popped out and he did it for me!


Fantastic job.

I would also highly recommend Darren. He just finised painting/decorating our lounge and has done a fantastic job - it looks better than I imagined. He was very helpful with his suggestions for the lounge and other bits of work we are having done in the house. Once more rooms are ready to decorate in the house we hope to book Darren again.

I would like to recommend Sam who has just spent a few weeks with us painting several rooms in our house.

He is a lovely person (always happy and pleasant) and was really helpful and patient as I struggled to choose paint colours.

He did a fantastic job and I would absolutely use him again.

You can reach Sam on 07855 878944

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.

This not-for-profit, worker-run, wheelchair accessible music and arts venue at 213-214 Edward Place SE8 5HD THE CRISIS: From Liv, Grace & Sonia, On Friday 31st October, there was a flash flood in Deptford, and we found ourselves with water pouring in through the lighting fixtures, damaging our electrics and sound system.
