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

    • Wow I had no idea they give you 5% in perfume for your accommodation. You're right, I need to travel more. 
    • Do none of you go abroad.  Tourist taxes are really common in continental Europe and do vary a lot city by city. They are collected by the hotels/rental apartments. They are usually a  tiny part of your holiday costs.  In Narbonne recently we paid €1.30 per person per night.  The next town we went to charge 80 cents per person per night. By comparison Cologne is 5% of your accomodation.
    • Hey Sue, I was wrong - I don't think it would just be for foreign tourists. So yeah I assume that, if someone lives in Lewisham and wants to say the night in southwark, they'd pay a levy.  The hotels wouldn't need to vet anyone's address or passports - the levy is automatically added on top of the bill by every hotel / BnB / hostel and passed on to Southwark. So basically, you're paying an extra two quid a night, or whatever, to stay in this borough.  It's a great way to drive footfall... to the other London boroughs.  https://www.ukpropertyaccountants.co.uk/uk-tourist-tax-exploring-the-rise-of-visitor-levies-and-foreign-property-charges/
    • Pretty much, Sue, yeah. It's the perennial, knotty problem of imposing a tax and balancing that with the cost of collecting it.  The famous one was the dog licence - I think it was 37 1/2 pence when it was abolished, but the revenue didn't' come close to covering the administration costs. As much I'd love to have a Stasi patrolling the South Bank, looking for mullet haircuts, unshaven armpits, overly expressive hand movements and red Kicker shoes, I'm afraid your modern Continental is almost indistinguishable from your modern Londoner. That's Schengen for you. So you couldn't justify it from an ROI point of view, really. This scheme seems a pretty good idea, overall. It's not perfect, but it's cheap to implement and takes some tax burden off Southwark residents.   'The Man' has got wise to this. It's got bad juju now. If you're looking to rinse medium to large amounts of small denomination notes, there are far better ways. Please drop me a direct message if you'd like to discuss this matter further.   Kind Regards  Dave
