Daniel Art of Decorating - recommendation


Calsug

Recommended Posts

Just wanted to write a recommendation for Daniel from Art of Decorating, him and his team have done a great job with repainting our house and the finish is fantastic especially considering how bad the woodwork and plastering was to begin with.


Daniel was in contact with me throughout the 3 weeks they were there and would have a meeting with me every few days to discuss progress, problems and offer any suggestions. Every evening we came home to find all the paints, brushes etc? put away, dust sheets removed and the house swept and hoovered which really reduced the stress whilst the work was being done. We have already booked him in to do the wallpapering upstairs once the rooms are ready.


His number is - 07807236489

Just seconding Calsug's recommendation. We found Daniel through previous recommendations on the forum so returning the favour. Great and knowledgeable guy with a great team, kept us fully informed along the way, was clean and tidy and did an excellent job transforming our exterior, hallway and bedroom. Could not recommend him enough and he has recently achieved the 'Which Trusted Trader' accolade too I believe.

I'd like to third the recommendation for Daniel and his team.

I had my flat totally repainted and new kitchen worktop fitted. Despite my tight deadlines nothing was any bother with them, I was kept informed of progress and I'm very happy with the result.


The team were very clean and tidy, and I know they pulled out the stops to hit the deadline which they did with a day to spare. Definitely recommended.

I would like to very much not recommend Daniel. He was booked to decorate my downstairs rooms this week but didn't turn up on Monday and despite me leaving him a message, I had to call him a second time several hours after he didn't turn up, to find out what was going on. He said two of his painters were sick, which is fine of course but the fact that he didn't communicate with me is annoying. He then said they'd be here yesterday at 8am and they again didn't turn up and I've had no communication from Daniel at all about it. He appears to have vanished completely. I have my entire living area packed up and covered with dustsheets, ready to be decorated, and no chance of it being painted for a long time now until I find someone more reliable and trustworthy.


I feel a bit petty putting this on here but I think people need to know that his view of customer relations leaves a lot to be desired. I've not had a call to apologise or explain after two days, which is absolutely not the way to run a business.

Just to add to the above. I've now spoken to Daniel and he's explained that he's been under a lot of pressure this week with two people off sick. I'm sure that when he carries out the work, he does it to a good standard, judging by other reviews on here. Daniel assures me that this was an isolated incident and in future I'm sure he will be in contact with his customers in good time if things have to change at short notice.

Just a follow up on this, we had daniel back to do our wallpapering last week and once again he did a fantastic job. Room was left tidy and was finished to a very high standard.


He even spent some time to give me some painting tips and showed me how to fill/ seal a badly damaged wall and went out to buy the correct filler for me when he realised I didn't have the right stuff for the job.

I'd also like to recommend Daniel and his team. We recently had our hallway, stairway and extension painted. The work was finished to a very high standard - we were really impressed. Will definitely be using his services again when we next need to decorate!

We would also highly recommend Daniel Decorating. They decorated our hallway and landing. Daniel listened carefully when he came round to quote and Terry who did the work was fantastic - really professional, trustworthy and friendly. We were very happy with all aspects of the job and they were reasonably priced.

    • on a practical level found here these have very positive feedback:   Danny - 07943 673482 joeast 12/09/23 Just had my roof replaced by Danny (mobile 07943 673482) who I would highly recommend. He is honest, clean, reliable and explained the work and sent photos as the work progressed. His initial estimate for costs was detailed and close to the actual price of the job. jamondo 07/12/24 Another recommendation for Danny here!  After carrying out extensive work on our property in 2018, we have constantly had problems  with the newly built roof.  Then followed numerous fixes and bodges by the builders then by other so called 'experts' and professionals' charging extortionate amounts and / or giving guarantees that amounted to nothing.  Lots of 'it could be this and that etc...'  Sadly our tale of woe is not uncommon. After getting a number of people to look at the roof - the consensus was that the whole roof needed redoing (it was clear that by now the roof looked a mess with multiple things done wrong or poorly).  We obtained quotes and decided to go with Danny - his was the most competitive but it was not overriding factor behind why we did.  Danny made clear what the quote covered and where there might be extra work required as he got to it (this was fairly minor). He was easy to get a hold of and responded promptly and he was also happy to offer up refences which I did contact and all were happy to vouch for him. Minor downside was that we had a bit of a wait, but it was worth it.  When work started I was kept updated with progress and photos.  Issues were dealt with, and although I'm not an expert by any means the appearance of the work was top.  Most importantly we are leak free! bonzo 17/05/25 Needed a new rear roof for terrace house in East Dulwich and heard about Danny Denton (07943 673482). Have worked with over 20 builders in the past but this guy was way the best - polite, hard working, honest, professional, informative, highly skilled and above all quoted lower than any of the others who came down to view the job. If you need roofing work I would definitely give him a call. If he's busy working else where I assure you he is well worth waiting for. He got the scaffold up and job finished in no time and kept me informed at every stage. Another roofer (who appears on this forum) gave a quote which was three times higher than Danny's.   #########################################################   Norwood Roofing 07412 000 214 Email Address: [email protected] Website: https://norwoodroofing.co.uk/ Fee163 01/01/26 Another 5 star recommendation for David and Patrick. Got in touch with David last week regarding clearing our gutters and as always he quoted immediately and came out within the week to do the job.  We've used David and Patrick for all our roof work for almost 10 years .   They also did an amazing job for my sister who is based outside the area - she couldn't easily find someone local and they stepped in and did a fantastic job (it was quite a big job).  Can't recommend them highly enough, really personable, always reliable and so easy to work with and consistent, just wouldn't work with anyone one else!  Thanks again David and Patrick. caroline5553 12/01/26 Another recommendation for David and Patrick. David came out the same day we called, had scaffolding up by the weekend and the job done on Monday. Really nice guys, never made me feel uncomfortable, easy to work with and seemed to have done a great job. Thanks, David and Patrick! sheppick 15/12/25 I would also recommend David and Patrick. David quoted immediately, and they came and did the work I needed the following week. They fixed my leaking roof and did a number of other jobs for me that were needed on the roof. Really reliable, turned up on time and very reasonable quote. Super easy to deal with and I would highly recommend.  #################################################################   Which Trusted Trader R Tredget & Son 07905829393 or 07956553852  [email protected] http://www.rtredgetandson.com/ OUR FEATURED WORKS Roofing, plumbing, kitchen installation, building, interior decorating, electrical installation, bathroom installation, exterior decorating, tiling, plastering, landscaping & carpentry 02/08/25 This is the second time R. Tredget & Son have carried out works on our property. Part of the work included the repair of cladding on an end gable that Richard had previously installed but it had since been accidentally damaged by another trades-person. I assumed I'd pay for such repair work, as the damage was no fault of his own, but when we discussed this, Richard was adamant he would not charge! Made a lovely job of the repair too. When you turn your home (or part of it) over to builders it often feels like they've taken over. Not so with Richard, Adam and Harrison. They respect your property and are willing to work with you. They keep you informed at every stage, offering suggestions and alternatives as appropriate and they don't take liberties. We are so glad to have found R. Tredget & Son builders: quality work from reliable, hard-working and courteous folks. 10/10/24 Multiple jobs complete to a high standard We've used Richard for a few years now getting our house complete. He and his team have completely refitted our kitchen, replaced ceilings, built internal and external walls, laid flooring, plastered, decorated, fixed guttering, fit skirting boards; the list goes on! They take pride in their work, and every job we've needed doing, they've always done to a high standard. No job was too big or too small for them, and I've no doubt the quality work they've done has increased the value of our house, so a big thanks again for everything they've done. 17/04/24 A Great Family Run Company This was our first time having works done in a new house so we were understandably nervous! From the first meeting with Richard and Adam we knew that we would be in good hands. Nothing that we wanted done was too much of an issue, even if it was a bit more of a challenge to them (unlike some other quotes we got!). They gave clever suggestions but weren't pushy with it and had good ideas! We had a whole new bathroom installed and then some structural work done around the house. The guys always made sure that they left the house in a clean state at the end of every day, which really made a difference to our standard of living during the works. Richard, Michelle, Adam, and H were trustworthy and communication was perfect throughout. We used some of their guys for boiler/electrics too and they were also great. Would highly recommend taking them on for your works!       
    • Bit of a long-shot, but I dropped my glasses somewhere along my run last night, after taking them off due to the rain. The glasses are Giorgio Armani with grey frames. My running route attached, so they could be anywhere along this route. If you've found them, please get in touch! 07971806292 Many thanks James
    • I'm in the middle of the civil service pension crisis with no pension for 4 months and counting. No access to the much publicised loans either. I have emailed Helen Hayes several times. It took her 6 weeks to contact Capita on my behalf but no follow up, no reply, she didn't attend the Westminster Hall debate about the issue either. Lots of other MPs are speaking and acting on behalf of their constituents but I've had no joy. Has anyone else please? What works to get help from Helen Hayes?
    • Our cat Suki has gone missing from Keston Road near Goose Green. Please let us know if you see her anywhere or can check your sheds and gardens. You can contact us me on 07980308743 or [email protected].  Thanks Chris
