Decorated our hallway and stairs to a fantastic and professional finish. Was an easy process from contacting Paul, getting the quote and finishing the work. Was a pleasure having him and his colleague Mark in my home whilst work was completed. Would 100% recommend them and will absolutely be using again.
Was recommended Paul via a friend of a friend. He was quick to see the work required and even gave us some advice on our décor which was greatly appreciated. I found Paul very professional and clearly understood his trade very well. I was given a very swift quote which I did compare with two other companies and found his quote was a fair price. Based on the recommendation and the quote we went ahead with his services. Paul did a fantastic job of our stairs and living room area only taking a few days to complete, he was very professional during the works and was very tidy, we are so pleased with the final result. Would recommend to anybody.
Initially booked Paul to do stairs and landing, it was an OK price and a good job. Booked to do kitchen, lots of prep, all painting inc. cupboard doors. Late every day (last day agreed 8am start, arrived 9.20am), finished earlier than expected every day, so job lasted a week and a half, not the 4 days expected. All equipment stored (and filled) my conservatory the whole time, whether or not it was needed the next day. Paid for materials based on what I was told. Asked for receipt for paint twice but never got one. Since then I had to buy some of the same again from the same supplier and now realise the actual price. Asked for invoice 3 times for the whole kitchen job, never received. Mark bailed him out on last days because he was so behind, and mark did a great job on his areas. After waiting for paint to dry and given strict instructions not to touch the kitchen, it was a day after the finish that I discovered the poor quality on the rest, and I'm still fixing it now, 3 weeks later!! Sanding not done in several nooks, holes not filled, doors not taken off and handles not removed for painting, splashes everywhere inside base units and some on floors. Paid £1030 total for kitchen job, since then I've received quotes for half that and half the time. Booked because he had availability and I now realise why. Deeply regretting wasting my money and now there's so much to make right myself. Mark - your work was ace, go it alone!!!
Paul was able to fit us in between jobs. We'd recently had a new kitchen and we needed the newly plastered ceiling and walls to be painted. Paul was able to advise on the best approach, products and finish. The work was carried out by Paul and his colleague Mark, and everything was masked off and sheeted, including using bubble wrap under the sheets for extra protection on the worktops and hob. The wall and woodwork surfaces were prepared prior to painting. We'd got a slight gap around the ceiling infill panels, from where our kitchen had been fitted, and during the painting work this gap was also calked to fill it in - this was a nice attention to detail and made for a pristine finish. All the woodwork paint and wall paint was finished to a high standard. Our existing doors were also waxed to smarten them up too. Our kitchen now looks amazing and we're so pleased with it as it's made our new kitchen look even smarter. Thank you, would definitely recommend giving New Look a try.
We had our living room walls and ceiling painted, as well as 6 interior doors varnished and we couldn’t be happier. The service from start to finish was impeccable, Paul and Mark were both very professional and knowledgeable and led us to some great colour choices for our living room. They made sure we were happy with each step in the process and we will definitely be using Paul again in the future when we decorate our other rooms. Lovely people to work with!
Paul has decorated the lounge, kitchen and utilities room for me. Paul was extremely genuine and was completely trustworthy. Nothing was too much trouble for him and his finish on the walls and ceiling (which were problematic) is absolutely first class. If you are looking for someone who is prompt, reasonably priced, trustworthy and professional then New Look Decorators are the people for you. Has been a pleasure to employ.
Paul was fantastic from the start! He has just finished painting our lounge stairs and landing including doors. His work is excellent-his customer service second to none! We had an issue with our radiator and he took it upon himself to contact a plumber colleague and sort this for us within the day! We would definitely recommend him and will be using him again in the future. Thanks so much Paul-we love your work!!
