I honestly cannot praise David and his team enough. From the quote stage, up until the job was finished (decorating my entire flat) the team were efficient, polite, considerate and professional. I’m delighted with the end result. I highly recommend this company. More...

Thank you, Simon. It was an absolute pleasure — such nice, calming, and welcoming colour choices to work with.

So glad a friend recommended Reed. David and Alex impressed from the start with their professional, friendly, organised approach. Always punctual, well-planned and considerate, it was a pleasure to have them working in the flat. They really went the extra mile for a perfect finish and have transformed my jaded windows and ceiling. Will definitely be my first port of call for future decorating work. More...

REED Decorators did an excellent job repainting our entire three bedroom flat. They were prompt and reliable, hardworking and efficient. We are really pleased with the finish and would recommend them without reservation. (The small pots of touch-up paint were a final nice touch!) More...

I can only say what others have already. Friendly, professional and so helpful, nothing is too much trouble. Clean and tidy and doing little extras. Great people to have about and so respectful that it is your home. Did an absolutely great job for me, transformed my flat, could not be more pleased. Would highly recommend them and use them again myself as well. More...

David painted my very odd shaped hall/landing and stairs. Such a professional. Nothing was too much and the job was done on time, on budget and to an excellent standard, no need to look further next time I want some quality decorating completed! Thanks so much.

Reed Decorators did a truly excellent job in redecorating our home last week. They were punctual, efficient and caused the minimum of disruption. The quality of the work was excellent and we would have no hesitation in recommending their use to others. More...

Incompetent, two attempts at fitting a shelf to a decent standard. Boards not cut straight and tried covering it up with poorly fitted, 70s style quadrant.
I mean, look at it. Boards have nails fired through the surface despite specifically asking for them to be fitted correctly. Sink piping was painted black, again, just look at it.
Dave also quoted us £2400 for an open wardrobe frame, of which, thankfully, we had completed by someone else to a beautiful standard for £800. Unjustifiable and frankly pretty shameful.
Comes across very likeable and does a good "we'll make it special" sales pitch, but despite polite requests has no intention of putting this right. The young lad who we orignally assumed was the apprentice is actually the carpenter, not Dave. Feels like we got guinea pigged. Our advice would simply be to avoid.

After years of happy customers, this is our first ever negative review (please look at Bark reviews for years of happy customers) It's been 6 months since we left you as a happy customer so this comes as a bit of a shock. George is a fully qualified city and guilds carpenter and a 50% partner in the business so you were certainly not a guinea pig. We went the extra mile to achieve your goal, we fitted the new custom-made worktop and then you decided you had changed your mind about the colour you had picked so we came back and completed the work a second time (within a few days at no extra cost). During drying times we repainted your full bathroom, painted a feature wall in your bedroom and had a qualified plumber fit new taps in your kitchen (all free of charge). I myself missed the second coat on the pipework which is under and behind the sink though I will have to accept that mistake and learn from it. As for the trim, this is standard practice to be pinned down to be secured. I'm not sure why you have now decided you don't like the trim and you have lifted it, it covers the imperfections in the wall of your very old cottage (which are seen in your picture) and was treated to blend in with the new solid wood custom worktops. This was a bespoke worktop setup fitted by a fully qualified Plumber, Carpenter and Decorator, sourcing 20-year-old scaffold boards, treated with top quality Osmo oils for around £500, the work was completed twice as you changed your mind on the colour as it was important to me you were left with an end result you could enjoy

GDR re-decorated the interior of our whole house over a period of just under 3 weeks. They assisted in choosing the correct type of paint and choice of brands for all the walls, ceilings and doors, including the supply of charts for our colour choices.
Their working practice was to allow us the maximum space as they went from room to room and were respectful of our home possessions and timetables. They were extremely trustworthy and were frequently left alone in the house.
The workmanship from their three man team was excellent, they were extremely polite and they left our house very tidy at the end of each day. We would highly recommend this young company who definitely go the extra mile.

I cannot recommend these guys enough, their attention to detail and thoroughness is second to none. There were some real nasty walls to deal with, chunks missing etc but they made it look like new and have transformed our house, we are very happy with the results. Nothing was too much trouble and they even painted a few extra bits to make it look new again, thank you again GDR! More...

We have used GDR Renovations several times. Firstly when doing up our Airbnb which we were extremely happy with then in a hallway which required decorating but also boxing in and a dado rail. We have also used the team in our own living room and bathroom which required some plastering and damp proofing. We hope to have them help us again with the rest of our home and would recommend them to anyone looking for an experienced, friendly, thoughtful and efficient service. 5 ⭐️’s from us and a beautiful home to match 👍.

DR Painting Services redecorated the whole of my flat. They worked hard the whole time they were here and the job was quickly finished to a very high standard.
My furniture was carefully moved and covered completely along with the flooring. Afterwards, everything was returned where I wanted it. They were courteous and very professional.
I cannot recommend DR Painting Services highly enough.

What inspired you to start your own business?
After working for companies completing works such as the Brighton Pavilion, Sion House, St Pancras Staion and Heathrow airport I developed a passion for decorating. Working nights and traveling was something I was not so fond of so I decided to complete work I enjoyed in my local area helping renovate people's homes to their former glory.
