Richard from Given Maintenance painted the outside of our house (including windows) and did a brilliant job. As well as being very reasonably priced, he obviously takes pride in his work and we are very happy with the finished result. He arrived and finished on time, and was always quick to respond to texts, which removed any stress out of the process. \r\n\r\nOverall, he was honest, reliable and friendly and did a great job. He was also very patient with my slightly demanding indoor cat and the variety of parcels which kept being delivered to the house! \r\n\r\nI would definitely recommend his services and will use him again for painting or any other general maintenance work in the future.

We had our whole house painted by Richard and I could not recommend him more. He worked very hard to achieve an extremely professional result within a good time frame. He was also very flexible and understanding when we decided on colour changes. Richard has a lovely friendly manner about him and even my 2 year old enjoyed chatting to him every morning. He is very accommodating and made it easy for us to continue with family life as the house was being painted. He provides a trustworthy and friendly service with professional results. More...

Richard has been several times now and always does a top job. The quality of his work is very good and he works really hard to get everything done in such good time. He always goes that extra mile to ensure a great finish by touching up little dents and we rely on his expert advice to get us the best result, which it always is! More...

Our garden was in great need of attention which required a lot of different jobs being undertaken i.e painting decking, fences and sleepers, relaying patio slabs, repointing of front wall and general cleaning of the whole area. From start to finish Richard from Given Maintenance gave a high quality, professional service, at a competitive price. Richard did not scrimp on materials and the outcome of his work is proof of that. Richard is a perfionist and his standard of work is of a high quality. He proved to be honest, trustworthy, reliable, turning up when he agreed the start date, with no missed visits. He arrived early everyday and worked solidly throughout the day, which was evident with the tasks he was able to achieve. He was clean and tidy in his work leaving our garden clutter free everyday. Not only would would we recommend Richard, but we will be contacting him again to undertake work for us in the future. Thank you Richard for making our garden a place for us to enjoy & relax More...

We cannot recommend Richard highly enough!\r\nWe originally asked him to decorate two bedrooms for us, then at the last minute asked him to paint our lounge as well, which he agreed to do within the same timeframes. \r\nHis attention to detail is excellent but what I was most impressed by was his conscientiousness. One of the bedrooms proved particularly problematic due to some dodgy paint that had been used on the walls in the past. Richard went out of his way to improve the surfaces and applied 6 coats of paint to the walls to get the high quality finish he demands!!!\r\nAs if this wasn't impressive enough he completed the entire job in 4 days.\r\nWe have already asked him to help us out again in the future when we have further decorating work planned.\r\nA gentleman and an excellent tradesman.

Quality, cleanness, tidiness and speed are best words to describe Richard\u2019s work. He even accepted in the last minute to close two cut-outs in the ceiling after removing two downlights. Result was impeccable. It's been a pleasure to have him in our home for 5 days and I would definitely recommend him as a decorator. More...

I had previously used the services of Richard Given and he did such a good job I decided to use him again when I moved to a bigger house in December. He has really transformed my home already and always puts in 100%. He knocked out part of our wall on the driveway and cleaned the drive - it looks brand new! \r\nIn addition to this he has decorated our living room to an exceptional standard. He is extremely trustworthy and reasonably priced, I would strongly recommend him as I have done previously. \r\nHopefully he will be back to do our garden in the summer! More...

As well as the rating we have given, we would like to add that Richard of Given Maintenance is very professional and friendly and completed the work as required, but went beyond what was expected and made the whole painting and decorating job even better. The walls and ceilings had irregularities in them but Richard made them level before he painted improving them immensely. Thank you Richard for a job well done! More...
