Mark Richards

Mark repaired an internal wall that had been damaged by water and then painted the room in my chosen colour. The work was completed promptly and the room was kept clean as it was progressing. I am very satisfied and will use this trader again.

Mark redecorated the living and dining area, lobby, stairs and landing for us. He has done an excellent job within the time he gave for completing the work. He was always punctual and polite, was flexible with dates and made a number of helpful suggestions as to how we could achieve the desired end result. We can highly recommend him.

Mark’s 100% excellent reviews led us to select him for our required work. Our first impressions of him were that he was most courteous, professional, informative and knowledgeable and we had no hesitation in asking him to completely redecorate our spare bedroom, which involved removing all the ghastly wood chip paper, filling, lining the walls and completely painting them and the woodwork. Right from the start we knew we had made the right choice. Mark was punctual, thorough, skilful, careful and precise. He was relaxed, friendly and especially helpful. The work was completed to a very high standard and we were extremely delighted by the room’s transformation. We would have absolutely no hesitation in using Mark again and I particularly recommend him to anyone who needs a super, highly-skilled decorator. He is first-class.

Mark did a great job painting the exterior of our house, staircase, hall and landing. He was good humoured throughout and I have no hesitation in recommending him. Mark showed interest in the job when he came to give a quote, putting thought into how he would tackle it, such as reaching an inaccessible part of the exterior and dealing with cracks in the walls in our upstairs landing. He gave a competitive quote and completed the work with a minimum of fuss to a high standard and on budget. He was meticulous in detail, even cleaning off old paint from door handles that had been there for decades. His work speaks for itself: two neighbours took Mark’s details after seeing how he has transformed the exterior of our house, and we have already asked him to quote for some additional work.

Mark decorated living room, 3 bedrooms and hallway after re-wiring and re-plastering, finishing off the fiddly bits which the plasterer had left. He was reliable, friendly and left everything clean and tidy, we hope he will do some other work in due course.

Mark Richards decorated my bedroom, landing, stairs and hallway. Such a transformation. Mark was always on time, friendly and very helpful. This is the first time he has worked at my property but I have a few friends who recommended him and I will also pass his details on. I definitely will be using him again. Mark is Friendly, Reliable and Trustworthy.

I was looking for a painter/decorator for a repaint job. After calling around several traders, I decided to go with Mark for three main reasons: 1) He came to the property himself to directly assess what work was required, took exact measurements and discussed with me the different types of paint and other solvents needed for the best result. He answered all my questions in detail, which I appreciated a lot. 2) He was able to guarantee the completion of the job within a short deadline, which incidentally included starting on a weekend at 8am to finish by mid week afternoon. 3) The quote provided had clear work details, breakdown of the costs and was competitively priced. Not only did he finish the job earlier than expected, he was always unfailingly courteous and friendly. The result of his work was extremely clean and professional too - in fact, he left the property cleaner than it was originally! Additionally, on receiving the final invoice, it totalled slightly cheaper as the materials costed a little less than expected. I highly recommend Mark, not only for the quality of his work and flexibility to fit to your schedule, but also for his honesty and amazing work ethic. I will certainly be returning to him for other future jobs!

Repainted two rooms after extensive water damage, looks great, very helpful in responding to questions, punctual, left it all really clean and tidy, very professional. Clearly committed to doing a good job. Would certainly use again.

Mark decorated two rooms for us and our hall and landing. He was excellent throughout, ensuring we had the right paint, very flexible and easy to get in touch with. His work was of a high quality and he really did care about doing a good job. We would highly recommend Mark.

I asked Mark to decorate my son's bedroom. It was a tight timescale as we wanted it done before we moved into the house, but Mark was very accommodating and managed to fit us in. Mark turned up when he said he would and finished by the time we agreed. He was, at all times, pleasant, helpful (eg collecting the paint for me as I don't drive) and reliable. My son's room looks great, and both my son and I are delighted with it. I've asked Mark to quote to decorate the rest of the house and I can't wait until it's all looking as good as my son's bedroom! I'd highly recommend him.
