“Steve and his team took on the job and commenced work at short notice to completely refresh the walls, doors and ceilings of a flat that had fallen into disrepair - they were combatting high levels of mould and the very shoddy work of previous decorators over the years. They supplied regular updates throughout the project, and despite being short staffed for most of that time, still met the completion deadline we'd agreed to. The quality of paints used was excellent and the extra attention to detail was appreciated eg: painting the tops of the doors and removing door handles.”

Highlights
“I brought an Edwardian house in Hythe, Kent in December 2023 and wanted to have the property completely repainted both inside and outside as quickly as possible. I appreciated Steve’s friendly, thorough, and honest approach and following the quick receipt of a fair and detailed quote chose to proceed with the work. Much of the work was conducted while I was abroad and I was able to trust Steve and his team completely. They’ve done an incredible job in a tight timescale and I’ve been very impressed with how they respect and care for your property and the high quality finish they deliver.”
“The team from S&G did a fantastic job decorating our bedroom & ensuite bathroom. Their attention to detail in preparation & final finish was faultless. Throughout the whole process from quote to completion, communication with Steve and his team was extremely good with a ‘no surprises’ approach. The two man on-site team of Justin & Josh were very considerate and professional throughout: on time each day, hardworking, no loud music and we couldn’t even tempt them to mugs of tea! Overall a very positive experience. We would highly recommend and would have no hesitation in using S&G again.”
