Highlights
“The work was done very efficiently & to a high standard. We were very pleased with the results. Our painter & decorator was very helpful with advice and was very punctual. We would certainly use them again.”
“Steve did two jobs for me over Feb/March, decorating both the stairwell/hallway and my bedroom, as well as building a cupboard in my bedroom. He was very clear about the costs, turned up when he said he would and the quality of the work was very good. Sean and Nathan, who did the work, were polite, friendly and dedicated. If you want a quick in and out job with no mess and disruption, this is not the company for you, but if you want quality work and professional finish I would recommend them.”
Detailed reviews
Brilliant professional service
Steve and his team carried out decorating work over our whole house in two sessions, and on both occasions the work they did was excellent. Communication was always great and proactive, and the whole team were very professional in the way they managed their work. They were flexible and accommodating in the way they did things so our family life fitted alongside, but managed to be on schedule and on budget at the same time. Have recommended to friends and would highly recommend to others looking for a high quality finish from a friendly and helpful team.

Exceptional job done yet again
This is the third time we’ve used Steve and his team. We are so delighted with the results and as usual the whole experience for the duration (two weeks) was as professional as it possibly could’ve been.

Exceptional standard
Splash have just finished painting our Victorian hallways, including landings over three floors, and they also did our kitchen. Three very professional decorators took three weeks and we could not be happier with the service and finish of their workmanship. We are a busy household of six (not to mention cats and dog. Nathan, Alan, and Luca were clean and tidy, courteous and considerate at all times, I was also kept well informed of each stage, costings and timings. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or recommend them highly enough.

First rate, I could not be happier
From my first meeting with Steve, when his knowledge and expertise were apparent, I felt I could trust him to do a good job. Nathan and his team really care and work to the highest professional standard. The outside of my house was in poor condition with peeling masonry, badly crumbling stone window sills and railings with rust patches and flaking paint. Now the outside of my house has never looked better and I am amazed at how they have rebuilt the sharp corners on the sills, which look new. I also had the wooden front door, kitchen windows and French doors repainted, inside and out, and the finish is superb. The team are conscientious, work together smoothly and efficiently and their experience is evident in the thoroughness of their preparation, their attention to detail and the excellence of the result. They have loads of equipment but do their very best to minimise the disruption, are always extremely considerate and tidied up each day. I also appreciated that Nathan ensured that I was consulted and kept informed throughout the job. For me Steve's firm is a rare find, one that I would highly recommend and I am already talking to him about my next job, inside the house.

Great work
Steve and his team did a great job painting my external windows and masonry. They also carried out thorough repairs to woodwork. All the work was done to a high standard and on budget within the original quote. This is the third time I’ve used Splash and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Internal conservatory redecoration
Steve and his team are reliable, punctual and straightforward. If unexpected issues arise, these are discussed and any additional work is undertaken at a reasonable cost. The site is cleaned and tidied at the end of each day. The team is actually a pleasure to have in your home. We are lining up more work for Steve!

Another fantastic job
Steve and his team redecorated my kitchen last year and we were so pleased with the quality of their workmanship that we booked them again to do the outside of our house. It is a big job, with all the brickwork needing to be painted. They spent a lot of time in preparation, as is correct, repairing any rotten wood and making sure everything was sound before they got their brushes out. We were regarding this as a maintenance job, so in a way, we weren’t thinking about how much we would love the way the house looked when they had finished, but because they were so meticulous, our house looks so fresh, clean and renewed! We couldn’t be happier with the work they did. I would also like to say how nice Steve’s team are. They are punctual, tidy and polite. They are genuinely a pleasure to have around. Inevitably there is going to be some inconvenience when you have work done on your house, but they tried to minimise any nuisance and always communicated what was was going on and what we should expect. They are not cheap, but you definitely get what you pay for. I recommend Steve and his team wholeheartedly.

Great work, very considerate
The Splash team (Steve, Nathan and colleagues) did an excellent job painting the outside of our house. They took a lot of care in the preparation to ensure a neat job, advised where some additional work was required (at a very fair cost), and carried out the work efficiently and to a very high standard. They were also very considerate - tidying up and the end of each day - and always polite. I would highly recommend their services.

Very professional, considerate and high quality service
Steve and his team were to appointed to paint the outside of my house. There was clear communication as to when the works were being carried out and great care was taken with the inside and outside of the property. The job was carried out to a high standard and I’m really pleased with the final result. Would highly recommend splash painters.

External Redecoration
As previous reviews have stated, I cannot commend Steve and his lovely team highly enough. Professional, reliable, pleasant to have around the house, considerate, clear communication - and the house looks fabulous! This is the second phase of work they have executed with us and we have scheduled at least two more for later this year and early next year. Can we allot 6 stars, please?!

Internal redec
Steve and the team redecorated two rooms in the loft conversion. THe standard of work was superlative. There was close attention to detail and huge consideration for the householder. There was upfront discussion about potential problems. There were no surprises about issues or big deviations from the estimate. I have recommended the firm. So much so, that I recommended that I work them again!

Excellent Trandesmen!
We had the front and back of our house painted by Steve and Nathan and no praise would be high enough. Our windows appeared beyond repair and the exterior of the house had not been painted for well over 20 years. Steve and Nathan burnt off every layer of old paint and then painstakingly repaired the windows. Our house now looks like all windows have been replaced with new and a neighbour asked if we had bought a new front door. We are extremely pleased with their level of professionalism, they are perfectionists and went beyond what we expected of them. They cleared every bit of debris away. I lost count of how many coats of paint they applied to our woodwork. They were such pleasant and amiable people and nothing was too much trouble for them - they even took time to talk to our cats! They completely restored our faith in tradesmen and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

High-quality exterior painting job
Steve and his son did an excellent job repainting exterior walls, sills, metalwork and wooden doors. There was lots of attention paid to the prep of surfaces which were previously in poor condition, and to ensuring a high-quality finish. Pricing was fair for the length of the job and the standard of finish achieved. Disruption was kept to a minimum. The work took a bit longer and cost slightly more than originally planned - due largely to weather and other factors outside anyone's control - but this was reasonable given the nature of the project. Steve and his son worked hard to get the job done swiftly and the end result was worth it.

Great job!
Thanks to Steve and Nathan for a great job painting the outside back wall of my terraced house. They really made efforts to keep area clean and splash-free - including windows and window frames. Turned up on time, worked through the day and took pride in their work.

Excellent work
Over several months I have had the whole of the inside of the house painted. The work is excellent. Despite the fact that I have to spend hours cleaning after they have left, I would not hesitate in using them again.

Victorian house beautiful painting job
Lovely job on outside of our Victorian house, restored my faith in having work done. Steve and Marcus arrived every day on time and stayed throughout the day (no disappearing for hours.) They prepared the house before starting protecting all the areas they needed to access.Their work is fantastic, concrete sills repaired, paintwork stripped right back,nothing was too much trouble. Good value for quality work. A lovely team that were a pleasure to have around.

great job, could do better on the paperwork
Steve and Nathan did some outdoor painting for us this summer. Overall the work was good and the painters were friendly and nice to have around, clearing up after themselves etc. I needed paper invoice and receipts for my files, the invoice eventually came, before the job... the receipt still hasn't arrived despite chasing. I know tradespeople are busy in London, but I would still expect the relevant paperwork to arrive promptly..
