“I had Nigel round to repaint an upstairs bedroom. He did an absolutely outstanding job. He is professional in everything he does. He's also a really nice person who I got on with very well. I am going to have him round again for another bedroom a bit later in the year. If you're looking for quality work then Stanton will not disappoint.”

We recently had the exterior of our large property painted, and we couldnt be more pleased with the results! Nigel and team were punctual, arriving on time every day and completing the job within the agreed timeframe. Its always a relief to work with someone so reliable. From start to finish, they were trustworthy and showed a great deal of care and professionalism. We felt confident leaving them to get on with the job, knowing that our home was in good hands. One thing that really stood out was how clean and tidy they were throughout the entire process, the site was kept immaculate, and they made sure everything was in order at the end of each day. Their friendly demeanor made communication easy, and they were happy to answer any questions or accommodate any specific requests we had. Overall, we would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a skilled, professional, and friendly decorator. They exceeded our expectations in every way!
Excellent job. Transformed a stained and slightly damaged large ceiling and coving back to good as new in one day. Great spray painting job
Nigel and Elliott did a fantastic job of re-spraying our kitchen cupboards, their workmanship is of an excellent standard and the kitchen looks fantastic. They kept us well informed of their schedule and were professional, polite and a pleasure to have in our home. A great way to refresh your kitchen. Very highly recommended!
Nigel has done a couple of painting/wall papering jobs for us and I cannot fault him. The finish has been absolutely amazing, smooth walls and perfect lines. He is punctual, tidy, friendly and we've been happy to leave him in the house while we go about our busy lives. He is fastidious and his attention to detail is second to none! We have a long list of jobs for Nigel and foresee working with him for years to come. We would highly recommend Stanton Decorating.
Nigel and his crew were highly professional and did an excellent job decorating the outside of our house despite the local weather causing unavoidable delays. The quality of the finishing was superb, absolutely faultless. All the crew were friendly, tidy and quiet ! Nigel provided good advice on paint type and wood finishes appropriate for our situation. All in all a great outfit, we would highly recommend Stanton Decorating.

Nigel and his son Elliot have done a brilliant job restoring our very dilapidated house. They offer much more than you would expect from a decorating team. They can replace and repair rotten wood work so that it looks as good as new and have an extensive knowledge of what paint works best on different surfaces. They are perfectionists and all their work from preparation to finish is excellent. Nigel and Elliot were a pleasure to have around. Clean, tidy, reliable, cheerful, trustworthy and excellent communicators. I would highly recommend Stanton Decorating to anyone and will be using them again on the inside of my house.
Nigel came to see me on time as arranged to discuss the job in hand. Elliot his son did the work promptly. He and Nigel were very friendly and worked in an efficient,clean and helpful manner. On completing the painting of my bedroom, i had a big smile on my face and a warm, pleasing glow of delight at the change of the room! Highly recommend Stanton decorators Thank you so much both Susan
I would strongly recommend Nigel and his team as a great choice for your decorating needs. Nigel is old school professional and has been doing this for his working life. It shows in his meticulous prep and eye for detail . We are very happy with the work he just completed for us . He is reliable and hard working and a lovely friendly guy as well - we will be asking him back in the summer for another job without hestitation.
Nigel and his team were amazing. I am so impressed by their quality of work and dealing with an old home with lots of challenges. They did impeccable work with all the steps that will ensure the paint job is durable and looks professional. They were so friendly, accommodating and reliable which made it easy to have them in our home for the time it took to complete the work. I will definitely call them again when We need more decorating done!
Would absolutely recommend Stanton decorating! Nigel is professional in his work, reliable, cheerful and courteous. Would have no hesitation in requesting Nigel for any future work required.
Over two weeks in Jan 22 Nigel, Elliott and Gemma decorated the inside of our house. They worked hard and efficiently and were lovely people. The quality of their work was very impressive - they even managed to remove wood chip paper from an old wall and get a smooth finish! We would not hesitate to recommend them.
I simply could not recommend Nigel and the team enough. Their attention to detail is second to none and they worked tirelessly to finish the job for me when time was against us. We were advised by other companies that the finish we wanted would not be possible, Nigel rubbished that down to them not wanting to put the hard work in. Stanton Decorating did put the hard work in and gave us an incredible finish, especially as its a grade 2 listed building with plenty of lumps and bumps. Got to be the best in the business I think
Nigel and his team have extremely high level attention to detail. We are very pleased with the quality and the durability of the spray finished cupboards and cabinetry. I would use Stanton Decorating on future job.
Nigel provided a very professional service from start to finish... the job was quite complicated in the range of paints used and the size of the job... always in time and always helpful with information as to how things where progressing... I would highly recommend Nigel and his team...
Nigel and his team decorated my house from top to bottom to a very high standard. Being someone who is quite fussy and hard to please, I was especially happy with the finishing touches, which I feel is testament to his work ethic and general attitude.. He understood exactly what I wanted and he certainly delivered. I was lucky to have come across Stanton Decorating on line as I would have to go a long way to have received the same consideration, professionalism and communication - the latter of which is paramount to me as the customer. I trusted him right from our initial contact and felt confident in giving him my key and leaving him to it. Many thanks Nigel, Jordan and Elliott Would absolutely recommend - First class all round service
