“The company responded promptly to my listing and came to inspect works within a day. Quote soon followed and date agreed. I am very pleased with the work. The team turned up on time covered very carefully all areas not to be painted. Cleared up afterwards and were happy to help with moving furniture books etc. I would have no hesitation in recommending them. I certainly intend to use them again.”

This was an excellent experience. Dan from The Works went above and beyond to paint the entire home and lay the flooring. His work was tidy, quick and quoted a price I felt happy with. I heartily recommend The Works for painting and flooring.

Great job. Very happy Dan sorted extra bits that needed doing. Had another company in before who where useless . I can only thank the works for the great job they did and for sorting all the problems the other cowboys left. Excellent thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻

Dan was knowledgeable regarding different products and gave us good advice. He was very thorough washing and preparing the walls before he began painting. He worked efficiently and tidily, clearing up at the end of the job. We are very happy with his work

From quote to end Dan and team had a professional attitude and eye for details. After new year we wanted a new look within our property to make for a fresh feel to the year. Dan and team came in and fully surpassed our expectation on both speed and finish, preparing surfaces and walls to an excellent standard leaving a great finish and a result they should be proud of! Definitely recommend and will be using them again without fail.

Beautifully painted and very clean lines. We are very happy and the rooms look so good now. I had never used a decorating company before and The Works Decorating have done a great job starting with really careful preparation. Dan and Charlie were very professional, polite and friendly. They worked really efficiently and were tidy too. Very nice to deal with. I would definitely ask the company to do more work. Thanks for doing such a great job!

All aspects of this project were excellent. Obtaining quotation, reasonable price, being friendly and pleasant while in our house, clean and tidy and the quality of the finished work. We would not hesitate to have The Works for the next required painting
Exterior House Painting
Dan has just finished painting the exterior of our detached property and we are delighted with the results. He is a very polite, hardworking and professional decorator who was assisted by Charlie who also had the same qualities. Dan went out of his way to find the exact colour masonry paint that we required and was meticulous, tidy and thorough in both preparation and finishing works. If you are looking for a top quality decorator then Dan is your man!
I found Daniel through a friends recommendation. He repaired and painted the outside of my property and garage building to a very high standard, he gave me options and choices of various paints and their differences and im very confident in his work. I have asked him to come back in the future for more work, very clean and tidy, very polite, top quality work, on time each day, works hard, very knowledgable what more could I ask? Thanks Daniel

Dan had already redecorated two bedrooms and a bathroom for me. His work was excellent and I was very pleased to have found such a good decorator. I've now asked him to redecorate the rest of the house in stages over a period. He's just completed a third bedroom plus small study, all to a high standard. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him (and have in fact passed on his contact details to friends). Thanks, Dan!

Daniel came out and painted the upstairs of the house back in august as I’d just moved in he did a brilliant job then Soon as I was ready for downstairs to be done he came back out and finished off , he worked hard was friendly and I’d highly recommend him and will use him in the future.

Daniel carried work at my two bed flat which was in a sorry state after the last tenant. I had not moved in but he came over three days and did a wonderful job. I am so grateful for a nice man very professional and left my flat looking great! I would recommend him all day long. So pleased with his work. Janet. Swanage.

Excellent again. After having Dan work on our property we knew we could trust him to undertake work at my mother in laws in queens park. Job completed and very pleased would like to fully recommend

I was recommended Daniel by a close friend as I was looking for a quality decorator to decorate the exterior of my property in Talbot. He gave me prices for different paints and informed me of the difference which I found quite helpful as id imagined getting just one price. I opted for the Emperor masonry paint which was the longest lasting. It looks absolutely wonderful.
