Gareth Thompson Painter & Decorator

Gareth popped back to install the new Yale lock which had been delayed in the post, so I managed to snap him in my photos. He prepared & painted my old Edwardian doors, front & back and my new bay windows and door. I can’t really add much more to the previous reviewers, I totally agree with all of their comments. Gareth helped me to find just the right grey for my doors and also told me that I could have matt external paint which I hadn’t heard of. He is a very good listener and stopped at nothing to get the finish I was looking for including sourcing and fitting the door furniture.

If you’re looking for decorating services then look no further. Gareth is fantastic at his job and a genuinely great bloke to deal with. The wallpaper finish he achieved in our living room recently was top draw and he also made time to offer advice for other projects we have completed ourselves. All in all a fantastic all round experience and we will be inviting Gareth back for more work without a doubt!

If I could give more stars, I would! Gareth has done the most incredible job in my dining room and downstairs loo – which were only done about 2 years ago and were sadly very shoddily done. Now when I walk into these rooms, I’m filled with joy at the decor, rather than my eye being drawn to many, many flaws.Before starting the job, Gareth was really patient and helpful. He gave really good advice on colours for the rooms, what effect I wanted – spacious vs cosy – and we talked through colours to match the paper I’d chosen. I went with Scuff-X as the type of paint as I have a gigantic dog – much bashing around and “bringing the outside in” - I need hard wearing paint I can wipe/scrub – so the paint in the photos may be slightly less matt than you may choose, but I think it looks incredible (and it’ll be fit for purpose!).From start to finish Gareth was punctual, clean, tidy and unobtrusive (like many, I’m working from home). I could see the attention to detail and pride he was taking in his work and felt confident leaving him to crack on with it while I got on with my day. Deborah, who recommended Gareth, had assured me that he would meet my perfectionist standards – and he did, and then some!I cannot WAIT for his next visit – re-papering the lounge (same story – 2 years ago) and whole re-do of the master bedroom – something to look forward to in these gloomy times!

Gareth recently decorated the external front elevation of our house and we are very impressed with the quality of his workmanship. He provided us with a detailed quotation and kept us informed with dates for carrying out the work. We would be very happy to use him for any future decorating works.

Gareth did an amazing job on our kitchen. He was so thorough and meticulous. He painted the walls and ceiling and took away our doors and drawers for painting. He even fitted a new floor for us.We’ve got a brand new kitchen and we couldn’t be happier.

We would highly recommend Gareth in every respect of his service. Honest, prompt, polite, clean, tidy, friendly and of course an excellent finish achieved. We're very happy to have chosen well in using Gareth to finish this project and wouldn't hesitate to do so again.

Although of sound quality, after a decade we thought our kitchen had become somewhat drab and dated... but dreaded the disruption of a complete refit. After seeing Gareth's complete kitchen tranformation at our neice's, we invited him to work his magic on ours. We took advantage of his extensive experience on colour selection and following intensive preparation he meticulously works on every item to astonishingly restore perfection, including hinges and realignment, with little disruption and virtually no mess. He is a very impressive professional and unobtrusive worker. We are delighted with our transformation and very confident in recommending his services to anyone. Also, he's back soon to tackle other work.

Couldn’t be happier with the transformation of my dining kitchen. Gareth is a very skilful painter & decorator. His meticulous prep work coupled with his attention to detail is second to none. He has given my 23 year old cabinets a new lease of life & the freshly painted walls look lovely. He gives great advice about colour choices, and even got me samples as I struggled to make a choice. Over the moon with my ‘new’ kitchen. We chose to have the work done whilst we were away on holiday so it was a great surprise to come home to. Cannot recommend him highly enough. You won’t be disappointed with the results.

Great service by Gareth. Professional, friendly and responsive. My external render looks so much better after a fresh coat of white! Very clean and tidy, no mess left at all. Can highly recommend Gareth's services.

Gareth's quality of work is excellent! We are repeat customers & we never hesitate to recommend him to others. He always manages to exceed our expectations & his attention to detail plus the level of finish is consistently high. Gareth genuinely cares about the end product & meeting his clients expectations. He is a genuinely lovely chap, personable, polite & always arrives as scheduled. He works hard & always leaves the area clean & tidy. We can not fault either his standard of work or his work ethic. Massive thanks Gareth & we'll be calling you again in the future!!
