I am a painter and decorator with over 20 years of experience I do internal and external work and specialise in wallpaper hanging. I am very flexible with times and like to accommodate all customers.
Avoid This Tradesman at All Costs! I strongly discourage anyone from hiring this individual, Ray, as my experience has been nothing short of disastrous. He took my money, delivered subpar work, and damaged my items in the process. Ray constantly harassed me for payments, made promises to be on-site himself, and then brought strangers to carry out the job. When I inspected the work, it was riddled with imperfections, and asking Ray to fix these issues was met with hostility and further demands for more money. He overcharged me for materials purchased on my behalf and only provided receipts after I insisted—and by then, it was too late, as I had already paid him. He outright stole over £100 and has yet to refund me. I hired him based on claims of professional work, including sanding and painting woodwork to a high standard. Instead, our walls were poorly prepped, the paint is peeling, and they even painted over new items, demonstrating shockingly low standards. Additionally, do not be misled by the name “R F Decorators”—this is not a registered company on Companies House, despite how it may appear. Do not be fooled by his reviews or promises. If you do decide to take the risk, ensure every detail is agreed upon, receipts are provided before payment, and all work is inspected thoroughly. However, based on my experience, I would urge you to stay far away from this company and spare yourself the frustration and financial loss as I’m having to pay extra for someone else to rectify the work.
efficient, competent, pleasant, tidy and reasonable. no hesitation to recommend. would use them again
Very disappointing but following complaining Ray (not the proprietor) came and put the work right
Very efficient, reliable and good price. Ray and his team completed the job in time and left the place very clean
Great wallpapering job on a small bedroom. Left everything clean and tidy, good communication and will definitely use again for future jobs
Excellent prompt service all round. Raymond (the business owner) was very easy to deal with and Ray (the decorator who painted the door) was diligent and efficient. Thanks guys!
Came on time. Quote reasonable
Great good from a knowledgeable tradesman. Thanks Ray and assistant!
Very helpful and honest.
Ray is a good and hardworking man. Always on time. He did an excellent painting work in my 2 bedroom flat and I loved it. I will recommend him for any painting job. He's got all the experience. Weldone Ray. Many thanks, Eunice.
