TESTIMONIALS

Steve completed a whole house re-paint to freshen everything up following a recent purchase. His work was excellent and he was very helpful and friendly to deal with. I would have no hesitation in recommending him and I will be using him again for future work. Thanks Steve.

Exterior of house painted (windows and masonry). Steve is a properly trained and experienced painter and decorator. The preparation was thorough (including repairing a section of rotten window frame) and the standard of work excellent. Reliable, very punctual and good value. Will have him back to do some interior work too.

Paul Bennett

Steve has done a fantastic job of decorating our new loft conversion room, a bedroom and a bathroom. His attention to detail is second to none and he uses all the best quality paints etc. Steve arrives when he says and works really hard all day, barely stopping for a cuppa. He’s polite and you hardly know he’s there. I would highly recommend him.

Kojaks Revenge

Steve has decorated the majority of our house over the last few years, most recently our hall, stairs and landings. We have never used anyone else since the first time he was recommended to us by a friend. His preparation and attention to detail is second to none, he has a thorough knowledge of materials and various decorating processes. He is punctual, polite and keeps the work area very tidy. We absolutely have no hesitation in recommending Steve as a first class decorator.

Tom Hood

Steve is my go to decorator, reasonably priced, knowledgeable about all aspects of house painting & decorating as well as the myriad of products on the market today. The latest project that he completed for me was a large kitchen/Diner which was finished in budget & within the time frame we had agreed. Always punctual & polite, he works methodically from start to finish & tidies away at the end of each day’s work, excellent attention to detail & a pleasure to have around, I certainly recommend him.

I have had all the interior and exterior paintwork in my house done by Steve for over 10 years. He is meticulous in his work and the job is finished to a high standard. I am also happy to go on holiday while work is done and leave him with a key.

Having received a card advertising decorating through the door earlier this year, with a certain amount of trepidation I invited Steve Lord to come along and give me a quote for some rather tricky interior snagging and decorating. On meeting Steve it was evident he would be efficient and provide a professional job and the price quoted for the job was very reasonable. In late April Steve came true to his word and completed a splendid job in the said time, which I was totally delighted with. So much so, I asked Steve to return to undertake work on the exterior of my home, which was undertaken in mid August. Once again, the work was completed efficiently, professionally and looks great. As a result of the excellent service Steve has provided I have already recommended him to two of my neighbours who require both interior and exterior work.

Personal rating: Highly recommended!

Kay Whelan, Old Portsmouth
Steve did a great job of painting my hall, stairs and landing, it looks marvellous and the finish is of a very high standard. I have no hesitation in recommending SL Painting and Decorating to prospective customers.
Jennifer, Steep
Steve was recommended by a neighbour to paint the exterior of the timber window frames on our house in Itchenor. The estimate arrived promptly. I met with Steve on site before engaging him and he came across as a likeable and trustworthy person. To avoid disruption, the work was carried out whilst we were on holiday. I was happy to leave keys with Steve so that he had access to the house to open and close the windows. He started and finished when he said he would and I am very happy with the finished product.
James Barnes, Itchenor
Steve did a fantastic job of painting our living room and dining room. He was punctual, polite, tidy and thorough in his work. We have already booked him to paint our kitchen later in the year.
P. Mason, Emsworth
We have had Steve redecorate our Hallway and Stairs, Dining room and Lounge. The job he did was first class, he was very hard working and methodical in the approach to his work, always on time and left the work area clean and tidy every evening.
Mrs. Robson, Southsea
I first met Steve when he was carrying out a complete exterior decoration of my parent’s cottage on seeing the good job he was doing I had no hesitation in asking him to quote for some work on my grade 2 listed property.

Since then I have used Steve on a number of occasions to carry out various decorating jobs on my property. Each time the workmanship has been of the highest standard and carried out in a professional manner with minimal disruption.

Grant R, Southsea

Finding a good painter and decorator is not easy. Steve Lord was recommended to me by a friend and he has recently painted both the interior and exterior (wooden window frames and doors) of my house. His work is excellent, immaculate, paying a great deal of attention to detail and very careful in preparation prior to painting. He has a very pleasant manner he is polite, friendly and very easy to get along with. I have since recommended him to a few of my neighbours and they were all very pleased with his work. I have no hesitation what so ever in recommending him.

Mrs. Evans, Chichester
Steve has now done a couple of jobs at our house. I have found the quality of his work is excellent and it comes at a reasonable cost. But most importantly he has proven to be completely reliable and trustworthy. I highly recommend him.
S. Walker, Southsea
Steve did an excellent job painting almost all the interior of our house. He worked around our holidays, putting in long days to get the job done – we had no hesitation letting him have the key while we were away.
Mr. & Mrs. Thomson, Southsea
I have asked Steve to work on both my home and a buy to let property that I own. Steve is professional in his trade. He has never let us down and arrives promptly every morning. He is calm, reliable, methodical and efficient. The quality of his work is very professional and he uses quality paint and materials.

I would highly recommend Steve as a professional painter.
