RedWheel63-1
"We were really nervous of picking out a company to come and paint our traditional wooden sash and cottage windows after we had a bad experience with another company last year. However we felt confident when we met Steve as it was obvious they are a very professional company. We were given a reasonable quote, a firm date for the work to be done and they liaised with the local paint suppliers to get us the right paint too!
This is the second week that they have been on site and we have no complaints. They are very tidy, polite and it is clear that they know what they are doing. Honestly its such a relief to (a) finally get our windows painted and looking good and (b) have such a professional company on site. We would definitely recommend them with confidence. 🙂 ."

"I was very pleased to have decided to use Steve for my small interior project; from quote to completion he was polite, (friendly), professional and full of advice. I felt that the work completed was taken care over, and Steve was quick to ask if I was happy once he completed each stage. Definitely recommended."
NikkiC-37 Small interior project
"I have known Steve Grayson for over 20 years and previously used him for modest interior and exterior decorating jobs. Invariably finished to a very high standard he was the obvious person to turn to to handle the refurbishment and redecoration of my new home. Steve has project-managed a complex set of work including coordinating electricians, plasterers, tilers and plumbers as well as the decorating, handling a number of issues along the way, including rebuilding internal walls when it transpired that the previous owner's tiles and other unusual fittings were perhaps a little too well 'fixed'. Every cheerful and thoroughly reliable, he turns up when he says he will and has managed my expectations at every stage. The finished product is as professional as you would expect."
Complex job masterfully completed

"Steve and team have just finished decorating our hallway. They've done a great job, really good attention to detail, and completed in the expected timescales. Steve is a friendly and professional individual - he rang us every day (as we were not there whilst he was working) to check we were happy with progress and to agree resolution of any 'snagging' items. We're definitely going to ask Steve to do more work for us."

"Steve has worked for us on several occasions. He has always done an excellent job, and always been prepared to go that extra mile - like cleaning out the gutters when he was up the ladder painting the soffits! Not only is his work of a high standard, but he is always helpful and personable, and has introduced me to other tradesmen when I have needed them. I am very happy to recommend him."

He is very professional, conscientious and thorough and always shows you exactly what he has done and asks for feedback. Every day he has let us know the exact status of the work. In addition, he has a group of carpenters, roofers, scaffolders etc that he can call on when necessary and has successfully managed our complete project."

"Steve first did some decorating for me around 15 years ago , a friend recommended him as I kept on being let down by other decorators. A very good trustworthy tradesman and does what he says when he's say I can't recommend him more highly.

Michael Eringer
"Steve and the team have redecorated the interior and exterior of our home at various points over the last 24 months. Steve and Gary are professional and take pride in the work they do which is always meticulous. Steve and the team tidy as they go and do in fact 'go the extra mile' - hovering up and washing windows after painting has been completed are but 2 of several examples that spring to mind. Those reading this reference will be pleased to hear that Steve consults on the work throughout and when he says that he and the team will turn up on the day agreed they do. My wife and I have got to know Steve and Gary well over the last 2 years and both are trustworthy and we have no qualms about letting them have unsupervised access to the house. I am very happy to recommend them."

Mr and Mrs Thornton
"Maurice and I want to thank you and your team for the job you have recently done redecorating our house. We were impressed throughout the last month at your obvious professional pride in the work undertaken, with great attention to detail and therefore excellent results with which we are delighted. In particular we would like to thank you and Gary for being so cheerful, reliable and trustworthy, always letting us know what was happening next, responding quickly to any communication, never failing to turn up exactly when promised and leaving the house swept and cleaned at the end of each day. Your willingness to work around our daily changing needs due to caring for our small granddaughter twice a week, and your compassion and flexibility around an unexpected bereavement and funeral, with our large family therefore suddenly arriving to stay during the time you were with us, were so helpful and very much appreciated. We were impressed with how efficiently you managed the project, dovetailing in plasterers, electrician, plumber and carpenters as and when needed. You were always willing to go the extra mile to give us the results we were looking for. When, occasionally and inevitably, something (however minor) was not to our satisfaction you immediately and with good grace put it right for us. We have already recommended you to friends and would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone looking for decorating services."
We were impressed throughout
Maggie and Maurice Newman

Patricia Watson-Miller
" We are very pleased with the exterior painting that was carried out recently by Steve and his assistant Gary. Our property has off white exterior wood cladding, Steve arranged a company to erect scaffolding to enable him to reach the high gable end of the property. The painting team undertook the work in a meticulous manner and care was taken in the preparation and undercoats were applied before the final coat of paint was was applied. Steve gave advice on the best makes of paint on the market. Steve and Gary arrived punctually each morning and worked continuously, [apart from a couple of days due to heavy rain] till the completion of the work. We recommend Steve for his professional approach. Steve was recommended to us by other neighbours who have had interior and exterior decoration work by him."
Pleased with the exterior painting

"I first met Steve Grayson when I was refurbishing a cottage in Wareside. Steve lived opposite and since I was in need of a decorator I walked over and arranged for Steve to give me an estimate. I was first struck by his efficency and knowledge of all aspects of the trade: both internal and external work. All estimates were thorough, dates were agreed and the work was started on that date and finished on time. I highly recommend Steve Grayson and have used him on six projects since the iorst and he still has more work for me this Summer."

"The standard of the finished decoration is of the highest order and I cannot speak too highly of Steve's professional and committed approach to achieving a quality job. This was despite having to work around unpredictable weather and the need to deal with a number of unforeseen problems which arose over the course of the work. The planned yet flexible way in which Steve worked was also noteworthy, as was the fact he kept me informed of progress throughout. I would not hesitate to employ Steve Grayson again and can without question recommend the services of his company to any prospective customer."

Catherine Abrahams
"Steve Grayson Has been decorating parts of our house over the past three years. He has done both inside and outside work and I have been very pleased with the results. Steve has proved to be conscientious and careful and most reliable. This is especially important for us because nirther my husband nor myself are around during the day and Steve can be relied upon to produce a quality job within the timescales that he has promised. Steve has also engaged plasterers and plumbers for odd jobs to ensure that decorating work couldbe done on time and this has worked very smoothly, with a minimum of hassle for us. He has advised on colour schemes and his input here has been useful to ensure that the end result was what we wanted. In addition he has left the place clean and tidy and if ever there was outstanding issues Steve always ensures he follows through on these. I have no hesitation in recommending Steve to anyone who needs a decorator for their home."
