My family and I have used Craig the Painter numerous times over the past eight years, and he has never disappointed. Craig is incredibly courteous, professional, and consistently does a fantastic job. He has decorated the last couple of houses we’ve lived in, and the quality of his work is always excellent. I can’t recommend him highly enough.Verified reviewerJob location: RG18 - GGareth W
10 Helped us out at short notice

Job location: RG20When our building project hit delays, we were told the painting and decorating wouldn't start for over a month later than originally planned. So, we looked for someone who could start earlier so we could start using some of the rooms that had been completed and reduce the chaos we were living in. Craig stepped in at short notice and started work straight after Christmas and all over the New Year, We're back on track and haven't had to cancel any carpet or furniture deliveries as a result. The work isn't yet complete, but we're pleased with what has been done so far. 10 Painting & Decorating

Craig did a lot of work on my house at the start of 2025. I reached out to Craig in November 2025 as wanted him to carry out further painting and decorating on the property. Once again Craig has done an excellent job. He's prompt, hardworking, tidies up and completes work to a very high standard.Verified reviewerJob location: KT2210 Painting
