    A thoroughly professional, immaculate yet friendly service.

    Posted 03 October 2025

    Marcus was so totally professional and managed to decorate 2+ rooms for us inside of 6 working days. He was punctual, methodical, well planned and structured to be able to work on one area when another was drying. Marcus knew exactly what was required and he had all of the equipment and materials he needed. Marcus left the areas around where he was working spotless each evening. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again and he will be my first port of call when we next require any decorating to be done. Marcus was such an easy going, trustworthy and pleasant chap. Highly recommend him.

    Professional and trustworthy painter decorators

    Posted 21 September 2025

    We are very happy with the work Dorking Decorators did repainting our external woodwork this Spring, especially since the job included some awkward and difficult to access parts of the property. The initial estimate, scheduling, and job itself were carried out with courtesy, professionalism, and good communication throughout and we would not hesitate to use them again.

    Five star decorating skills!

    Posted 20 August 2025

    Marcus was helpful and prompt with his advice and quote. Ollie painted our kitchen before and this time he did our hallway, he was friendly, polite, fast worker and always cleaned and tidied up at the end of day. The painting he did was second to none and I would highly recommend Dorking Decorators.
