    Will book again.

    Chris came round to quote for the work and immediately put us at ease, answering questions we hadn’t even thought to ask and offering helpful suggestions that really improved our original ideas. When the big day arrived, Chris and Jim turned up on time and got straight to it. They painted our living room — walls, ceiling, and skirting boards — and even rescued our disastrous first attempt at fitting the skirting boards. They were here for two days, worked exactly to our specifications, kept everything tidy, and were friendly, professional and incredibly knowledgeable throughout.

    Excellent painting service

    Posted 12 January

    Grey Renovations organised a quote and date to complete the work quickly and I was really pleased with the price. Chris completed all the painting and he has done a fantastic job! Cleaned up beautifully (I would never have known he’d been in the house!). I had walls painted in the kitchen and dining room and it feels like a new home. Thank you so much. Will highly recommend 🤩

    Fire safe paint - steel in kitchen

    Posted 01 December 2025

    We’ve had Chris paint all of our house. This time he and Jim were in to paint an exposed steel in our kitchen with fire safe paint. As ever they carried out the works efficiently and left the house tidy. I will continue to recommend them as they are both brilliant and lovely people to.

Grey Renovations was founded in 2014, initially as a one man business with a City and Guilds in painting and decorating and years of practical experience. Since then we have started to build up a loyal customer base in the Leigh, West Cliff, Upminster ,Basildon and the Brentwood area (and sometimes further a field in Essex and Kent through recommendations ). I now have another full time member of staff who enables me to offer a wider range of services and take on larger jobs.


Most aspects of carpentry can be undertaken (wooden floors, door hanging, skirting boards, decking to name a few) and tiling for kitchens and bathrooms (wall and floors). On certain jobs or when the work needs additional people due to size or the need to get the work finished for a dead line, we have the luxury of being able to call on experienced professionals we trust.


I like to treat customers, their properties and the work carried out with the respect and care as I would be in my own home. We are now lucky to have private and commercial customers and many landlords who call on us to not only to decorate but maintain their properties.

Interior and exterior work is carried out, lining wall papering and feature walls.


All size jobs considered and undertaken. All of our jobs are undertaken using a dustless sanding system
