I have employed James to do lots of painting jobs over a few years. I like working with him because he is a good decorator, helpful, reasonable rates and flexible plus he is nice to have around and we feel very comfortable having him in the house whether we are in or out.Verified reviewerJob location: BN1Response from K & J Painters & Decorators
Thanks Helen!
10 Great job
Posted 14 August 2025
I recently had some decorating work done in an area with on going damp issues. James dealt with the issue in a very professional manner and I was delighted with the results. So clean, tidy and professional. Nothing was too much trouble and a very competitive quote by far after inviting many decorators to quote. I have already booked another job with him. Thank you so much.Verified reviewerJob location: BN110 Complete redecoration of 3 bedroom flat

James was very friendly and carried out the work on the dates agreed. He did an effective job in bringing brightness and sparkle back into a rather tired flat. Walls and ceilings, doors and woodwork. Thoroughly recommended!Verified reviewerJob location: BN210 Bathroom Refresh
Posted 19 December 2024
From first contact to finish of the job, James was professional and reliable. He’s done a great job of repainting the bathroom, but also helped with choosing colour and type of paint which was really appreciated. He is friendly, helpful and very neat and tidy. Will definitely be in touch again when the need arises.Verified reviewerJob location: BN1

I have been painting for over 15 years, starting my first business in Western Australia after passing the exams for the Painters Registration Board.
I recently returned to the UK, relocating to Brighton at the beginning of 2014, it was too hot over there!
I have always painted for the satisfaction of doing a good job, exceeding the client's expectations and enjoying the process.
I respect people's homes, cleaning up after myself!
I have references spanning the last 8 years, all available on request, and recent references from the Brighton/Hove area.
I have quickly established myself as a reliable and experienced painter receiving excellent references from all of my clients.
I generally do residential painting, mostly interiors, but I do some exterior work when the conditions are suitable.
Please call me for a sensible and free quote!
Thanks, James Manton
