    Excellent decorator all round.

    Posted 6 days ago

    Kevin's experience shines through. He is very thorough and accurate with his work and also keeps his head down and simply just gets on with the job. He also shows consideration if you are in the house having to get in his way at times. Sorry Kev! His communication re timings etc is spot on. His pricing is more than fair not least considering the excellent job he does. As a bonus Kevin is very easy to get on with. So we have absolutely no hesitaion in recommending Kevin Lane.

    Work completed to a high standard.

    Posted 29 July 2025

    Kevin was recommended to us by friends. Kevin did a great job in decorating our lounge/dining room. Throughout he was friendly, tidy and regularly checked in to see if we were happy with the progress. The work completed was to a high standard, and we are really pleased with it. We will definitely be using Kevin again, and have already recommended him to several family members.

    Posted 19 June 2025

    Accommodated our request to quickly re-decorate a 2 bed Buy To Let flat. Did a good job. First viewers took the flat. Thought it ‘ fresh and clean’. Kevin was helpful and accommodating.
