    Do not go near them

    Posted 03 December 2025

    I wouldn't recommend them, the work was fine and I have to admit I did agree the price. However I knew I was being ripped off. They totally took advantage of the fact that I did need the work done and I was let down. To put in context, they out source the work for £300 and they charged me £750 - Disgusting. I am all for making money - but ripping a customer off who was stuck and quite frankly the painter. It is outrageous. Anyway I paid on time, but I wouldn't touch them again with a barge pole. They dont even do the work and take advantage of decent decorators

    We’re pleased the work was completed to a standard you were happy with. The quotation was provided and accepted in advance, before any work began, and no concerns were raised at any stage of the job. Our pricing reflects the full delivery of the service, including scheduling, management, transport, insurance, administration, required materials, and overall responsibility for the work, not just wages. Pricing can vary between companies, and customers are always free to accept or decline a quotation. The work was delivered exactly as agreed.

    Lovely Decorators!

    Posted 28 November 2025

    Little and Large did a fantastic job on our kitchen diner. They painted the walls and ceiling, coving up all our botched DIY efforts! They were really nice to deal with and, when we discussed how important it was that we got the job done quickly, arranged to come on a Saturday to help us. You don’t pay until all works are finished and they give you all information on appointments, quotes etc in writing. Traffic was really bad on the morning of our appointment and Claire phoned us three times to let us know their eta. We have already booked in for another job.

    Bedrooms to be re painted

    Posted 25 November 2025

    Gary & Claire were amazing. I told them about my current situation with waiting on new carpets/beds and they were able to book me in prior to these. Both are very approachable and informative of what needed doing and what they will do. Couldn't have asked for better people

    Exceptional painters, friendly, professional and affordable - Highly recommended!

    Posted 13 November 2025

    What can I say about Little & Large Decorators - Absolutely exceptional! From submitting my enquiry on Checkatrade, Claire called within 5 minutes to discuss my job and came to my home to assess the work and provide a quote within 24 hours, and the work commenced within 2 weeks. I had my whole apartment painted by them to an exceptionally high standard, and Claire & Gary were very hard working completing the job in just 2 days. Claire went above & beyond by providing so much support in choosing colours & even mounted a new TV for me! Can't recommend enough. So friendly & professional too!

    Really happy with the work carried out for a full house painting. Great advice from the start and great communication throughout. Left the house spotless afterwards. Would highly recommend and I wouldn’t hesitate to use this company again.
