Rich was great throughout, offering advice and guidance on how to get the best finish for the bedrooms. Clear communication on timescales and the initial job was completed ahead of schedule. Booked in for the 2nd bedroom and will be using Rich's services for the rest as we work our way round redecorating.Verified reviewerJob location: SS6 10 Professional and courteous.

Richard has been absolutely fantastic over the last six days painting our kitchen-diner, hallway, landing, utility, and downstairs W/C. His work is exceptional — the finish is top quality, and it’s clear he really knows his craft. He recommended the perfect paint for our walls (scrub-proof and long-wearing), and we’re so pleased with the result. Throughout the job, Richard was friendly, approachable, and highly professional. The whole process was seamless and completely stress-free. Will definitely have him back in the new year for our next painting projects and be recommending to others!Verified reviewerJob location: SS7Response from RGL Painter & Decorator
