    Wallpapering two walls

    Posted 17 November

    I can’t recommend Darren highly enough. He came out to quote for the job on a Sunday & communicated well between the quote & completing the work. He arrived promptly, was friendly & polite, did a very professional job & took away the rubbish. He will be the first person I call with any decorating jobs in the future.

    Darren is an experienced and professional decorator. We were very pleased with the painting of our window frames, sills and fascias. Darren worked to a high quality standard in a timely manner and also went the extra mile by advising us and then completing areas that we otherwise would have missed. Would definitely recommend. Great quality and brilliant workmanship.

    He was punctual and reliable. Attention to detail was excellent. He worked really hard to complete the work in a short timeframe. He was very tidy and cleared up any mess. Overall I am very pleased with the work done.

Hello, my name is Darren Richards and I run

Richards decorating & flooring.

I have been working in the construction, renovation and restoration industry for over 13 years.

Along with the usual residential decorating projects I have also been working on barn conversions and restorations of many listed buildings

across West Sussex, Essex & Suffolk.

I love nothing more than making someones dream space a reality or breathing new life into a beautiful old building.


I would be delighted if you would consider using me for your next project.

I predominantly work in the Colchester area but I will consider work up to an hour away.

In recent years I've decided to focus on a couple of skills that I get the most satisfaction out of providing.

I can often help with much more but right now my key services include:


Interior and Exterior decorating

From a single room to a total refurb inside and out

Wallpapering

Window restoration


All types of plank flooring installation

Laminate

LVT

Engineered

Solid wood


General handyman services

Too numerous to list, it's best to just ask me if I can help


By the way, you wont hear us say, "We wont be beaten on price" or "Call now for the cheapest rates"

You will however get an excellent job done at a fair price so if that sounds good to you then we very much look forward to hearing from you soon
