Really pleased with M.A.T.C.H. decorators. They did a great job. Cliff was always quick to reply to messages regarding tying in work with other tradesmen. Always helpful and my wife wants me to add.. 'cleaned and tidied up before leaving'.

Not doing jobs you had agreed to with my mum and not tell her until the morning you arrived.But you could get a friend to come and do it so more money for my mum to pay out also saying to me it would take 1-2days to complete the job and you were done by dinner and still expected over £600 but you brought it down only because it was cash in your hand and wrote off the VAT.Obviously you had another job in the afternoon so quick as you could be in the morning and gone.So I’m now giving up working this weekend which was extra cash for me so i can finish my mum’s bathroom and you have also lost out on more money because me and my girlfriend were going to have you come and do our downstairs painting in 4 rooms after xmas but now i will look elsewhere for a painter

After being let down and messed around by so many so called painter and decorators I managed to find Dave. Dave did a fantastic job painting my house, he is meticulous and has a keen eye for detail. Dave gave me great advice on colours for my new house and his painting team were prompt, polite and did great work. Dave did an amazing job hanging wallpaper, he constantly kept the house tidy and took away all rubbish once the job was complete. I'll definitely be using Dave going forward and I would highly recommend Dave to everyone. Many thanks Dave

Pete was very knowledgeable and I immediately had confidence in his advice. His work in the master bedroom and bathroom was absolutely excellent and I cannot give high enough praise other than to say he is coming back next month to do my kitchen and next year to do the lounge and dining room! He is a lovely, friendly person and even came back for a couple of hours on a Sunday to finish the job after being delayed by a late delivery of the ceiling paper. Thoroughly recommended. Many thanks, Pete.

Martyn and his team were brilliant. I had a full consultation where Martyn made helpful suggestions on how best to achieve what I wanted. The job (external bay windows and internal paint work) was completed in 3 sessions. I was very impressed and on the second day of work I booked Martyn in for another job. It was also incredibly good value for money. I would not hesitate to book Martyn and his team again (and I already have!).

Substructure's right if you want a 100% finish... how ever if cost is an issue then simply get all paper off, sugersoap is ok to clean paste, but i've always applied a white vinyl matt base coat straight after stripping then leave the walls for 24 hours to dry. once dry the white base coat will seal the paste back and stop paste contaminating further coats applied. filling and scraping is done on top of this base coat and being white it'll highlight all bad areas. i've always done this system and never had a problem with the paste... good luck tim

Hi tom, if i am assuming correctly that it is an old property you have,sounds like to me that the re-skimming has been done on the original plaster which is ok to a certain extent if the original stuff is pretty sound & solid but unfortunately you will always run the risk of developing cracks with a re-skim on old,original plaster. if you are filling cracks and they keep reappearing,then it looks like the backing plaster is in a really poor,unstable condition & should never have been re-skimmed onto. the ammount of times i've been to a job where customers have had a 'plasterer' to re-skim a room out & cracks have appeared everywhere because they have given them bad advice is shocking. only solution really to eleminate this problem is go back to the brick and start again with a complete re-plaster as no matter how many times you fill the cracks,they will keep on coming back and over time will get worse i'm afraid! hope this helps, carl. (p.s. if it's a new type property & it's all boarded out,then i'm flummuxed! ;)

Oil based gloss does discolour and go yellow over time as the oil content comes to the surface causing the discolouration. in future do not use oil based paints. use water based gloss, eggshell and satin instead. these water based paints are getting better as the years go by since they were first introduced to the market. i'm going to share one of my top trade secrets...when i'm applying water based gloss, eggshell etc on to existing oil based paint, i do not want to spend hours excessively rubbing down in order to provide an excellent bond between the 2 types of paint that would not otherwise adhere well to each other. so instead i use a special water based paint that 'etches' itself onto almost any surface, so it keys itself onto the gloss!...then you paint your new water based paint system on top of the special water based etching paint. if you are doing spindles for example, you wouldn't believe how much time this saves. this is the paint: zinsser 123 plus (yep, silly name!) http://www.zinsseruk.com/product/bulls-eye-1-2-3-plus/ you can generally only buy it from decorating trade shops such as leyland and brewers, or order it online. it's not the cheapest paint on the market, but i know from experience...you get what you pay for! all the paints and products i use are the most expensive on the market but my workmanship lasts and i save huge amounts of labour time when on a job by using the tools, paints and products. follow my trade top tips and you'll too achieve results you wouldn't otherwise be able to!!! happy painting
