Hygenie here at your service. I’ve always been good with my hands and have a passion in priding my work. I’ve been in the construction and trade industry for combined 10 years. I enjoy doing my own projects at home and for family and friends. I’m new to my builder and can see it’s quite competitive. I don’t mind a challenge but will no attempt a job I’m not confident in completing to your satisfaction.

Ruben did a great job with a few small jobs that needed doing in our house. We had two doors that wouldn't close properly and he helped re-hang them, sanding down and repainting uneven parts. Our bathroom door now closes properly and we can have some privacy! He did a very professional job, was very respectful of our property and cleaned up well afterward. Highly recommended!

Mariuzs and Erik did a great job painting my entire flat. The quote was competitive and they were able to do the job in the required time frames. They worked hard and were professional. The flat was left in a tidy state after they finished the job. Very happy with the final results and would recommend using Mariusz for painting and decorating.

Painting & Decorating- 3 Jan 2018
Hubert in the beginning was good (only till initial payment is made). after that He didnt update on progress or doesnt lift calls. Painting job-instead of sanding it and then applying coats. for few doors sanding was not done and the paint was applied directly which came off after its dried. Painting in the boiler room was not done as agreed. For 2 walls, only 1 blue coating was done. Can see some spots on the blue walls which would not have been there if coated twice. Flooring job is the nightmare, The floor was sanded but did not apply the wooden coat next day as promised and he did not come back or receive calls. I could not move in due to this and had to extend my stay in my old flat for which I had to pay ££ for a week He took my 10 extra ceiling downlights which are worth £100. How can he take them without asking me? they left my big sofa in balcony, dint bring it in, which was later drenched in rain and became unhygienic. i received a notice from council. If the work doesn’t finish on time in order to cover his inefficient skills he makes excuses. he is neither a professional nor skilled worker. his focus is on money rather than finishing job as per customer needs. Overall the work is of poor standard and low quality. I would not recommend him. made a mistake to hire him. because of their incompetency I lost £££ and had to go through a lot of metal stress, loss of time and money. In the end I had to advertise again to finish their half baked jobs.

Painting & Decorating- 25 Mar 2019
Mark who is part of Gary's team worked on this job. He has vast experience in his field and did quite a remarkable job given the some of the walls were quite old and and not smooth. He had to replaster some of the walls since they had paper lining and the replastering was done to perfection. Could not find any mistakes after they were painted. Gary and Mark both were quite professional and patient with our everlasting changes and demands in the plan and never complained about anything ever. Mark went out of his way in sorting out a paint issue with B&Q. Highly recommended for any kind of painting/plastering work.

It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with James and Adam from start to finish. They encountered numerous difficulties whilst decorating my living room and stairs but always found a solution which they implemented with precision including replastering. The standard of their workmanship has been exceptional as has been their sheer hard work. I am absolutely delighted with the finished result and I would be very happy to use them again. On top of all that they are genuinely nice guys and a pleasure to have around.

Questions to ask a Forest Hill painter and decorator

Choosing a Forest Hill painter and decorator isn’t just about finding someone who can apply a coat of paint. It’s about working with someone who genuinely cares about how your home looks and feels. Here are some questions to help you make the right choice:

What types of projects have you completed in Forest Hill?

From period terraces and cottage interiors to modern flats, each property in Forest Hill has its own character. Ask your painter or decorator about their experience with homes similar to yours, and what finishes or materials they recommend for your walls or woodwork.

Can you share photos or examples of your recent work?

Before-and-after images give you a sense of their style, attention to detail, and how they approach surfaces or colours. Many painters and decorators feature their work on MyBuilder, so it’s easy to browse through and see what inspires you.

Do you have references from past clients in Forest Hill?

Hearing how others describe their workmanship, communication, and reliability can make your decision easier. You can also check reviews on MyBuilder to see how previous customers felt about their results.

How do you prepare surfaces and deal with cracks or damp patches?

Proper prep makes all the difference. A good decorator will explain how they handle imperfections before painting to ensure your new finish lasts.

Are you familiar with local rules for decorating listed or conservation buildings in Forest Hill?

Decorating listed buildings in Forest Hill sometimes needs formal consent to protect architectural significance. Knowing how to navigate these regulations and whether specific materials or colours are required can make a big difference in avoiding fines or costly rework.

FAQ: Common questions about Forest Hill painting and decorating services

How long does a typical painting and decorating project take in Forest Hill?

Project length varies with the size and nature of the work. A single room might take a few days, while larger jobs like whole-house decorating or detailed woodwork can take several weeks. Factors like surface preparation, drying times, and weather conditions for exterior work also affect the schedule.

What kind of paint or finishes are suitable for Forest Hill homes?

In Forest Hill, common choices include matte and eggshell finishes for interiors due to their elegant look and ease of touch-ups. For exterior surfaces, weather-resistant paints that cope with the local climate, such as moisture and temperature changes, are essential for lasting protection.

How do decorators prepare surfaces in older or period homes in Forest Hill?

Surface preparation in Forest Hill may involve cleaning, filling cracks, sanding, and sometimes treating issues like dampness. Proper prep is key to paint adhesion and finish durability, especially in homes with plaster, lath walls, or older wood.

Will painters and decorators in Forest Hill help with colour selection or test samples?

Many decorators offer guidance on colour choices based on lighting and room use and can provide sample swatches or test patches to help you visualise the final look before commitment.
