Handyman- 22 Jul 2025
Seemed professional and honest but wasn't in the end- the work he specifically agreed to do for the price was not completed as he said he didn't have enough time. He discounted £30 off the original price and now he is asking for another £120 to come back and finish what was agreed by him, plus he can't come back til one month from now. Bathroom has been left more exposed to moisture than before the job, and the job itself was to fix issues caused by moisture! Work and price was agreed by him upfront and in writing based on clear photos of what needed doing - he chose not to come and take a look first, and later said he underestimated the size of the job and had overbooked himself. If you've underestimated, then say this before you start the work, agree on a new price and make sure you have enough time to complete the job when you said you would! I asked for a partial refund - he said he spent more time and materials and feels insulted - take responsibility and own your mistakes man!

Kitchen Fitting- 8 Dec 2025
Shaheer visited to quote for carpentry and decoration. I proceeded with the decorating work. On day 1 Shaheer painted half the walls of one room the wrong colour, and then requested double the agreed price, despite having inspected the flat and confirmed his quote, not an hourly rate prior. By day 2 he was struggling, so I brought in additional painters. He subsequently asked them the price we'd agreed, then incorrectly complained they were paid more.. Progress was slow, issues were raised without solutions & his overall attitude was despondent. He claimed the job was finished, but left his rollers and paint splattered all over the kitchen floor&work surfaces, refusing to return unless paid more. I ultimately paid above the original quote but not as his request due to: 1. Wasn't agreed prior 2. Increased cleaner hours post, due to how he left it Shaheer initially is a pleasant enough individual and tries to an extent, but ultimately, it's apparent he's not a professional tradesman.

I’m extremely pleased with the work carried out today. He arrived on time, fully prepared with all the right tools, and his experience was evident from the start . It really put my mind at ease. The double doors are perfectly hung with even spacing and excellent attention to detail. He clearly takes pride in the quality of his work. He was also very respectful of my home and made sure everything was clean and tidy before leaving. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. A true professional!

Source FM recently helped us fit out a new 8000 sq ft warehouse in Hackney. The project included installing new electricals, installing new fire and security alarms, repairing and repainting a heavily used concrete floor, redecorating, servicing the heating etc. The project had a very tight time frame and Source FM often had to work around members of our team as we started moving in while work was still ongoing. I'm pleased to say, all the work was completed in time and to a very high standard. We've since used Paul and Bill for a number of smaller projects, both at the warehouse and in our offices.

Questions to ask a Harlow painter and decorator

Choosing a Harlow 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 Harlow?

From period terraces and cottage interiors to modern flats, each property in Harlow 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 Harlow?

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 Harlow?

Decorating listed buildings in Harlow 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 Harlow painting and decorating services

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

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 Harlow homes?

In Harlow, 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 Harlow?

Surface preparation in Harlow 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 Harlow 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.
