Restoration & Refurbishment- 4 Apr 2024
I was amazed by the work Azem and his team did for us. The front of our house was in terrible condition. Pillars and window sills were cracked and disintegrating. We had major water damage and stonework I assumed would be unrepairable. Aside from the overwhelming level of quality of the work Azem and his team also work like a Formula 1 pit crew. Every morning they were early and work was carried out quickly and cleanly. I have genuinely never had such a good experience doing renovations. Cannot recommend enough.

Painting & Decorating- 20 Sep 2018
This was a challenging relationship. I have left it some time before leaving feedback as I wanted to reflect and ensure that it was balanced. There were a number of exchanges before the job was done and this revolved mainly on the degree of prep that would be done. I wanted to make sure that everything would be properly prepped and sanded. There were staffing issues on the day and the job was rescheduled. There were staffing issues on the second arranged day but they did attend although delayed. The job was done, ran over and wrong paint colour used.Finish not good - not properly prepped. Was told I would have to pay extra for this... Had to be redone with more prep and in correct colour. I did not pay extra. Did not finish painting room and I declined to have them back to finish. Refused to offer a warranty on the work unless I paid for one. The finish on the kitchen units was fine. I finished painting the kitchen myself as didn't want further disruption. Job may not have run over had staff not disappeared off for food and cigarettes and spend so long on their mobiles. Neighbours complained at the bad language used and the fag ends left around. I have not given negative rating as the units are still in good shape and I am happy with them. We got there in the end but the journey was not a pleasant one.

I hired Cornel to paint ceilings, and prepare and paint window frames. He went above and beyond to get the work done to a great standard, and even helped me out with other jobs I was doing on the walls at the same time. He was on time, professional, and thorough. I would highly recommend Cornel!

Questions to ask a Reading painter and decorator

Choosing a Reading 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 Reading?

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

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 Reading?

Decorating listed buildings in Reading 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 Reading painting and decorating services

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

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 Reading homes?

In Reading, 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 Reading?

Surface preparation in Reading 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 Reading 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.
