    Decorating

    Del and his colleague Kevin have just completed the redecoration of the hall and stairway of our 3 storey house and they have done an excellent job! Their work is of the highest standard, they were extremely clean and tidy (any dust was hoovered up immediately) and left the house in a good state at the end of each day. They also arrived and left on time every day, were polite and well mannered - in fact, they were a pleasure to have around. I will definitely recommend them, and should I need a decorator in the future I will use them again.

    Painting three rooms in flat in Peckham, SE15

    Del did a very good job for us and I would definitely be happy to recommend him. Competitive quote, job completed on time and on budget, flat left in a good tidy condition with a neat job of work completed. He popped back without quibbling to fix up a couple of minor snagging items. Overall we were very impressed.

    Painting

    I would definitely recommend Del. He does a very professional job and his client service is excellent. From the very fair quote to questions before the job started he was very quick to respond. Del also bought all the paint and this was included in the cost. This was a great help to us.

    Painting 2 rooms; perhaps plastering them too!

    Del did a brilliant job; not expensive, very straightforward and a top bloke. Very happy having him around and would use him again in an instant.

    3 room+ woodchip wallpaper removal/prep for painting

    Excellent. Included a ceiling skim in the price. Derek and his team arrived early each day and got the job done well. Recommended to me a good plasterer who is now working in the flat. Would recommend Derek to others and will have him back for other jobs for sure. Dominic

    Small plastering job required to water damaged wall

    On time, on price, quality job and friendly worker. Would definately use them again. Even left me some PVA so I could treat the plaster before I paint it next week. Great service.

    Remove old ceiling, board ceiling and skim whole room

    I wouldnt recommend this man for many reasons. A man called Clifford pretended to be Derek, on the phone and in person when he came to do a quote. It wasnt untill we agreed the job and he started work that my husband found out he was not Derek as he had said. He DID NOT TURN UP ON TIME ONCE. We agreed a time he would start every day, 8-9am and he wouldnt turn up untill he fancied. between 10am and 1.30pm. He would then work untilll 9 or 10 at night. I dicussed the importance of working agreed times on many occasions however he ignored us every time. RUDE, DISRESPECTFULL AND UNPROFESSIONAL. I was 8 months pregnant with twins at the time and having to sleep in our lounge, which i explained to him, however he continued to arrive and finish whenever he fancied. I even had to call him on 2 occasions to see if he was even coming, and then arrange to leave the key for him. My husband had to take the rubble to the waste himself, even tho we had agreed that was part of the job- obviously. Plastering job was ok standard. Paint job was terrible. He only cut in once, which with dark paint ment that there is a pale line around the edges and he painted dirt into the gloss and didnt sand between coats. I will have to repaint the room again myself as it is a terrible finish. I do not recommend him, and I would advise against hiring him.

    Answer from tradesperson:

    Hi, I am Derek Allison (delthepainter) the true identity,I'm very sorry,that a certain Clifford accepting job from you without my knowledge,he now ruined my reputation which I'm taking care of, where my livelihood lies upon, damaging my records on MY Builders.Com. which I handled it with care and love. Please accept my apology, If given the chance, please allow me to re-doing /re-painting the room with free-of charge, just to re-gain and get back my positive commets and my future jobs from the general public. Thank you very much, I remain,DELTHEPAINTER

    Painting Exterior of 3 storey house

    Del and his assistant did a great job, were entirely professional and punctual and I would be very happy to ask him to quote again, or to recommend him to a friend.

    Paint front door

    Del did a fantastic job. He turned up on time, was professional and tidy and the paint job is perfect. He made sure he prepped the door properly and then came back two days in a row to ensure the painting was of a high standard. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Del and I am hoping to use his services again for some internal painting jobs that need doing.
