    Paint Bedroom
    Friendly man but I had to call him back in because the cutting in was not even attempted around the edges where the walls meet the ceiling. Neither was the doorframe or around the sockets. Unfortunately, my builder who was supposed to let him in on the agreed come back date didn't arrive so I rescheduled to have Ron back a couple of days later. I got charged an extra £40 (3 hours work) on top of the £120 I was initially charged which I wasn't entirely happy about. This was apparently for his lost work and I couldn't be bothered to argue. He did do an extra coat on the walls but frankly, if the painting was done properly in the first place I wouldn't have needed to call him back at all. In summary, the result is OK but not professional and I am a little annoyed about the black paint brush hairs stuck in the white painted windowsills. If you do use this painter, I recommend that you agree a price for a finished job rather than a specified amount of coats.

    Answer from tradesperson:

    I finished the work at 18:00 on Saturday 04/02/2012. The client attended and paid me. Objectively we were both approving the final finish in poor light. I was later contacted by the client and told that the walls were patchy and required another coat. I agreed to charge the client a flat £40. We fixed a time for Friday 10/02/2012 which was cancelled by the client. We rescheduled for Sunday 12/02/2012. On the Sunday I cut in the walls to the ceiling, applied a coat to the walls, applied a gloss coat to the window sills and skirting boards. The client’s mother re attended and in liaison with the client, I was paid and left. I apologize for the hairs on the window sill and the overall client disappointment.

    Wallpapering one wall in bedroom
    Ron wallpapered a wall in my bedroom for me today, and did an absolutely fantastic job. He managed to fit me in quickly as it was a small job, and at a very reasonable cost. The wallpaper looks stunning, and I can't thank Ron enough. A thoroughly lovely guy too! Will be recommending and keeping his number for future jobs! Thanks Ron!

    Exterior painting (woodwork and pebbledash)
    Ron was able to start the job within a few days of quoting, which was exactly what I was looking for. Unlike other tradesmen I've used, he worked exclusively on my job from start to finish (over a week), and worked full days, usually from 8.30am until past 6pm. He was professional, honest, trustworthy and courteous - even my dog liked him! Recommended. Regards Rob

    Monthly garden maintenance

    Ron did a great job and we are really pleased with the results. He was polite, friendly, punctual and always cleared up before leaving our home each day. Our garden has been completely transformed and we would definitely recommend Upminster Plus.
