    Kitchen and dining room in listed building

    Please take notice of the negative reviews. We had a very similar experience and this appears to be Saul's way of operating. I would also recommend looking at Saul's reviews on other websites. Disingenuous quotes, despite a thorough evaluation of the property, and unreasonable demands for additional money in advance, under threat of walking off the site. Also beware of his 'administrator', who sent a stream of intimidating emails and text messages. Saul ended up walking off site after we refused to make a payment equal to the remaining balance on the quote when he was less than half way through the job. We acted in good faith throughout our interactions, but that was not returned. Subsequent decorators have refused to take on completing the job due to the poor standard of Saul's prep work.

    Answer from tradesperson:

    Due to this client’s poor attitude and treatment of tradesmen, it really is unsurprising that all other decorators that they’ve approached have refused to continue their project. We do not provide quotes or “all-in” prices to our clients, despite this client trying their best to tie us to one. We provide estimates for their work, this prevents clients continually adding free tasks throughout the duration of their project. This client constantly added additional work throughout the first week or so of their project, subsequently slowing us down, they then refused to pay for the additional work, so rightfully, we had to discontinue the project, as we don’t provide free services and materials. Not to mention the refusal to pay for additional materials used due to them adding this extra work. They also were completely negligent when it came to payments, deciding if and when they wanted to pay for our services, despite having agreed a clear payment schedule with them prior to starting the job. Horrific clients to work for and again, not surprised in the slightest that no other decorator will consider continuing their project. Hopefully this response will reach other tradesmen on this platform and save them the stress and financial burden that this client causes.

    Paint walls, skirting and window sills

    Saul is the consummate professional. He communicates well, is organised and highly skilled and is a pleasure to have in one’s home. Meticulous preparation ensured the finish was excellent. Saul is personable and very supportive and so took any stress out of the whole decorating process. I will not even consider anyone else in future.

    Paint walls and woodwork in a bedroom

    A very nice job, professional and tidy. Took a bit longer than anticipated but Saul was not feeling well part of the time and the weather was extremely hot. Very pleased.

    Paint ceiling and walls

    We had a very poor experience with Saul much in line with other feedback that we have now seen. We decided not to continue with the job and paid his cancellation charge so as not to continue with a painful experience. Would certainly not use him again or recommend. Fully expect to receive an indignant reply to this genuine feedback.

    Answer from tradesperson:

    Unfortunately, this client broke multiple terms and conditions from the very first day we started. The client had no heating, no lighting, no access to hot water and there were multiple tradesmen working in the property which prevented us from carrying out any decoration work in most rooms/areas. The client booked us to start far too early when the majority of his other work had not been completed or even started. Very poorly run renovation project.

    Paint landing, lounge and kitchen

    The job was rushed and not completed in full. I'm not happy and would not use them again. If you use them be sure to look at the finished job in the daylight before you sign it off!

    Answer from tradesperson:

    This client signed off our work on the day of completion and was very happy with the result. A couple of days later, she requested that we return to correct a flaw which wasn’t noticed during her inspection on the day of completion. She wasn’t happy having to wait until we had finished our current job, we did not have the time to return until we did so.

    Painting my stairway wall

    We just had Saul and his assistant Shannon, painting our hall, stairs and landing. Work was carried out with great care and attention to detail. Finished work was very very good! The job was completed on time and Saul even painted our ceilings for free! I would definitely recommend them; I’m delighted!

    Require decorator to paint my lounge by weekend

    Saul is a really good decorator with his attention to detail in preparation and quality of finish. His use of spraying provides a really good uniform finish.

    Paint walls

    The job was assessed and completed to a high standard on the same day by a hard working team. My bedroom look fresh and new again. Many thanks to Saul Mitchell and his staff.

    Lounge, Stairs & Landing Re-painted

    Saul recently painted our lounge, including a feature wall, stair case, and up stairs landing as well as glossing woodwork and it was done to a very high standard. Really nice guy who even worked on weekend to fit us into his busy schedule. Did a great job and would recommend
