What Our Customers Say

“Great price. I found P & D Painters to be totally professional. Their men were polite and respectful and were very careful of the areas where they were painting. They kept my wife and I fully informed on progress and time scale. Their finished product was just as I expected from this firm. Their price was more than acceptable after they had to redo work from another painter. If you want a trustworthy painting company who do a great job, I cannot recommend them enough.”

Excellent eye for detail and very competitive pricing, and as you can see from the images I’ve uploaded how good the finish was. P&D Painter completed some internal and external work for us, and I will be using them again for our next project, and would be very happy to recommend them. Thanks very much for all your hard work.”

— Jackie Breton

“Russell and his team provided an excellent service on what was a tricky church exterior repair and repaint. Peter went well beyond our expectations when it came to dealing with borer damage and the preparation of a sadly neglected church for repainting. It now looks bran new! We had obtained a number of quotes, in which Russell was quick to meet us on site to discuss our requirements and offer advice, then submitted the most competitive quote. He organized an excellent subcontractor for fixing the deteriorating wood work who worked in with his team to complete the job efficiently and on time. They worked safely and fulfilled all the H&S guidelines we required. Russell’s well insured and he and his team are all pleasant to work with. We could not of been happier with the excellent job they made of painting and repairing our church. Thanks again Russell”

“Very impressed with the Team from P & D Painters. I was referred on by another client who had experienced their workmanship and on seeing the work completed in their home I engaged Russell to quote. A very competitive quote for a full internal paint job completed in 3 stages by Chris & Graham. So impressed with their work ethics with nothing too hard to go beyond the extra mile to complete a very rewarding paint finish throughout. Will have no hesitation in engaging the Company to quote on external work to be completed in the summer months ahead. A job very well done with the minimum of fuss. Thanks guys!!”

The team very kindly donated their time and paint to give the gym a new lease of life and it is very much appreciated by our members. They were professional and efficient in getting the job done, with minimal disruption to our provision of exercise groups. As a charity it is hard to find sufficient funding for our services, so it was lovely to receive such a kind and thoughtful donation.”
