I just wanted to say what an amazing job you did for us at Roydon Village Hall. You were all so helpful from start to finish with advice and information with regards to materials used etc. The biggest advantage to us was the fact you could work flexibly for us and got the whole job done so quickly in just over one week. The fact you managed to do this meant that there was such minimal disruption to our regular hirers and therefore we had minimal loss of income too! To anyone who is looking for a decorator i would not hesitate in recommending you. You were all so amiable, professional, clean, tidy and finished the job to a high standard. You went above and beyond with the info you provided in your quote and this definitely helped us make our mind up to 'use' you. You weren't the cheapest or most expensive of the quotes but you were definitely the most thorough and helpful. Thank you again for all your help and advice.

Gavin and his staff did extensive work in our house and did so to a very high standard to our absolute satisfaction. Gavin gave our work careful and thorough consideration before a detailed estimate which we promptly accepted. He impressed us from our first meeting as a courteous and professional person. He phones when he says he will, he turns up when he says he will and at all times treated our home with the greatest respect. After completing the work he left the rooms in an immaculate state. Gavin is extremely helpful, totally reliable and honest and i have no hesitation in recommending his firm for painting and decorating work.

I am delighted to be able to offer a testimonial to the high quality of the workmanship of your decorating, reflected in your detailed knowledge of the materials and techniques, and in the efficient and friendly way in which you have carried out work for myself. I have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone and fully intend to propose your services to my own clients.

We are a GP surgery with a large purpose built premises and this year have undergone an extensive decorating programme. We found Howes an excellent organisation to do business with. They have organised the project with minimum disruption to the service. They have worked with us at every stage to establish a convenient time to carry out work for the benefit of both patients and clinicians. Their work has been thorough, of excellent quality and on time. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to other NHS establishments.

I would like to record my thanks for the very prompt action to repaint a flat during the short period when it was vacant. This is an essential requirement for rented properties. You completed the work to a high standard and very quickly. Thank you

During the time you were decorating the entire interior of our house you were a joy to have around. Points that stand out are
1. the painting was of superior quality and the cutting in of all the studs and beams was perfect.
2. every evening the furniture replaced as far as possible and all your paraphernalia neatly stored
3. any dust and debris removed every day.
Please thank your colleagues; an expert, hardworking, trustworthy team.
