  This is the second time that we have used Paul and Darren for our decorating jobs. The first time was for our 3 storey staircase and this time was for a staircase refresh, the living room and our en suite. Paul, Darren and Kieran were always on time and planned the work in such a way that they minimised the impact on our day. The quality of the work was excellent and they left the house clean and tidy at the end of each day. They will continue to be our first choice for any future decorating requirements.

  I am delighted at the way Ashley & Fellows have painted the outside of my house and garage. I’m afraid I had neglected it for some years but they achieved an excellent result; much better than I thought would be possible. They are pleasant to deal with and promptly reply to any query. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

  Ashley & Fellows painted the exterior of our property. They are very professional and the end result was excellent. Their preparation was impressive as that is key to provide a good finish. They cleaned out all our guttering. Repaired some surfaces that had blistered. They even replaced a broken roof tile. When the weather was against them they painted front door inside and out and also wall papered the lounge. My wife liked the way they tidied up after each day. Full marks to Paul and Darren !

  Paul and Darren have been our trusted decorators for several years now. Kieran who joined the team more recently fits in with the same standards as Darren and Paul. I strongly recommend their work. These boys give a first class service. They are conscientious and careful workers who take a pride in their own effort. They show consideration for the house and its contents where they are working. No mess, no drips! They aim to please and to leave the customer happy with the job. In addition to the above they are, all three, thoroughly nice young men and a… [read more]

  Paul & Darren have a very full order book. Booked in April and finally, as advised, got to me at End October. I can see why. Quick, accurate assessment and subsequent quote. Excellent preparation of external rendering on my Chalet Bungalow including a very effective ‘fix’ of some loose render – now stabilised. Quick, efficient, attention to detail. All done in a cheerful manner. Paul did some indoor work last year – great. I thoroughly recommend them both to one and all.

  What a great job done by Paul, Darren and their young apprentice Brad. They painted the outside of our pebble dashed bungalow and really made a super job of it. Including making good the facia boards where Western Power had needed to move the mains supply. Always friendly, very clean and tidy and kept us well informed of when they would be able to start the job. Well done chaps, you deserve to do well.

  Paul, Darren and Brad, the new member of the team, have just finished decorating the whole of the inside of my house. Whilst waiting for them to start they always responded promptly to messages and emails. They worked quickly and efficiently and were quite happy to tackle the rooms in an order which suited me. They tidied up at the end of each day, and when I had to go away for a couple of days whilst the work was in progress I felt comfortable leaving them with a key.I’m delighted with the finished result – and not one speck… [read more]

  Accomplished craftsmen, whose work is of the highest standard. Diligent about detail and preparation. Clean and tidy and minimum disruption. Able to offer sound advice if required but flexible and concerned about customer satisfaction. Good humoured and cheerful. I shall certainly use them again. A pleasant guy, good humoured, and every day he and his mate cleaned up well.
