We had a brilliant experience with Paul Thomas Painter and Decorator. Paul was professional reliable and took great care with every part of the job. The preparation was excellent the finish was smooth and clean and the attention to detail was impressive. He worked efficiently while keeping everything tidy throughout. The final result has completely refreshed our home and we are extremely pleased with the quality of the work.
Wow, I am so thrilled with the work Paul has completed over the last 2 weeks, it was so worth the wait. He has painted and wallpapered the Hall, Stairs, Kitchen, Dining Room and even fitted in a water damage repair in the lounge. All of the work has been done to absolute perfection. Paul is so professional, friendly and totally trustworthy, he arrives on time and when leaving at the end of the day everything is left clean and tidy. I would 100% recommend Paul and will definitely use again.
5 star Highly recommend Paul. He was quick to respond to our inquiry and came to see us at home. So friendly and chatty knew straight away he was the man for job. He was honest in terms of his availability we were happy to wait as it showed he’s popularity/in demand. Paul was professional, thorough and meticulous with his work. He prepped and sanded all walls and woodwork before decorating/varnishing our whole house. We left Paul in our house whilst we went away for a week. We came home to find house clean/tidy- furniture all put back and rooms returned to original layout. Paul helped us put pictures, curtain poles and items back on walls which was a big help in getting our home back in order. Recommend Paul for anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy and professional painter/decorator. Thank you Rosemary and Abby
Paul has decorated our home on three occasions. I am not given to writing reviews but i have to say Paul has done amazing work. His wallpapering is sooo good. He is diligent, on time, polite, friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommended!
Paul has done an incredible job on our room that we are turning into an office. He was punctual, a very clean and tidy worker, his attention to detail and professionalism really stood out for us and his work is high quality. We are so pleased with the work and will be asking Paul to come back in 2026 for some further decorating. We would 100% recommend Paul. 👍🏻
We're so happy with the work Paul did in our baby girl's room! 🤩 He helped us choose the perfect wallpaper and brought our idea to life exactly how we imagined. Super quick, tidy, and the finish is just perfect! Our little Julia will love her room for sure!! 🩷 Couldn't recommend him enough - thank you, for everything! 🙏🏻
Paul has just finished decorating our kitchen and honestly it looks brand new! His work is incredibly meticulous and the attention to detail is brilliant. Turned up on time and left the house clean and tidy everyday. Would absolutely recommend him and looking forward to him coming back to decorate our hallway and landing once it's been replastered. Thanks again Paul!
What a fantastic job!!! The painting and wallpaper hanging look have brightened up the rooms and have a professional finish. Paul is so helpful, and nothing was to much trouble. He was clean and tidy and very personable. We are over the moon with the outcome. So much so Paul has been asked to decorate the rest of the property. Thank you Paul you have been brilliant all round!! Posted for my parents.
Paul is a true professional and master of his craft and although he has a waiting list be patient and wait for him and you will not be disappointed. He has just completed decorating our lounge/diner, hall, stairs, landing and downstairs toilet that had water damage due to a leak. The finish is impeccable and all done within the time scale of 5 days! Paul is reliable, punctual, a clean and tidy worker, has respect for your property and above all of this trustworthy. We look forward to having Paul back later in the year to decorate our bedroom. Thank you Paul for your hard work and getting our house back in order.
Paul has just finished decorating three rooms for us. He did a great job. He was punctual, efficient, worked methodically and effectively and cleaned up at the end of each day . He was respectful to us, our home and the dog. I couldn't recommend him highly enough. We have already booked him to do more work for us.
First time using Paul. High praise from other reviews fully merited. Produced a timely and very reasonable quote and fitted us in at short notice. Has been with us over 11 days and has painted and decorated the outside of our cottage windows and sills. Always prompt, very professional, a clean and tidy worker and we are delighted with his work. Very easy to get on with and what a lovely chap (ex military as I am). We have developed a friendship and will certainly be using him again in the future. Many thanks Paul!
Paul is not only a friend and neighbour, he is the best painter/ decorator that I have had the pleasure to know. His attention to detail is second to none, his work is meticulous, and he is honest and helpful with regard to ideas and planning. I have utilised Paul's services a few times now and have never been disappointed. He will always be my first choice of decorator. He is professional, prompt and precise, but he is also popular so make sure to book in early! Thank you Paul.
Paul started decorating for us a year ago where we required painting and wall papering. We had never met Paul before or knew of his ability. I can whole heartedly say that Paul is the best decorator we have ever had work for us. His work is impeccable, his professionalism is way above the bar and his project close out is next to none. Paul has a waiting list but to be honest I would wait for Paul than let anyone into my property. You won't be disappointed.
Fantastic job. From the initial specification to the prep, painting and wallpapering throughout, Paul and Mike have done an outstanding job. Attention to detail, workmanship and professionalism is second to none. I love it! I would thoroughly recommend them.
Last week we had our hall, lounge, landing and stairs decorated by Paul Thomas. Poor guy had his work cut out with stains and cracks which had received no attention in 18 years! He’s transformed our house! Paul worked quickly and thoroughly and we are thrilled with his work. A very respectful guy who we trusted in our home. He kept us up to date each day with what he had done and left our home clean and tidy. We would thoroughly recommend him to anyone and we’ve already mentioned more work to him in our kitchen! Thanks a million Paul!
Excellent! We are very happy with the three rooms we needed doing! We had cracks in both ceilings upstairs and a few holes in the walls from the previous owner and they are now gone with no trace! Has really brightened the place up! Paul & Stu were very easy to deal with and very trustworthy! Would highly recommend! Cheers
Paul and his team were absolutely fantastic. Great communication throughout and the quality of work is top class 👌🏻 I wouldn't hesitate recommending him for your next interior upgrade.
Paul and the team were fantastic! Really friendly, respectful. They finished our hallway and landing in 2 days, left everything really clean and we are very happy with the results. We will definitely be contacting again.
Paul was very helpful , prompt and professional , he helped to sort out a mess in my grans hallway left by previous workmen , very reasonable price and he painted the ceiling as an extra which was very kind , will defiantly recommend to anyone who would like a honestly , trustworthy Decorater 👍👍👍
Paul came to give us a quote for the kitchen and bathroom and whilst here also recommended someone to do some general handyman work. Both Paul and the handyman came up trumps! Great job completed in a timely way, very clean, very tidy. Would certainly recommend Paul and will use his services for future decorating. Finished to a very high standard. Thanks Paul..
Paul and his partner painted my whole flat, very professional, very tidy, and reliable. Absolutely recommend their services and would definitely use them again
Paul & Mike did a great job painting our flat. They protected our carpets and furniture and cleaned up at the end of the day. They were both very friendly and professional. We would highly recommend them and use them again for any future decorating needs.
Paul is a perfectionist and did an amazing job of decorating our lounge and double height hallway. He was always punctual, cleared everything away at the end of the day and his workmanship was excellent. Would highly recommend.
Paul worked incredibly hard on our house and finished ahead of schedule. He was very friendly, punctual and considerate. Each day the rooms were left clean and tidy and the work was of a very high standard! Very chuffed with the outcome and will be using Paul for future projects.
Can’t recommend Paul highly enough. Both him and Mike were extremely professional, honest and reliable. They did a fantastic job. And it was a very big job. Everything was cleaned and cleared away each day so the disruption of the renovation was as limited as possible. All work was completed to a high standard and they were a pleasure to work with.
Will definitely be using Paul again! Couldn’t fault the work he has done for me. Finished the work efficiently and to the highest standard!
Amazing work!! Paul came round and gave us a very reasonable quote for our lounge and master bedroom. We had a rough idea of what we wanted but Paul was great with offering advice on paint choices etc.. He fit us in with really short notice and the work was carried out and completed in just 3 days whilst continuing with other work! We absolutely love the result and can’t wait to get the rest of the house done! Would definitely recommend Paul to anyone, thanks again!
The best decorators we've ever had. So professional and with absolute precision, the lines on our feature walls are perfection! We are so impressed and very grateful, work areas were vacuumed and everything got tidied away at the end of the day. This made our family spaces usable and comfortable throughout. Paul & Mike are professional, punctual and do an absolutely fantastic job, it's changed the feel of our home. We have already rebooked them to do the exterior of our home and the remaining internal rooms in the autumn. Brilliant work and value for money, would highly recommend.
First class team and we are delighted with the workmanship delivered by Paul & Mike. Consistently excellent time keepers,truly reliable and listened to all our requests and feedback. We had our kitchen, dining room, hallway, master bedroom and two additional bedrooms decorated. All were decorated to an extremely high standard and we returned to the bungalow daily with it being clean and very tidy! Thank you chaps for your service. We would definitely not hesitate to recommend you and use you again in the future. Great job!!
Paul & Mike did an amazing job. All wallpaper stripped and all walls scraped, filled and painted to an exceptionally high standard. I was quoted a timeline-The work was finished three weeks early. Good value for the amount of work involved. Would highly recommend and will be using them again to carry out some additional work. Thanks Gentlemen.
Excellent service from Paul and Mike. Our three year old new build was in need of a re paint after all the settling / drying out. Paul and Mike made good, painted all internal walls, ceilings and wood work to a high standard. Great communication, friendly and professional. Thank you very much!
Paul’s communication from the very beginning was fantastic and continued throughout. He was an absolute joy to have in our home! My husband and I are incredibly happy with the finished result, his attention to detail is impeccable! We’ll definitely hire Paul for future projects - If you’re looking for unbelievably good quality standard of work, someone you can completely trust in your home, that is 100% reliable, hire Paul, he’s golden!
We could not be happier with Paul and Mikes work on our home, we needed wallpaper removed, walls and ceilings plastered, and all walls, ceilings and woodwork painted in our entranced lounge, landing and up the stairs. All communication was great, rapid responses, really set out expectations with timelines and kept us up to date, they sourced the plasterers and they have been a pleasure to have in our home this last week. We knew if we had done this job ourselves we would not get the finish we want and Paul & Mike have exceeded our expectations, the finish is amazing we literally cannot fault a single thing. We also work from home and have a dog yet we didn’t have any interruptions to our days and they made it as easy as possible for us to live our life normal. AND THEY HAVE LEFT IT SO CLEAN!!! I don’t think our carpet has ever been so well hoovered! Thank you so much for helping make our house a home, I couldn’t recommend them enough!
Turned up on the date agreed weeks before to repaint our exterior woodwork. Was on site for 6 weeks and during that time transformed our neglected large Edwardian house. All woodwork sanded, filled and prepared and in some cases rescued very well and finished with several coats of paint. End result was stunning. Paul worked non stop and diligently. A serious worker and very easy to get on with which makes life easier when someone is around for six weeks. He had our full trust. No corners were cut. I have no hesitation in recommending him and his work
Quick response and very competitive quote . Just accepted with September booked in .
Could not recommend enough! Meticulous and beautiful work, lots of care and attention given. On time, efficient, tidy and lovely too :) If you want a good and thorough job done - look no further! Thanks so much again, kate
Paul, and his colleague Mike, did a fantastic job of painting our hallway and landing. They had to deal with the horrid turquoise paint we inherited when we moved in and lots of dints and cracks in the walls and ceiling. They completed it all to a very high standard, with a smile on their faces and friendly banter. They were friendly, efficient and so very good at clearing up after themselves. We are so pleased with the end result and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
Paul and Mike painted our hallway, bannisters, and balustrades, converting the latter from traditional mahogany to modern white. The completed job was excellent in terms of their care and standard of workmanship. They were punctual, courteous and extremely tidy, clearing everything away each night. I would highly recommend them. Allan of Littledown.
Excellent quality decorating, efficient and personable too. I would highly recommend Paul and Mike. Thanks Joanne
Paul was very responsive, friendly, punctual, professional and thorough - everything was carefully considered and nearly finished. We were very pleased with the final results.
Paul painted both the outside of my house and also my kitchen. On both occasions he done a fantastic job, great value and on time the jobs were completed to a high standard I would highly recommend! With painting you’re always worried about the mess, not Paul he cleaned up after himself and left the place as he found it. I will 100% use Paul again for the next painting job.
Paul and Mike took on the job of completely repainting my whole house. They helped me work out the best colours in a couple of rooms. Their attention to detail was first class. They hoovered and tidied up at the end of each day which was really appreciated. I couldn't be happier with the end result. They are polite, friendly, professional and ensured the job was done to a high standard. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending them.
Paul and Mike did a fantastic job decorating our hall, stairs and landing. Great guys - friendly and professional and quality workmanship. Already booked them in for the next job.
Paul and his colleague Mike were able to fit us in last minute to do a complete interior decorating job on a three bedroom bungalow. The work included all walls and ceilings in all the rooms and was done to an excellent standard, even though they had to work around other trades that were constantly in the rooms. They both managed to complete the work in time and on budget and were professional throughout with great time keeping. Overall I highly recommend them both and will certainly use them again in the future.
Fast, professional and friendly service. All work completed to a very high standard. Would definitely recommend
Paul did a fantastic job for us. He was prompt and courteous and respected our property. We would highly recommend Paul and his team, thankyou
Can not fault Paul and Mike's work. They are super responsive, helpful extremely tidy workers, and their work is first class and top notch. So pleased we found them and have already asked if they would take on some other work for us. Would highly recommend. Thank you both!! 🙂
Paul has completed many decorating jobs for us and we wouldn't go anywhere else for our decorating needs. The quality of work that Paul provides is brilliant and we would never be able to decorate a room to such a high standard ourselves. Paul has completed internal and external decorating of our house and we would highly recommend him. We already have the next job in mind for him :-)
Paul & Mike painted our landing, stairs, downstairs toilet & glossed several doors for us. They have done an amazing job and we are really happy with the standard of work. They kept everything clean and tidy throughout the whole process & are competitively priced too. I would definitely use these guys again & would highly recommend them.
Paul and Mike where prompt, friendly and efficient. Very happy with the completed job.
I cannot recommend highly enough. After having a really bad experience with a builder who left my hallway in a terrible state, I could not see the wood through the trees, until it was decorated. Never before have I seen such perfection and precision. My house has been made a home. So friendly, reliable, immaculate! Thank you so so much!
Excellent service. Paul is a true professional and left our lounge dinner looking fantastic! Amazing finish! Thanks Paul will definitely book you in the future
Excellent work. Very pleased with each of the rooms (whole house decorated). Very clean and tidy. Worked with and around us to decorate while we all lived in the house! Would recommend and will use again. Always arrived on time and left home tidy at the end of each day. Paul just got on with the work. 5 Star! Thank you for doing such a lovely job.
Paul has just completed interior decoration of my kitchen and bedroom which had both been plastered. He and his colleague Mike did a fantastic job and went above and beyond, even kindly putting a new curtain pole up for me. Paul is polite, always on time and always replied to my messages. Plus his work is fantastic. He also helped me with choosing colours! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and will definitely use him again in the future for any decorating needs. Thanks Paul and Mike!
Paul and his colleague Mike removed some awnings from our house, repaired and painted the house and surrounding walls. They have done an absolutely astounding job and they were a pleasure to have around. The house looks great and they were very tidy, always on time and have super attention to detail. I would definitely recommend them!
Paul was prompt, very efficient, friendly and gave a professional service. Wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and would definitely recommend 5*
Had a great experience of using Paul and his associate to redecorate our main bedroom . Paint work and paper hanging to a feature wall all carried out to a high standard. Would expect to book him in for further work in the future.
Paul & Mike did the interior and exterior decorating for our ‘fairly major’ building work. They were a pleasure to work with and very professional and flexible - working to accommodate when the builder didn’t quite have areas ready and leaving us with a high standard of finish throughout. We would highly recommend!
Great quality service as always from Paul and Mike - totally trustworthy, reliable and efficient. They price reasonably and do not cut corners - always consulting on different aspects along the way. First class and we will use again for certain. Thanks again. Pat and Sam
Highly recommend - quality of work is excellent, competitive price, neat and tidy during and after decorating work!
Paul did a fantastic job. We're doing a full renovation and Paul has worked with us to get things done around the other works going on. Paul was clean and efficient and besides almost every room in the house being a different colour, you'd never have known anyone had been here! We would 100% recommend Paul, and have already booked in to get the kitchen done when the building work is finished.
Paul did a fabulous job in double quick time as I’d requested. Totally dedicated to a quality job and focused on keeping me appraised on issues as the project continued. The results were excellent and I’d thoroughly recommend Paul to anyone looking to brighten their home. He came up with great suggestions that I followed and I’m very happy with the results. I’ll definitely be calling on Paul again in the future. Absolutely delighted!
Let’s start with the fundamentals- Paul’s work is exemplary. His attention to detail even exceeds this extremely fussy customer’s expectations. But more than just this, he is courteous, punctual, tidy and fastidious. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He delivers a first class service, exactly as quoted, when promised and at a very reasonable cost. He has completed both external and internal decorating projects for me and each time I have been delighted with the quality of workmanship.
We have used Paul & Mike on several occasions and they have decorated the entire house top to bottom. They are both genuine, honest, professional and helpful guys. Nothing is ever to much trouble and if you need advice on for example colour ideas they are always helpful. We would definitely use the guys again in the future.
Myself and my husband have just moved from Surrey to Poole and have purchased a beautiful four bed Bungalow that needed painting throughout walls woodwork and varnishing of doors Not knowing any decorators I took a risk and went online some thing new to me but probably the best thing I have ever done we found Paul and Mike We agreed a price and they started within weeks A week and a half latter they have finished and we have one of the best finishes I have ever seen The most professional clean amazing job I have ever experienced and the bonus also two top notch guys I would and will recommend them again and again From Lorraine and Mark two very happy customers

I can’t recommend Paul high enough. Paul is a true professional and he did an amazing job. He arrived on the first day on time and put my mind at rest straight away that he was going to do a good. By the end of the third day when he finished, my house looked incredible. He was clean, tidy, friendly and courteous. Thanks to him my home is looking wonderful again. I am Booking him again to do my kitchen doors later in the year. I have no hesitation in recommending Paul to anyone looking for a painter and decorator to transform anyone’s home. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Paul has done amazing work to our 2 very old bedrooms! He was professional and put 100% into his work everyday and you can tell he enjoys doing what he does so well!

Brilliant work done on our lounge! Fitted us in quickly and the work was completed to a very high standard. Everything covered and cleaned up after - we had a brand new carpet down and not a single mark left on it. Also very reasonably priced with quick quotes provided.
Paul gave my parents home a through and complete redecoration throughout the property. The results are outstanding and he has done a fantastic job. Paul's service was prompt and professionally delivered. I would highly recommend for any painting and decorating service and will be only to pleased to use again in the future.
Paul wallpapered our bedroom wall at last minute as we were let down by another decorator. Paul worked to a very high standard, very good job and would use again and definitely recommend.
Paul & Mike transformed our flat by decorating our Lounge, Bedroom, Stairs and Landing. All done in four days, and each day they left everything clean and tidy. Very happy and would highly recommend.
Superb service, quick, professional, reliable and cleared up everyone else's mess.

Paul did my lounge and hallway to a very high standard. I couldn't be more pleased with the end result. His quote was spot on and he left my home clean and tidy every night. I would definitely recommend Paul to anyone who expects quality work.
We’ve always done our own decorating but had heard good things about this company. Paul painted our hallway and all of the woodwork in the house. He also did the ceilings in 3 rooms and it was done to such a high standard I would recommend him to anyone as his prices were really competitive too.
Paul gave us a great quote for our two rooms and completed it so quickly! He arrived on time and completed the job to a high standard. He was happy to help us and give us lots of advice. Thank you for your hard work and being so professional! We are so happy with the result! Will definitely be using Paul again!
Absolutely amazing work. Paul came round and gave us a very reasonable quote for our living room and bedroom to be repainted and wallpapered. He managed to fit us in really short notice and completed the work in good time over Christmas. We were unsure with what we wanted so gave Paul pretty much free reign with what he thought would look good. Very happy with the choices and recommendations made by him and the completed job looks amazing. Would definitely recommend Paul to anyone thinking of getting any work done. Dan
