Highlights
"Richard decorated our living room in the recent past & more recently the house exterior. The standard of preparation, wall papering and painting are exceptionally high. Richard is very pleasant to deal with, he reliably responds to contacts & appointments, is flexible & always punctual. We are more than satisfied with the results of his expertise."
"Richard Bentley originally did some work on our house when we moved into it in 2011/12. We asked him to return to decorate living/dinning room after heating system leaked. Once Dry, Richard arrived (always on time... sometimes a little early!). Richard takes huge pride in the quality of work and fills in little dents in the wall we did not even know existed and helped select the appropriate colors to. The rooms (walls and ceiling) look brand new and of an excellent quality. Thanks Richard - Muriel and I would not hesitate recommending you guys!"
"Stuart and Richard decorated my lounge, landing and staircase, and they did a lovely job. The quality of the work was excellent, and attention to detail second to none; one of the details being, making imperfect walls perfect again. I would recommend Frank Bentley & Son to anyone. The only reason for the four stars on value is simply that I would have preferred to pay a little less! However, I thinkquality may have been sacrificed by going with another trader charging less. I'm extremely happy with the result."
