Repair and redecoration of front facade, 3-storey Victorian end terrace house
Over a period of 2 weeks in May 2026, KAB Decorating Services (Jensen and Keith) repaired, restored and repainted the front of our 3-storey end-terrace Victorian house. Woodwork included 3 single wooden sash windows, 2 bay sash windows and a solid front door. Masonry included window surrounds, cornicing and stone sills, front-door surround, full flight of front steps and semi-basement walls and basement well. Brickwork did not require attention. Jensen was an excellent communicator via email and in person. The initial quote was reasonable, detailed and thorough and my additional questions were quickly addressed and confirmed in writing. Everything agreed kept within budget and was meticulously carried out. When issues arose, such as coping with sashes solidly sealed by old paintwork and the unexpected collapse of a stone sill, both were very responsive. All the work was carefully completed achieving a beautiful finish. Jensen and Keith are very calm, hard-working and totally professional and were a real pleasure to deal with throughout the project. An associate who provided the scaffolding was also excellent. I am very happy to give KAB a strong recommendation.

We would use KAB again, excellent job.
Keith and his son Jenson did an excellent job on sealing and then painting our newly plastered internal garage ceiling. To add to this, Keith gave us a very competitive price, he also gave helpful advice as a part of the job. We would use Keith and Jenson again. Completely trustworthy.

Work of high quality bang on time
The task was to redecorate our 4 bedroom 1890s townhouse (with the exception of one small room) over three and a half weeks. KAB achieved this with minimum fuss and to a high standard. We are very pleased with the end result. They were punctual throughout and were willing to put in the extra half hour where necessary. They worked hard throughout the three weeks At each stage they consulted us on our requirements and explained what they planned to do. Where the odd difficulty arose, KAB discussed with us the nature of the problem and suggested ways of solving, it which were effective in each case. They were very personable throughout and where they considered we might have difficulty making all areas of each room as accessible as possible, they offered very helpful support. On the day after completion they made an additional brief visit to ensure we were satisfied with their work and offered to put finishing touches to things we might have spotted overnight. Should the occasion arise, we would not hesitate to make KAB our first choice in the future.

Thorough and professional work
I wanted to thank Keith and his son Jensen for their great work repairing the frames of my bay window and painting the entire bay window of my living room. They were proactive, courteous, punctual and professional, delivered great quality work, and went above and beyond when they spotted unexpected issues with one of my window panels to fix them. I won't hesitate to use them again and recommend them to my connections. Anouck

Painting
KAB painted our wooden sash windows, along with some external painting to our house and did a lovely job. The painting looks great and is a big improvement. Keith and Jensen were professional, courteous, punctual and tidied up after each days work. The work was of a high standard and we would certainly recommend them to others.

Professional service by lovely people
We had them round to refurbish our sadly deteriorated outside facias/soffits. Keith came round and quickly provided a quote. They always get good reviews and word of mouth soon travels so they were not due to be available for several weeks. As it turned out, poor weather gave them an opportunity to do our smaller job much sooner. We were so pleased that we had chosen KAB Decorating Services. Keith and his son Jason patiently dealt with the intermittent rainy conditions, and did a thorough job of preparing the woodwork, then applying quality exterior paints. We have ended up with a very professional finish, which highlights the poor condition of the adjoining neighbours’ facias. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they included clearing the gutters out while they were on the ladders. Apart from doing a professional job, and clearing up each day, they are lovely people who are easy to deal with. Thank you, Keith and Jason.

Great work!
Keith & his son Jenson recently painted the outside of my house plus two bedrooms. The front of my house was in a really bad state & Keith & Jensen prepared it very thoroughly, before painting. Wallpapering was involved in one of the bedrooms which Keith undertook very carefully & the result was amazing! Their work on my house was altogether of a high standard & I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Keith & Jensen were professional, courteous & very pleasant to have around. They were also punctual, kept to their original quote & tidied up after each days work. A great team!

Excellent Work
KAB Decorating Services have just completed painting the outside of our three storey late Victorian terraced house. Following a competitive quote they organised some very tidy scaffolding and did a thorough job of preparing the woodwork and repairing two stone sills that needed more attention than we anticipated. The quality of the finished paintwork is excellent. Keith and his son were very professional, good communicators, and a pleasure to work with.

High quality work
Keith and his son painted the internal wooden frames of our windows which needed a freshen up. I found it easy to schedule the work. Keith provided a competitive quote which represented very good value for money considering what our builders were quoting us as part of a much bigger job. Everything went well and we were very pleased with the work. I would not hesitate to recommend and am going to ask for a quote for another job that is on the cards very soon.

House Transformed!
The décor in our town house was distinctly old and jaded; varnish/paintwork discoloured, rusty radiators, cracked plaster etc. We identified the local decorators who were Which? Trusted Traders and approached KAB for a quote. We met Keith, who completely understood our requirements and the work involved, and had no hesitation in accepting that. In three weeks, the agreed work was completed to schedule and at estimated cost. Keith and his son Jensen had completely transformed our interior. On all counts their work was excellent. Along with achieving a very high standard for the finished product, they were always punctual, courteous and sociable, and took pains to minimise the inevitable disruption. Some specialist plumbing and electrical work was required and carried out to a high degree of satisfaction. Keith organised all this through his network of proficient tradesmen. What impressed us as the work progressed, was KAB’s desire to get the final product right by frequently discussing with us, the pros and cons of alternatives where choices had to be made; often guiding us gently to the correct option! We hope to use KAB in future and have no hesitation in recommending them on all aspects of their workmanship!

Professional and reliable
Keith and his son did a very professional job on the repairs, preparation and painting of the front of my Victorian house. The wooden sash windows and the stone sills needed a lot of repair work using a resin filler. As I wasn’t present at the house Keith took the trouble to send me photos of the preparation and work required prior to doing the repairs. He was also happy to discuss the work and the proposed repairs with my partner, giving practical advice which reflected his knowledge and experience. He replied to messages promptly and I quickly came to realise that, if he said he would do something, he could be relied upon to do it. Both he and his son clearly take pride in their work, are knowledgeable, considerate and helpful. I would definitely use their services again.

Excellent work and communication
Keith and his son Jason decorated our hall and stairs. They did a really good job and offered help and advice. They took in their stride some extra work that we wanted and worked on a Saturday, which was very kind. The painting and prep had not been done well before, but they have transformed it. They are both lovely people and very polite and thoughtful. They hoovered and cleared regularly. Impressed. Hoping they will be back for other decorating jobs. Highly recommend.

Happy to recommend.
I am completely happy and confident to recommend K A B Decorating Services. Keith and his son Jenson have just spent the last couple of weeks repainting practically the whole of our flat. This was a job that needed to be done but which we were dreading because of the upheaval to our routine. Not only were we pleased with what they did but also grateful for the way they carried out this task, working around our daily living needs. Keith and Jenson were gentleman, both considerate and polite. Besides being very knowledgeable and patient they made the effort to ensure each day we had, for example, a bed and a room to sleep in. They were clean and tidy in their work and punctual. Thank you!

Keith did a great job - repairing and repainting the masonry around the windows of my first floor flat, and repainted the front door.
I have used Keith and his son for a number of outdoor painting/repair jobs and I highly recommend them. They do a great job, are professional and friendly. The work is delivered on time and at the cost quoted. Great for all types of painting/repair. They also carried out larger jobs eg repainting a boathouse - very large folding doors, outside masonry paint and the "stable doors" to our beer cellar. Plus renewing and revarnishing a wood front door and internal redecoration of the rowing club.

Keith and his son painted the exterior of our property in Greenwich. It was completed to a high standard, very cleanly, and they were both courteous and polite. Keith has done work for us in the past too and I fully recommend him for your painting needs.

Reliable and Professional Decorators
Keith and his son Jensen painted my kitchen and some external walls. They did an excellent job repairing some cracks in the mortar to leave a flawless finish. They worked hard to get the job done on time and on budget and kindly fitted in some extra painting that wasn’t quoted, to ensure I was happy. I was very pleased with their work, their attention to detail and pleasant manner. They were a pleasure to work with and it’s clear that Keith is very experienced in his trade. They are customer focused and understand how inconvenient decorating can be for clients so they are careful to cover everything and clean up after the job. I would certainly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional decorator.

Excellent, professional work
Over three weeks Keith and Jenson painted our townhouse inside and out, including a two-storey atrium. It was potentially challenging to have decorators in our home for such a long time. But it was entirely stress-free thanks to their flexibility and sensitivity. They were always calm, considerate and polite; and we enjoyed their company. They kept to the agreed schedule and completed the work on time and within budget. They cleaned up as they worked and thoroughly cleaned and hoovered at the end of each day. The preparation of surfaces to be painted was meticulous and the end result was excellent as a result. I would recommend them without reservation.

Thoroughly professional - and kind and generous
My relationship with Keith goes back two and a half years, to January 2020, when I asked him to quote for painting my hall and staircase. He did a splendid job, and since then has become my trusted, valued partner in the long-term project of re-decorating my entire house: hall and staircase, three bedrooms, kitchen and utility room, bathroom and toilet, attic studio and garage. Keith's son Jensen joined him in the later stages: he is following in his father's very professional footsteps, and together they completed the final rooms last week. The work has been spread over four stages during the two and a half years since then. Every bit of it has been done to a thoroughly high standard. Keith understands the importance to the finished job of meticulous preparation (not all painters do). Every crack has been carefully raked out and filled (and when necessary re-filled after the first coat of paint) and any necessary re-plastering done. The painting itself was done beautifully - well brushed out, with no smears on the window panes. The inevitable few little splashes were quickly cleaned up, and whichever room they were working in was left clean and tidy at the end of the day. All that deserves my five stars. But it doesn't take in the kindness and generosity of the man himself, for whom nothing seems to be too much trouble, and who is genuinely a pleasure to work with and to know. My house has been completely transformed thanks to Keith, and I'm very grateful to him.
