Living Colour redecorated bedroom, bathroom and cloakroom and I was highly satisfied with both the result and the service. The quote was reasonable and accurate, the quality of the work excellent, and the service cooperative, efficient and friendly. I have every intention of using them again when the need arises.

Painted walls and skirting in a number of rooms. Their attention to detail was excellent, including pointing out, and fixing, some less than satisfactory work from the damp contractor. Job was completed to a high standard, on time and to quote even with the few extras. They also cleaned up mid job to accommodate some guests I had coming. It's these little considerations than turn a good company a great one. Highly recommended.

Jessica was extreemly pleasant and very reliable. It was not easy to paint a front door in winter but she rose to the challenge. Her work was of a very high standard and she was very tidy. Everyone in the household was very pleased with the end result and we would definately recommend her.

Living Colour redecorated two bedrooms and a hallway for me and I am very pleased with their work. Their preparation was extremely thorough which really paid off in the finish, which was also of a very high standard. Their quote was clear, reasonable and accurate and they were friendly and helpful. I will certainly use them again, and have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

Living Colour did everything right. They provided a thorough, reasonable quote, turned up, worked hard and got the job done to a very high standard. Even cleaned the outside of the window! A really nice team of professionals. Loved my new cupboard doors and the wallpaper is spot on.

Jessica and her team are extremely professional, pleasant to deal with and did a great job. They were also very flexible and worked over the weekend to complete the job in time for my new tenant to move in. Refreshing to find a painter and decorator who knows what they are doing and produces a quality job. I would definitely employ Living Colour again.

In sum, Living Colour are/were simply brilliant. They did a brilliant job for me, and did so with a smile and with patience. This is called excellence in the work done and in the quality of the "customer service". I recommend them without hesitation. Jessica was super efficient, professional and patient in initially discussing with me the jobs to be done. During the four days over which the various decorating, painting, and other jobs were done, I cannot overemphasize how brilliant Jessica, Kelvin and their team from Living Colour were. Throughout the period, keeping me informed and updating me on progress, and with full details. The quality of the completed works is first-class, and good value for money. I can see they demand high standards in the work they do. Thank you Jessica, Kelvin and the rest of the Living Colour team.

We were depressed by staring at four grey walls during lockdown, so decided on a feature wall papered with a design of leaves and parrots. We cannot fault Living Colour. They fitted us in quickly, came when they said they would, were pleasant and friendly, and their work was meticulous. They spent some time perfecting the finish on our wall before papering and the final result is perfectly smooth. No one can see where the pieces of paper join, either. We are delighted with their work, which has been much admired by visitors.

Really unreliable company - completely disorganised. Either cancel appointments at the last minute or do not turn up at all. Cannot get them to agree on a price before commencement of work - it is so stressful not knowing what their rate is or what you will be charged for the work. Completely unprofessional. Feel that they think they are doing me a favor by turning up or that this is secondary job aside from their main job. Feel like I am chasing them all the time - it is exhausting. Have told them I do not want them to call in evening as drilling late in evening is upsetting my neighbors - does not seem to be understood. working with this company is a lot of work and not a service that I expect from WHICH trusted trader.

I used Jessica and her team a few years ago and had no hesitation going back to them again when I needed a decorator again. Jessica gave a comprehensive itemised estimate for a bedroom and hall. As before they were friendly and professional and their preparation was extremely thorough which meant the finish was excellent. I am very pleased with the result. They cleaned and tidied as they went and kept disruption to a minimum which I also appreciated. I would definitely use them again.
