D&D Decorators

Full external repaint of 1930s bungalow (painted pebbledash and brick) on sloping site with basement, external paintwork of detached garage (as house), repaint of all metalwork and plastics (gates, hand rails, garage window, soil and downpipes). Also internal paintwork - fill of crack in finish of master bedroom ceiling and two coats of emulsion thereafter.

Contacted D & D via the Trusted Trader website in February 2024, as we wanted a reputable and experienced company to carry out the work. Lived in Stewarton years ago and knew the company had been in operation for a long time and were well liked. Prompt response to the enquiry and Scott arranged a date to survey the property to provide a quote. He came when he said he would, always a positive thing, and was polite, friendly and approachable. The quote arrived promptly, at a very reasonable cost and it was hoped that - depending on weather - work might commence late spring to into the summer. I was aware that external paintwork requires decent weather or the finish can be poor. 2024 was a pretty bad year for weather! It was then hoped that the firm could chart up with external work in August/September - but the conditions were pretty poor and out had to wait until 2025. Scott was in touch at various times throughout 2024 to let us know how things were progressing.

We were happy to wait until the time was right. Scott contacted us again in February 2025 just to check if we still wanted D & D to carry out the work he had quoted for - making it clear that he was aware that customers might have gone elsewhere. We hadn't any intention of using anyone other than D & D. The plan was to undertake the work in late March or in April (weather permitting). He also did a check of the property to see if there'd been any significant change since February 2024. The quote was unchanged. We were advised that Stewart and Josh (sorry if I called you George!) would arrive at the start of the first full week of April. Jake joined them later in the week. Scott arrived just to check on how things were going.

All the guys were very pleasant to be around, respected our property, kept areas covered, cleaned up before leaving each day, no bad language, and, instead of noisy radios, used their ear pods to listen to their personal choice of music. What's not to like? They also worked diligently on the work, with a lot of prep beforehand to ensure the best possible end result. More than happy with all of them and the work they undertook - they're a real credit to the company.

Scott arrived later to check on the finished work and to check if we were happy with it. Like the guys who undertake the work he is a likeable, personable individual who likes to see a contract handled well. There was no great rush for us to make payment - the invoice arrived almost a fortnight after the work was completed.

Would I use D & D again? Yes, without hesitation. Would I be happy to recommend them to others? Yes indeed.

From the first communication until the job was finished, the whole process was handled on time, cleanly, with a company that knew what they were doing. It was a neat ,on time job. Very pleased with how the work was done.

very professional work , great crew and I would use them again for any further decorating work

Excellent service from start to finish. A professional company with good customer service and skilled staff who work to a high standard. They painted my open plan house and were not phased by the high ceiling and balcony area. I would definitely recommend this company.

Hanging specialist wallpaper Hall and stairs and painting another room.
They came when they said they would and the tradesmen were polite, tidy and trustworthy. They left my home tidy.

D&D Decorators painted ceilings, walls and woodwork in living-room, dining-room and three bedrooms. They arrived on time everyday and did a full days work. They have done a lovely painting job and managed it with as little disruption as possible. No mess. No paint spots anywhere. Lovely guys who did a thorough job. We will be using them again.

D&D Decorators stripped, prepared and wallpapered a large lounge for us, both ceiling and walls. The decorators were a pleasure to work with and they consulted us over many aspects over the 4 days to do the job. They arrived bright and early each day and worked full days.
The wallpapering is of the highest standard and looks great. The room was cleaned each night by the decorators and left immaculate at the end of the job.
I would certainly recommend.

Exterior Decoration - Excellent workmanship.

I have had garden walls painted plus front door and window sills.
They were a reliable firm who arrived when they said they would. Painters were pleasant and professional. The work carried out was to a high standard. I would not hesitate to use them again

Job was completed professionally and was of excellent quality. Property was left very tidy.

We have used D & D Decorators before and were pleased to use them again.

Gordon & Kieran who carried out the work were helpful, considerate, and competent, and easy to have in our home.

Very pleased with the pace and quality of the work and the helpful advice given.

We would use them again, so that says it all.

Redecorating of entire flat. Good advice and suggestions given prior to the work being done. Reliable, tidy and considerate workers.

D & D painted our hall and two flights of stairs. They arrived on time and worked conscientiously every day. At night they left the working area spotless. We are delighted with the finish and will be recommending them to friends and family.

My wife and I were really pleased with the quality of work recently completed by D&D on our hall & lounge full re-decoration. First class workmanship with proper preparation. The workspace was cleaned and vacuumed each night on finishing and furniture was well protected. Can’t praise the overall service highly enough and will certainly use D& D again in the future.

The team from D & D were fantastic, they arrived right on time and worked really hard. They kept me updated with what they were doing and were friendly. They were also helpful when I was looking for a bit of advice.

The wallpapering the did is the best I have seen, even when you try you can’t see a join.

I would have no hesitation in using the company again or recommending them. A first class service from start to finish!

Have used D&D previously. Latest job professionally completed on time. Good prepartion work, tidy throughout, courteous and Tam and Kieran were excellent. Would highly recommend. I am already planning my next job with them

Excellent, professional, quality and competitive service from D&D decorators. I would highly recommend.

I had our downstairs and upstairs hallway, and living room redecorated. This included removing some of the hard to reach wallpaper, preparing the walls and putting up the wallpaper.

The owner attended to provide a quote which he also provided by email. There was no hard selling at any point.

The quality of the work was exceptional. The dedication of Mick to ensure everything was done to a high standard was noteworthy.

The owner, Gary, would stop in most days at different times to ensure the work was being progressed to a high standard - not needed in our case, however that hands-on approach gave me confidence that if Mick had to leave for whatever reason and another employee brought in, then I could be confident Gary would ensure an equally high standard of work.

To sum up, I'd be happy to recommend them to my granny! That's how comfortable I am with the quality of the work and professionalism of their approach.

Gary and his team carried out external decoration to our house and garage.
First class service from start to finish.
I would recommend D&D for decoration work, without hesitation.

The painter working on our project was Gordon. He turned up perfectly on time each morning and worked tirelessly until he left each day. The standard of work was excellent and all tidied up when the job was finished. Will use D&D decorators again and have no hesitation recommending.
