They painted all my kitchen cupboards. The firm were very professional. The work carried out was excellent and the decorator was very clean and tidied up after he finished every day. I would use them again and recommend them to friends.

Malcolm decorated two rooms in my rental property for me - the newly renovated kitchen and the living room, including restoring an alcove/press and creating a smooth wall where there was a blocked up fireplace. He was very good to work with, regularly calling me with updates and checking with me when any queries arose. Despite a number of challenges during the project, he was always positive and helped me to find solutions so that we could get it completed. I would definitely recommend Malcolm.

I can’t thank Liam enough, he had his work cut out for him. Patching up and fixing the dodgy workmanship that went before him. Hard working, trustworthy and reliable. The finished job is great!!

I would highly recommend Malcolm Bell Decorators to anyone looking to redecorate their home. Communication from Malcolm from the point of requesting a quote to post-completion of the work was excellent. The high standard of work completed is the result of a skilled, reliable and trust-worthy team. Without a doubt, a five star offer!

We have been very impressed by Malcolm's team. We got 3 bedrooms, a study, and a hallway across 3 levels painted. They were extremely thorough and careful with all the prep and have done a very neat job of the painting.
Communication from Malcolm and from his team was excellent. The painters headed by Lee were lovely people to have in our house - maybe not the first thing you look for in a painter but it made the whole process stress-free and relaxed. They were helpful, friendly, respectful and tidy.
I would highly recommend them and I plan to get them back when we do up the living room!

Malcolm’s team decorated our dining room and living room. They have done a fantastic job - the rooms are beautifully done and they guys were polite and tidy at all times. I would not hesitate to use them again.

Review Comments
Ground floor Victorian house, front exterior paintwork: 3 window frames (large bay sash windows), double storm doors and surround, canopy over front door. Existing paint was stripped, primed and painted (2 coats). Front entrance steps (stone): power washed to remove loose, flaking paint then epoxy sprinkled with aggregate (non slip) applied and finished with 2nd coat epoxy sealer.
Quote supplied within 48hrs of initial request, work started promptly within the week and was completed on schedule. Excellent communication direct from Malcolm Bell throughout; always informed in advance of planned stages of work and of tradesmen's arrival dates. Painters always arrived on time and were efficient, professional, tidy, helpful and polite. All preparation, painting and work on steps was carried out to a high standard, using good quality and appropriate paint and materials. The original paintwork was in poor condition (old, flaking layers of gloss) and the thorough preparation carried out enabled the excellent finish achieved – crisp, smart and professional. Would use again for future work; happy to recommend.

High quality work by tidy and reliable tradesmen. A tricky stairwell and panelled hallway done with attention to detail.

I would highly recommend Malcolm and the team and I will definitely be using them again in the future. Having never used a decorating service before I was unsure as to what to expect. However due to the attention to detail given by the team and the high standard of the finish I am so happy I decided to go with Malcolm.

Thank you again guys

Malcolm and the team decorated my entire property from top to bottom. As it is a very old converted steading remedial works were required to plaster. Walls needed to be be filled, smoothed over and existing papers removed and re-lined. The finish is outstanding. Better than I could have hoped for given the original condition and what’s more I added extra tasks through out the job and nothing was a problem.

I’m glad I followed Malcolm’s advice and did the whole property as I originally only requested a couple of rooms. The overall feel is fresh and light and has turned the cottage into a lovely rental property from one that was quite run down.

Having not used a decorator before I can now see the value in the work. The lengthy prep work done by the team has given it a class finish. Thank you to Malcolm, lee and the team. I am looking forward to the day my residential home needs doing!

Malcolm and his team painted the outside of the property.
They were friendly, efficient, flexible in approach, punctual and hard working. Malcolm kept us informed at all times, regularly checking if we were happy with the work. They use eco-friendly materials and it looks great! Very pleased with all aspects of the job.

We had our walls and bedroom radiator painted (including panels), marble island re-sealed, backsplash re-tiled, radiator replaced and new valves placed. We had an excellent experience. Malcolm is easily contactable and well organized. All jobs were done to a high standard and we are thrilled with the end result. Also, every tradesman that came to our home was professional and kind. I couldn't rate more highly on quality of service and reliability. I have and will continue to recommend to our friends.

Malcolm and his team completed a massive overhaul of our entire flat. We bought the house and had to have treatment for damp so between the damp work and the previous owners not having decorated in (very) many years, and some dodgy decorating in the past, it needed a lot of work.
Malcolm supplied a friendly and professional team, and as the flat was empty, some days there were up to 10 people there to get the job done, which was brilliant for us as we were on a deadline to move in.
Malcolm checked in every day, updating me on progress and checking I was comfortable and understood what had been achieved each day. Malcolm even helped me think about colours and helped me with guidance about other aspects of decorating. The flat was also left tidy every day and the team cleaned up at the end of the job.
I would highly recommend Malcolm and his team; so professional, enthusiastic and at all times I felt like he truly cared about ensuring we got the result we wanted. I use trusted trader a lot and am delighted to be able to confirm Malcolm was a brilliant tradesman. Thanks for everything Malcolm!!

Was moving house early in the new year and so required the work to be done over the Christmas period. Malcolm's team were impressively hard-working.
Malcolm is very knowledgeable and happy to provide his opinion and advice.
He probably wont be the cheapest quote out there, but he knows his stuff, is trustworthy and reliable, and uses premium eco-friendly products. Worth it for the peace of mind.

Malcolm wallpapered a feature wall in a bedroom for us. While I'm sure it was a small job for him, I was extremely impressed by his quick service in quoting the job and then doing the work. The quality of work was excellent and the friendly and professional service was really appreciated. I'd highly recommend Malcolm to anyone looking for a top quality company for decorating work.

Malcolm sorted out a ceiling and wall after water damage. Saved the lathe and plaster, secured loose cornice and left a professional finish. Also managed this at short notice and accommodated a change to preferred start date. Couldn't have asked for better and I would not hesitate to use again.
