Malcolm Bell Decorators Ltd

Malcolm‘s team refurbished the common stairs in our building in Jan 2020 and I would highly recommend them.
From a communication aspect, Malcolm was very patient during the time it took from the quote to the start date (5 months) given that we had to coordinate between all 6 flats in the building and the Council to agree and arrange the work.
During the refurbishment Malcolm kept in touch regularly about questions and progress updates. He also checked the progress several times to keep close to the work.
With regards to the work itself, his team worked efficiently and was very good, polite and considerate; this was especially appreciated as we had a bereavement as well as a birth in the building during the work. They always cleaned up every night which reduced the impact on the neighbours.
Most of all, the result is fantastic and with the superb customer service I would not hesitate to hire them again in the future. Thanks a lot!

Another excellent job done by the team from Malcolm Bell. We had a number of rooms decorated. I often think how hard is it to paint a wall, but when it is done by professionals such as Malcolm Bell it just looks a different class, than had I tried to do it myself. The job included painting ceilings, walls, woodwork, papering and addition of coving to several rooms. The job is excellent and definitely a standard I could never achieve. The team are all excellent to deal with and respectful of your home and what is important for you. Best of all they take care of your home and leave it as they found it. Highly recommend, whilst not the cheapest, I firmly believe that it is worth paying just a little bit more to know the outcome will be long lasting. I can't imagine we will need to redecorate for a very long time. Quality of products recommended and supplied were first class and plenty of options were made available to me. Very grateful for an excellent job.

I had my bathroom retiled, relined and painted.
Both Ian the tiler and Dale the painter were excellent workers, they were very thorough and paid great attention to detail, taking pride in their work.
They communicated well, checking in with me when questions cropped up during the job and they tidied up after themselves every day.
I felt comfortable and relaxed with them in my home.

Malcom the boss was very pleasant, efficient and communicated well with his employees.

I would recommend this company, they may not be the cheapest but are worth every penny, will definitely use again.

Malcolm’s company were involved in the full decoration of a Victorian flat we were refurbishing in Stockbridge.
I had used Malcolm before & knew the quality of his work & his quote was extremely competitive.
Malcolm does proper decorating work in that the job is fully assessed & walls, skirtings , facings etc fully prepared before actual decorating starts. The nature of the job where planning permission was required & numerous trades were coming & going, meant a fair degree of flexibility on his part.
Malcolm & all his team are very professional & considerate of the customer.
I strongly recommend Malcolm .

Malcolm and his team (on-site led by Lee, Malcolm's son) did such a fantastic job with the original renovation work, I naturally called for their help when I needed a small touch up decorating job after other trades' repair work completed. Quotation was done promptly and Malcolm put Aaron on the job for continuity of care since Aaron was part of the original team worked on my flat. CommunicatIon, workmanship, and attention to details were second to none. Malcolm and his team really take pride in their work and the professional standards they provided were excellent regardless whether it is a big job like whole flat decorating or a small touch up job! I will definitely continue to recommend them to my friends and family.

Malcolm and his team helped turning a flat into my home. Malcolm and his team are absolutely fantastic from the first phone call to arrange an appointment for a quote through the actual work to delivering the renovated flat. The whole team was very reliable, with excellent communication throughout, and their workmanship is second to none. When any unexpected issues arise, Malcolm communicated them to me efficiently and was able to call in other trades to rectify the issues without delay. I will definitely call Malcolm and his team for future projects and have already recommended them to my family and friends.

Malcolm and his team decorated two rooms and built wardrobes, removed and reconnected radiators. Their work is of a really high standard, they are tidy, clean, polite and work really hard. They turn up in time and finish when they say, which made it really easy for me to plan other things like deliveries of wardrobes and carpet fitting.

Malcolm also communicates all the time about what’s happening and when.

A superb team, incredibly professional and brilliantly managed. I’m really grateful and will be using Malcolm again later this year and have no hesitation in recommending his business to anyone!

The outside of our house was painted - a mix of surfaces including pipes, gutters, doors, iron gates, timber cladding and rendered panels - as well as a clean -up of plastic fascia panels. Overall an excellent job. The painter, Craig, was methodical and thorough and did the work without mess or any inconvenience to us. The quality of the work was very high.

Got the woodwork in the bay window of our living room painted as well as a smaller window area in a bedroom. Malcolm was prompt in replying to our query, friendly in person and gave a thorough quote for the work. He was great at communicating throughout, and the painter doing the job was always polite and on time. Very happy with the finished product and would use their services again.

Malcolm and his team wallpapered one of my walls for me - I'd bought wallpaper which was a map and I was too nervous to put it up myself.

They did a great job of preparing the newly plastered wall to ensure it was totally smooth, then putting up the wallpaper the following day.

They were friendly, efficient and very tidy and did a great job of putting up the paper. I absolutely love it.

Malcolm and his team were fabulous. This was the re decoration of a whole house. We had daily updates and a very personal approach from Malcolm. He walked us through every stage and even did extra work beyond the original brief. The painter who worked on each room was great and always tidied up. Our house was transformed into exactly what we wanted.

This is the third time that I have used this company, and once again they have done a fantastic job, what was particularly helpful for me was that Malcolm Bell organised for the work to be carried out while I was on holiday, meaning that I came back home to find everything we had discussed done and dusted. If you’re looking for a professional friendly company,look no further.

This is the second time we have used Malcolm Bell Decorators and we could not be happier with the results.The first time was a bedroom and we have just had our hall, stairs and landing decorated and hope to use them again in the future.Their attention to detail is impressive and they will take whatever time is required to get the best possible finish.I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone interested in their services.

Malcolm's very professional and tidy team of decorators repapered our large hall ceiling as well as renewing eggshell on hall woodwork. The team were prompt and hard working and the work was carried out to an excellent quality. Malcolm kept a peronal overview of the work's progress which was much appreciated. We would be more than happy to recommend their work to others.

Malcolm and his team have done an utterly brilliant job in redecorating our 4 bed flat. They have been thoughtful, clean and tidy, and have excellent attention to detail. The service and communication has been great at all times. They have been incredibly helpful in quickly and expertly resolving little issues that cropped up, and have been really flexible throughout. I couldn't recommend Malcolm enough for anyone looking for decorating work, and will definitely be calling him if we ever need work done in the future. Thank you Malcolm and team!

Malcolm came up trumps at short notice when I was let down by another firm. The team were excellent and did a brilliant job of painting and papering. They were professional, friendly and very tidy. Will definitely use them again.

As a return customer of Malcolm Bell and his team,we once again found them to be reliable,unobtrusive,polite and friendly.The walls were meticulously prepared before papering. There was minimal mess and when the room was completed it was the best finish we have seen from any previous decorators. We will be happy to use them again.

Second time using Malcolm and his team.This time to hand paint kitchen units, and what a result!

This was to convert a very drab dark green unit kitchen, for elderly parents. Replacing kitchen, or doors was out of the question, and budget. Asked Malcolm if painting units was something he had experience of? I was relieved when he said yes! Not only units were painted, but the tiles also, bringing the kitchen back up to date with a more modern feel.

The results are incredible! The smile on my parents face is enough. The transformation for drab to clean and bright outstanding! I only wish I had taken before pictures.

Malcolm and his team are my go to decorators now. The next job is already lined up. So pleased to have found such a fantastic company, one that genuinely cares about their work.

Very happy with the results. Professional attitude and service too. Work completed on time and as requested. Have already recommended them to others.

I have no hesitation in absolutely recommending Malcolm and the team. They have just completed the exterior painting of our block of flats and just prior to Christmas, they put up insulating wall paper and decorated the interior of our flat. Both jobs have been done to an exceptionally high standard and we are more than happy with the results.
Malcolm doesn't hesitate to take into account all requests and communication is maintained through all stages of the work.

They are professional, hard working, tidy and very, very thorough.
