He gained my trust early on and maintains it.Chelston Decorators provide a range of services: over time, they have undertaken the painting, decorating & other finishing works to a variety of extension & refurbishment projects at my home.I have always been very satisfied with the end to end management service in the business that backs up the skilled tradesmen to deliver the high quality in the physical workmanship - both influence the overall customer experience.They invest time to understand customers - this helps provide mutual expectations and best service from the outset. My work can require periods of time away, sometimes at short notice.This routine was understood by Steve Owens -and we agreed ways to manage it - if I had to make changes or need time flexibility these were discussed openly and managed pragmatically with fairness.Steve Owens understands the importance of customer confidence and comfort with individuals that might be working in their private homes. In my situation work progress would benefit if it could continue during times I might be away.I commend their attention to detail here: the consistency and continuity of the individual tradesmen was excellent - as was the politeness, humour and cleanliness of the individuals who did the work.The quality of the finished product was first rate throughout.It is a pleasure to endorse & recommend this business.Peter Young

I first saw their work at one of my clients homes, the guys working on her house were extremely polite & the quality of their work was outstanding so when I had a new kitchen fitted & improvements made to the main bedroom I asked … More them to do both rooms. The bedroom had a feature wallpaper which they had a paint made to match. Everything was left pristine when the job was finished. Even though the job took a bit longer than planned as previous owners had glued several layers of chip paper on the ceiling they kept to the original price I was quoted. I was so happy with the results I immediately booked them to do the rest of my house a month later. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting decorating done.

The first thing that impressed me about Chelston Decorators was that they fitted in with my tight timescale. The total redecoration of my apartment was done just one week after I had first contacted them and it was carried out with perfect … More quality. They did the work whilst I was away on holiday and I had no concerns leaving them in my property unattended. Everything was left clean and tidy. The cost was very good value too.

Chelston are of a size that they have all the various tradesmen available as and when you need them. Steve Owens projects the whole project effectively throughout. They have just completed a superb renovation on our large Georgian Flat in Torquay on schedule.

Mr Uphill, The Palace Hotel, Torquay. – 16th Aug 2012

Mr uphill says of our work in this hotel:- ” the fact that chelston decorators have, year on year, returned to work in our hotel is no co-incidence but a testimony to their competitiveness, skill and ability to meet completion deadlines. they are a friendly, hard working crew who go the extra mile to ensure that they interface well with our staff and management. re-decorations to our hotel need a talented decorating team due to the intricacies of the many decorative ceiling coves and wallpapered areas. on the other hand they have taken on our external decorations programme which, due to the size and complexity of our hotel exterior has often daunted other contractors, in a forthright manner. chelston decorators have not let us down and i would recommend them without question. “
