Reputations are not built overnight
In Referenceline's view, this track record is more important than the ratings. Don't be impressed by a few old reviews which may not be representative.  Look for firms with a commitment to asking for feedback - good or bad - from their customers.  We recommend that you look for a track record of ratings and reviews in at least 9 of the last 12 months and that you should not be too concerned about an isolated negative review.  Ask the firm for their side of the story.
 


 
Good Practice
Businesses have a legal responsibility to treat you fairly, but it's often hard to know what questions to ask or what standards to expect.  They are the experts and you should be able to rely on them to help you make decisions.  These questions explain the commitments that this business has made to follow a code of practice and they will help you understand what you have a right to expect.
 
Charges: 100%
Before starting work, did the firm explain the charges including labour, materials, callout & VAT (as appropriate)?
 
Timing: 100%
Before starting work, did the firm explain when the work was expected to start and finish?
 
Payment: 100%
Before starting work, did the firm explain how to pay (e.g. cash, cheque, etc.)?
 
Reliable: 100%
During the work, did the firm keep their promises, explaining and agreeing any changes about the work, costs or timing where necessary?
 
Invoice: 100%
On completion, did the firm give you an invoice showing the cost of materials, labour and VAT?
 
Guarantee: 100%
On completion, did the firm give you a guarantee for a specified amount of time, or usage (where applicable)?
You can see how many customers have said "Yes" in answer to each question, but please don't expect 100% in every case.  Nobody's perfect and some customers may not be completely sure about the answer.  It's more important that you understand these questions and discuss them with the business so that you both agree what good service means for you.  A responsible business will be happy to explain the details to you and it's always better to clarify these points upfront to avoid misunderstandings later on.

Louise and her team have decorated my entire house over the last few years. Recently they did my lounge and bedroom.

"Louise and her team are true professionals. Their work is immaculate and they are so reliable.

I've booked Louise for every decorating job in my house - 7 times now, and will continue to do so. She has a great eye for colour and design too so is great at helping with colour combinations or creative styles. She turns up when she says she will and very reasonable prices.

I personally like having a female decorator. She is just a natural at what she does. Head and shoulders above anybody else in my opinion."

Louise and Jacob from The Complete Girl Friday redecorated my kitchen. They sanded back the ceiling and walls which had old wallpaper paste residue, repaired cracks, then repainted them plus the woodwork.

"Louise visited to give me an idea of the work needed and costs plus timescale for starting the job. She was also great in advising re colours to complement my kitchen units and warm the room slightly.

The whole job was completed to a very high standard with attention to detail throughout. Louise and Jacob are perfectionists which means they take their time and prep everything thoroughly then ensure the finish is beautiful.

They were also lovely people who I knew I could completely trust in my home. They both worked hard while being really friendly and often going the extra mile too!

I couldn’t recommend them highly enough and wish them every success in their next adventures!"

Complete decoration of one bed flat - ceilings , walls, skirtings, windows and doors

"Louise and her team did a fantastic job decorating the flat. Their attention to detail is exemplary. They took the time to properly prep every surface, filling all the holes and sanding everything down perfectly before painting. The final finish is excellent. On top of that, they were clean, tidy, punctual, and maintained great communication throughout the entire project. I would absolutely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a flawless job."
