Gloucestershire Decorator
What our clients say

We take great pride in our work and we are always rewarded with kind words sent to us on completion.

Below are just some of the letters of thanks we have received.


I wanted to personally thank you for the very professional manner in which you have just completed painting and decorating the dining room in our bungalow.

My wife & I were really impressed with your attention to detail, shown by the meticulous way you prepared the walls and woodwork ready for painting. This was not an easy task and the walls had a number of cracks within the plaster work, due to shrinkage. The dining room has been transformed, and the walls, ceiling and woodwork now look in pristine condition.

I will be more than happy to recommend your services to any friends, family and business contacts who require the skills of a really excellent painter and decorator. You obviously take pride in your work and you also offer an excellent service at very competitive prices.

Yours sincerely,
Dave


Dear Vik,

I feel compelled to give you this written testimonial because of the outstanding quality and professionalism of your work. From the initial, very comprehensive quotation, right through to the finished decoration was handled wonderfully.

It is rare to find anyone with your level of dedication and enthusiasm, well done!

We have no problem in recommending you to anyone and please feel free to use this letter and give my name as a satisfied customer to any potential clients you may have.

Once again, thank you.

Yours faithfully
Steven


As a partner in a busy graphic design agency it is important for us to use quality suppliers.

Vik Rowlands was employed by us to enhance the outside of our building and we are delighted with the results. Vik and her team of helpers were efficient and thorough at all stages of the work. Unlike many tradesman today Vik was prompt, meticulous and true to quote – we would not hesitate to recommend Vik to anyone who is seeking a highly professional painter and decorator.

Regards,
Rachel


Dear Vik,

We would just like to write and tell you how pleased we were with the decorating you carried out in our bedroom recently.

As you were aware, we were away on holiday and left you with the keys to carry out the decorating whilst away. It was a delight to return and find the room finished to our specification, and left clean and tidy. The workmanship was of the highest standard and finish second to none.

We will definitely be in touch as son as we are ready to have the next room decorated.

Best wishes,
Mr & Mrs C


In the last quarter of 2008 in became clear to us that we needed a much improved client meeting room and company boardroom. We also wanted a space that was not only professional but would also create a “wow” factor in which clients would feel very comfortable in a room finished to a very high standard. Our initial thoughts were to move office entirely and after a search in Cheltenham we were struggling to find anything that really seemed suitable. As luck would have it the office space on the floor immediately below became available about the same time and we decided that rather than move to a new office we would stay in the same premises and take on the rooms down stairs.

When we took the offices on we knew they would need some work as there had been a flood and one of the walls and the ceilings were quite badly affected and had only been poorly patched over. This certainly would not create the image we were looking for. Vik came in and quoted to do the job and with some re-juggling of her diary was also able to get started on the work very quickly. It did however become clear early on that the room was in a worse condition than we thought and would need quite a lot of work doing to get it up to standard we have envisioned.

Despite what has been a longer and much more difficult job than anyone anticipated Vik has finished the work to an incredibly high standard definitely creating the “wow” factor we were looking for. I know it took a lot of blood sweat and tears as well as much singing, shouting and working until silly times at night to get there! We really appreciate the dedication she demonstrated to ensure the job was finished as soon as possible and to say it again the quality of the finish is outstanding.

We have already been able to welcome clients into our new space and are very proud to do so. The room is a pleasure to work and do business in and will contribute much to the future of our company and this is in no small amount thanks to Vik and also Jamie who works for her. I would absolutely recommend Vik for any decoration and renovation work you may have, it has been a pleasure.

Yours faithfully,
Adam


As a busy business owner and property developer I was very keen to chose the right person to undertake the important task of repainting the outside of my own home, which I regret had become long overdue.

The ‘summer’ of 2007 was not the best period to undertake the job. Also, because I had allowed the work to be delayed for several years we came across some additional work that had to be done to ensure that our home was watertight.

I was delighted with the way that you handled this; keeping me fully informed of the work that needed to be done, liaising with other contractors to ensure it was done in a cost effective and timely manner and most importantly ensuring that you and your team were flexible enough to get your work done when the weather and other contractors allowed.

I was particularly impressed with the workmanship, politeness and professionalism which your apprentice displayed and he is a credit to your firm and to your own management style.

I would have no hesitation in recommending you to third parties, other that I would want to use again in the future to undertake further decorating work for me and I know that you have a very full order book, but of course that is a result of the quality of your work.

Yours sincerely,
Andy


Dear Vik,

As I am sure you realise, my health insurance business relies upon a principle of meeting the expectations of my clients; I am pleased to say that my experience of conducting business with your painting and decorating services continues to show that you also abide by that principle!

You recently completed some work on the front of my property and I was really impressed by the effort and professionalism with which you undertook the task, particularly the preparation!

I will happily recommend your company and would encourage others to use your services – as you say, you are ‘bloody good’!

Yours sincerely,
Christopher


Dear Vik,

We both want to express our gratitude to you for your excellent work in decorating our home, both inside & out.

Your unfailing courtesy, great attention to the smallest details, and your effective organisation have made it a pleasure to do business with you.

Please feel free to use this letter as a testimonial to your outstanding workmanship.

Yours sincerely,
Robert & Marita

 


 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Vik Rowlands for all her care and attention shown during the refurbishment and decoration of our kitchen.

The previous decorators had merely patched things to make it look presentable. This is where Vik is very different to all the decorators I have known and with Vik – excellence comes as standard.

Firstly, the options and finishes were clearly explained to us so that we could make an informed choice of how best to transform our kitchen.

Secondly, Vik set about preparing all the surfaces in meticulous fashion which took a great deal of time and effort. The end result speaks for itself – absolutely fantastic! She has transformed the kitchen and breakfast room area in to a fabulous living space and one which we’re delighted with. Several of or friends have commented on the quality of her work already.

Quite simply, he does what it says on the tin i.e.

“I’m Vik Rowlands and I’m bloody good at what I do!” We now have the proof of her skill and expertise.

I whole heartedly recommend Vik Rowlands to other BNI members and their visiting guests who are considering transforming their living and office space.

Thanks once again.

Kind Regards,
Dave


I am writing to let you know how delighted we all are with the revitalised lounge following your excellent work.
As a busy property developer I often hear people say that anyone can slap on a bit of paint. Having seen some people’s efforts I am very happy to disagree with that viewpoint. I recently viewed a £100,000 extension where the owners decided to save some cost and do the decorating themselves – sadly they have seriously diminished the value of their extension by doing so.

Being an older property and a very large room in the centre of our home we were apprehensive about the scale of the work, and whilst there were problems as the work progressed – blown plaster and thin paint – you kept us fully informed all along the way – even working extra hours so we could temporarily use the room one weekend for our daughter’s birthday.

You and Jamie are a real credit and we would not hesitate to recommend your services to other people and will certainly continue to retain you as our preferred supplier. We have had so many positive comments from friends and family about the room – our favourites being “it’s just like having a new house” and “we can see why you want to stay here now”!

Thank you,
Andy and Julia
