装饰of 1840's detached housePainting & Decorating
One Call Group, managed by Robert Foad, have done the most superb job of the complete renovation of our house, which included major building work to turn an old shop into an amazing gallery space, and then beautifully decorated the whole house. These are true craftsmen, totally professional, and project managed a range of crafts needed to complete the job, carpentry, electrics, the whole works. Most of all, Robert is a great planner, problem solver making sure everything went smoothly. We cannot recommend highly enough. It was a big job over 5 floors and we could not imagine having anyone else work on our house. Phase 3 next year and One Call will be back. They are also the friendliest team to work & with super efficient as well. A gem of a company.

Kitchen/Diner Renovation Needs Decorating!Painting & Decorating
Bob & Colin did a fantastic job on our kitchen renovation. I was quite specific in what I wanted and they really listened and went out of their way to achieve the look I was after. They finished it to a very high standard and they are due back to do our living room soon. To top if off they are lovely chaps to have around.

Paint a 4 bedroom house, incl ceilingsPainting & Decorating
Bob and his team took on a re-decoration job of an empty Victorian house. It started out promising. Communication was very good. Bob sourced plumber, carpenter and electrician. I was not on sight, but even though it took longer than expected (2 months), I was confident they were on top of things. I saw them weekly and was happy with the progress. I made the mistake to pay weekly installments up until the quoted price.
Most of rooms were painted to good standard, but where touching up needed to be done, it was done carelessly and in 1 room with a different colour. Front door was done sloppy. Coving was put up very messily, not a single corner is done properly. They cracked a window, which didn't get fixed.
Even though floors were done beautifully, there were serious problems with other subcontractors which didn't get addressed: ceiling light wiring classified as "dangerous" by different tradesman (electrician didn't wire properly after ceiling roses were put up), several leaks (had water streaming through kitchen ceiling due to bad plumbing job). Bob project managed it all, but hadn't responded to issues as soon as he was paid. Furthermore, keys have never been returned up until now (2 weeks after full payment). Calls, emails and texts are ignored. Possibly could recommend for small jobs, but I'm definitely highly shocked by the unfinished job despite several attempts of contacting. I don't give bad reviews lightly, but so disappointed by the let down after a great start.tanyamuller- 5thDec, 2017Negative review
One Call Group Services's reply:
Do not agree to several of the issues but was not on site towards the end as a visit to St Thomas Hospital was required for three stents to aorta and removal of a kidney. Back to work end of March with my normal quality work
