Can’t thank SC Maintenance enough for the great job they done on my fence! Professional and easy to deal with would definitely recommend to anyone requiring any maintenance.

Great job, had a spur put in to save the whole fence coming down. Short notice, good value and nice solid tidy job. Thanks William

Absolutely would definitely use SC maintenance again and have already inquired about a second job . Couldn’t thank William enough for coming out in the pouring rain to complete the job . Thank you so much and such a lovely gentleman with a lot of knowledge. Would highly recommend. .

RRussell Croutear

Contacted SC Maintenance for fence repairs. William was friendly and communicated well throughout. The work was scheduled quickly, and I’m very happy with the results. Would recommend.

BB

Very fast efficient communication and service. Replaced two rotten timber fence posts with new concrete ones to stop a fence from falling down. Texted to say they were on their way, arrived on time, cleared up afterwards and the cost was very reasonable. I will use them again and recommend them to others.

DDominic Collicott

SSabir Malik

William did a fantastic job fixing our backyard fence, which was in poor condition. Even though the work wasn’t completed on the first day, he came back promptly and finished it exactly as required. I would gladly hire him again.

JJames Cassar

Excellent service - fast, reliable and reasonably priced. Couldn't be happier.

AAmanda Cathcart

We have had a full 12 metre fence, posts and a new custom fit gate replaced by SC Maintenance. William's speed of communication was great, keeping me informed each step of the way. The work was scheduled within a two week period from the initial enquiry. A huge shout out to Dustin, who completed the work ahead of expectation. He was polite, tidy, efficient and carried out the job to a superb quality. We are thrilled with the job and would thoroughly recommend the team. Will definitely use them again.

Ggeorgia Graham

Efficient, great communication, quick but quality repair. Thank you so much!

DDaryl Kellett

"I recently used SCM for some repairs around the house, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The team were professional, punctual, and finished the job in record time. They even took the time to explain the process and cleaned up the entire work area before leaving. Their pricing was fair and transparent. I highly recommend them for any maintenance needs!

MMelissa Haddock

He did an amazing job on our lawn!

AAdam C

Excellent work carried out by SC MAINTENANCE in my garden this week !
And in particular, first class , friendly service by Jonathan, for preparing and installing my new garden gate, and installing concrete spur/ post to my fence to straighten it out.
I do, on this particular occasion knock off one star, purely as nobody turned up to start work on the original date planned , due to staff issues.
This wouldn't normally have been a problem, but would have liked to have been notified that morning , rather than be sat around waiting to find nobody would show up.
Apart from that one gripe, can I recommend Williams team???
ABSOLUTELY! 👍
The work was complete today, and communication was there when needed.

CCarl Green

Very happy with the work William carried out on the replacement of my garden gate, it looks great thank you.

HHeather Stoyles

The team came to replace a fence for my mother, to remove the old one and take it away. I couldn’t be there that day and mum is 87 so I was keen to be contacted if need be. I need not have worried mum reported a respectful team of men who did an excellent job from start to finish. I was asked by phone at points of the work if I wanted this done or the fence in a particular place. Very professional job and ‘lovely people ‘ mum said. She is delighted with the job and the way in which it was done. Thank you so much you come highly recommended.

LLaura Federanko

William and his guys have done an amazing job & I am very pleased with the finished result. Have already asked for further quotes for other jobs . Definitely recommend

JJanet Arrowmsmith

Would thoroughly recommend Will and team.
Put a new fence up in my back garden .
Very happy. Thank you

MMandy Clifford

This is the second time that I have used Will, this time for the outside of my pond and to relay the slabs. They had just started when they came upon a problem meaning they couldn't do what was originally planned. However, Will came up with a solution, got more materials and by the end of the day, I had a great surround on my pond & slabs that didn't move.
I am so pleased with it, and if anything it looks better than what was originally there.
If you want reliable, polite and reasonable prices then I would highly recommend Will.

About our painting & decorating service

A paint job only looks as good as the preparation underneath it. We take the time to fill, sand, caulk and prime before any colour goes on, so the finish is even and lasts. We decorate single rooms, hallways and stairwells, woodwork and exterior walls and joinery, and we keep the house tidy while we're there.

Exterior work depends on the weather. Paint needs dry conditions to cure properly.

What's included

  • Interior walls and ceilings
  • Woodwork, doors and skirting
  • Exterior painting
  • Preparation, filling and priming

Common painting & decorating jobs we're asked about

Tired rooms before a sale or let

A fresh, neutral finish throughout, with scuffs, marks and old repairs dealt with first.

Hallways, stairs and landings

High walls and awkward stairwells that are hard to reach safely without the right access equipment.

Woodwork, doors and skirting

Sanding back, filling and repainting doors, frames, skirting and spindles.

Exterior walls and joinery

Masonry paint, fascias, windowsills and doors, done in dry weather so the paint cures properly.

Frequently asked questions

Do you supply the paint?

We can, or we can use paint you've chosen. Just let us know when you ask for a quote.

Do you move furniture?

We'll work around furniture and protect floors and belongings with dust sheets.

Can you decorate a whole house?

Yes. Whole-house decorating is quoted room by room, so you can see what's involved and prioritise if you need to.

Can you paint outside in winter?

Only in suitable weather. Masonry and exterior paints need dry conditions and reasonable temperatures to cure, so exterior work is usually planned for drier months.
