Inside Out Decorating

"Dermot is professional, thorough, reliable and friendly. Highly recommended for both exterior and interior paintwork."

"Thoroughly recommended. Superb job. I could not find anything to complain about. In future Dermot will be my first choice every time. Absolutely no problems whatsoever. Perfection."

"I’m pleased to say Dermot has done excellent work for me. Not only did he prepare thoroughly and paint but spent time replacing and repairing a lot of the old wood and finishing all to a high standard. I will be very happy to use his firm in the future and will definitely recommend him to others."

"Commissioning Dermot Delaney to decorate was an excellent choice. Dermot's rates are reasonable and he takes enormous pride in his work. He has transformed rough and ready plasterwork into beautiful walls. I took his advice about colour collections which was incredibly useful. Inside Out Decorating pays great attention to detail and I am absolutely delighted with the result."

"External job in Gosforth August 2024. Sash windows/door frames/doors/outside masonry paint. Hired on a good conversation at the outset with Dermot and having looked at photos of previous work that seemed ok. Results were Awful. Botched filling. Masking a mess and uneven throughout job. Paint flaking off door. Paint flaking off window frames. Paint runs everywhere. Cracks everywhere. A window painted shut. Painting spilled over into a surface not in scope for painting. I’ve had a few people check this work and submitted it to a couple of traditional building forums online for appraisal (as admittedly I’m no painting expert). The comments I received were even harsher than my own. Tardy in responding when I flagged issues and has now taken the huff and refused to even come back and look at the mess he’s made. I’m out of pocket circa £1400 and considering options. Avoid like the plague unless you want a poor job and a bucket load of hassle."
