I can't comment on workmanship (as we didn't get that far), however my experience with Jarraf paint…read morewas appalling. I contacted Simon about restoration of our Minton tile hallway, and initially the response was positive, he gave what seems to be helpful advice, and confirmed he's be able to come take a look but managed our expectations that he was busy with other projects in the immediate future; all ok with us, not a time sensitive job. However, over the following weeks he became non committal about certain aspects, changing dates, and not being particularly straightforward. Eventually, we had a date where he was supposed to come to do a site inspection; the day before I checked in to make sure all was ok for this and didn't get a response. As I'd taken the day off work to facilitate the meeting, I had to just go with it; followed up in the morning with another messaged, begging for confirmation and also asking for clarity as it seemed like he wasn't interested in the work and if that was the case please could he just say so. eventually got a response saying he wasn't coming and that, no he didn't really as he 'couldn't find the motivation for a few days work' and that his 'time is extremely limited'. All totally understandable, but something that could have been said from the off before I wasted my time and annual leave on this company. If you aren't able to offer him weeks of work, or are a residential customer (as opposed to a bigger business) I absolutely wouldn't waste your time; just not interested, counter to what their (very good!) website might lead you to believe. No respect for other people's time, and in my opinion a total lack of professionalism. I found the way my time was water to be rude and hurtful.
