Experience that shows in the finish

More than 30 years of practical decorating experience

Long before Bela Decorators was established, Bela Kecskes had already spent decades painting, decorating and working across a broad range of property trades. His experience includes carpentry, building and practical construction work, giving him a deeper understanding of how surfaces, materials and finishes should be prepared and treated.

That wider knowledge is particularly valuable when a decorating project involves damaged surfaces, bespoke furniture, detailed woodwork, cabinetry or areas that need more than a quick coat of paint. Bela is able to assess what is required before the finishing work begins and advise clients clearly about the most appropriate solution.

Today, Bela combines that experience with professional preparation, modern spray equipment and a team capable of delivering projects efficiently without compromising the finish.

What clients say about Bela and the team

★★★★★

“We highly recommend Bela and his team. They repainted our son’s bedroom, filled in many cracks and sanded and painted some bespoke furniture we had made, some of which was quite tricky to paint. They have done a brilliant job and we are so happy with the finished work. The standard is really high and they couldn’t have done more to help us as they worked while we were away and put the bed back together and curtains up. Bela is efficient, works to a very high standard and is a really nice guy. We will certainly use them again.”

★★★★★

“We were really impressed with Bela and the team for our hallway and bedroom redecoration. It was a huge job and the team worked tirelessly to help us meet our carpet-fitting deadline. They were all lovely chaps to have in the house and we hugely appreciated their flexibility, working around our young family and other trades who were in and out of the house at the time. We are really pleased with the finish and would definitely use Bela and the team again in the future.”

★★★★★

“Bela Decorators did an outstanding job painting two rooms, our hallways, banisters and doors. From start to finish, the service was excellent: professional, friendly and efficient. The quality of their work is top-notch, with a flawless finish and great attention to detail. They were punctual, worked incredibly fast without compromising on precision and left everything clean and tidy. Communication was great throughout, and they went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with the result. Highly recommend to anyone looking for high-quality decorating work.”
