Introduction:
Simon started Simon Taylor Decorators in 2000 after he spent many years working in and around Exeter and East Devon as a sub-contractor.  Simon noticed how few decorators were equipped to work to a high standard, cleanly and efficiently in domestic environments and on new build properties.  Most tradesmen he encountered not only lacked the necessary training and hand skills required to work to a high standard, but also seemed to have little or no attention to detail to the finer points, such as keeping fittings and furnishings clean, ensuring surfaces were sanded down to a smooth finish and generally overseeing the little things that make all the difference in ensuring a high quality finish.

How we are different:
What we do is to equip ourselves with everything we need to execute high-class work on all of the projects we work on.  We aim to be punctual, fast, friendly, efficient and everything you would hope to find in a professional painting and decorating firm.  We pride ourselves on treating customers and their property and possessions how we would like to be treated if we were the customers and we always leave a finished room in a clean and tidy state. 

Other Notable Points:
We offer a full range of service including internal and external decoration, paper-hanging, Duette, Artexing, coving, floor sanding and staining / varnishing and minor building work and alterations.  We are fully insured, have a CSCS Health & Safety certificate and (at the time of writing) are members of the Painting and Decorating Association.  We can provide references (see Testimonials) and can provide many before and after photographs of previous notable projects we have worked on (see Portfolio) which include Wagamama’s Restaurant in the prestigious Princesshay development, Reiss, Connaught House, Caroline Charles (Roman Walk nr Princesshay), and Gemstone (Catherine Street next to the Ship Inn pub), Clyst Vale Community College (canteen) and countless private contracts.

We have low overheads as we have a home office and we are not VAT registered which means we can pass the savings on to the client.  We chose to stay a small company, as we believe you are only as good as your worst employee!  We use a full range of paints and wallpapers including Crown, Dulux, Laura Ashley, Farrow & Ball, Fired Earth to name a few.  We can also cater for the environmentally friendly customer by using water borne paints such as Earthborne which uses natural ingredients and, where possible, sustainable sources.
