We offer a professional, reliable service and leave each job clean and tidy no matter what the size.

That's why so many of our customers use us time and time again, and can recommend us to friends and family knowing they will get the same quality service.

We used 'A Brush Above The Rest' this year to paint the outside of our house and decorate our study. The work was of a very high standard and Ben and his team were reliable and helpful. We will not hesitate to use them again.

Peter Bentley (Wokingham)

'A Brush Above The Rest' painted the exterior of Stokes View Pangbourne Berkshire in the summer of 2009 He did an excellent job within good time limits and price was fair and satisfactory. Good standard of work and his workmen left everything tidy and clear each day, would definitely contract with him again.

Antoinette Westall (Pangbourne) Director, Stokes View Management

As requested I am writing to recommend Ben East (A Brush Above the Rest). We have been pleased to ask Ben to decorate on a number of occasions and have always been impressed with his efficiency, fair prices, high quality of work and excellent cleaning/clearing after he finishes. Ben is a really nice, polite, trustworthy and punctual person who we would also trust to work while we were away from our home. I have no reservations about recommending him to others.

Georgie Sullivan and Adam Barnes (Caversham)

'A Brush Above The Rest' were recommended by friends whose opinion we value - and we were not disappointed. Ben is an honest, reliable professional - right from the outset he was courteous and helpful, giving advice when it was needed. All appointment times were kept unless there were unforseen delays, in which case we were always called and a revised time agreed.
 
The care that went into the project preparation was meticulous and, as a result, the end-product was first-class. The work was not rushed, and the aftercare service was excellent. You may find cheaper but you will not find better! And I did not consider Ben's pricing unreasonable in any way.
 
I can recommend this Firm without hesitation

Mike Start (Pamber Heath)

Ben was recommended to me and was efficient in estimating for internal and external decoration, and giving me advice where needed. He offers a friendly and personal service. I find him reliable, clean and tidy, and very thorough in his work.

Joyce Bamford (Calcot)

'I can thoroughly recommend Ben East and his company 'A Brush above the Rest' for interior decoration. I have always found Ben and his colleagues to be courteous and efficient in all that they have done for me. Ben has provided me with estimates for work promptly and been able to carry out the work on the dates we have booked. His work is excellent and his attention to detail good. Everything is cleared and cleaned at the end of each day and the inevitable disruption with this type of work is kept to a minimum.

Mr and Mrs Hampton (Highmoor)

Ben East, the brains behind 'A Brush Above the Rest' was recommended to us by a neighbour in 2006. Since then he has completed all our inside and outside decorating, some six separate contracts. Ben's approach is both reliable and business like and the qualiity of his workmanship is outstanding. All his team work to the same high standard and I have no hesitation in recommending 'A Brush Above the Rest' to anyone who is looking for high quality work and good value for money.

Heather and Peter Sealby (Caversham)

I have used Ben East for five years and first used him before he started A Brush Above The Rest. I have always been very pleased with the decorating he has carried out for me, his work is to a high standard and he pays great attention to detail. He has a pleasent personality and is trustworthy.

Mr and Mrs Tripp (Caversham)

We have used Ben to do both internal and external work. He always works to a very high standard and is honest, neat and tidy..We are happy to recommend Ben and we would now not use anyone else.

Mr and Mrs Whitmore (Lower Earley)

Dear Ben

Just a note to say how happy we were with the work which you recently did for us.

The standard of the work was high which was what I would expect but I was particularly appreciative of the way in which your staff turned up on time each day, got on with their work and were quiet an self sufficient. This is important to me as I work at home and am often on the phone. They also left the room clean and tidy at the end of each day and ensured that any sign of work was restricted to the room that they were working in and not the whole house. We will certainly be calling you again.

Irene Dallas (Whitchurch hill)

‘We used A Brush Above the Rest last autumn to paint much of the outside of our house and our entire kitchen. Ben and his team did a very thorough and good job, were neat and tidy, and were very pleasant and helpful. We would be happy to use them again.’

Mary Harding (Wokingham)

A Brush Above the Rest was recommended to me by a long standing friend and ex work colleague and I have to say I am so pleased that I followed up his advice.

A Brush Above the Rest have done a few jobs for me painting the outside of the house. I have found the owner Ben East and his colleagues to be very conscientious, professional, tidy and respectful.

As a result of the quality of the work done for me, A Brush Above the Rest have been given work by my neighbours, which was richly deserved a probably the best indicator of the quality of their workmanship.

A most satisfied customer

Martin Cumberbatch (Caversham)

"A professional service from start to finish, we felt very happy to hand the entire organisation over to Ben and to trust in his experience and expertise.

The whole process was very easy - from the initial quotation, to arranging the painting and to its execution. The result is a smart finish which has really made a difference to our house. In addition to this, Ben was polite, helpful and considerate throughout - a decent person to have in our house and we felt very happy to entrust our keys to him during the day.

Thank you, Ben."

Matthew Abbott (Oxford)

We first met Ben 2 years ago when he decorated after an extensive kitchen/ living room redesign. The quality of his work was excellent, so much so that my father in law was heard to compliment him personally- and thar is as rare as an England World Cup win! Ben paints and decorates to the highest professional standard, he is flexible, reliable and also personable.
 
Ben willingly returned months later to attend to some patching up and has now decorated both inside and outside for us. He is shrewdly building his business on the firm foundations of very satisfied and loyal customers. I can recommend him without hesitation and just wish there was a " Ben" for my electrical, plumbing and computing needs!!

Geoff Salt ( Benson)

Ben East and A Brush Above The Rest were recomended to us by a builder we have used over the years. We recently used Ben's Company to repaint soffits and fascia boards. The key points were that he did a good job at a reasonable price, he came when he said he would and that he carried out the work in a clean, tidy, and courteous manner.

Mr and Mrs Bott ( Pangbourne)

I would appreciate it if you could pass onto your team our thanks for the excellent job they did for us.

They were very professional and their work was to a high standard. As you know there were other people working at our house which meant you had to plan and organise yourselves to make best use of your time and on occasions work alongside them.

We were very grateful for your co-operation which ensured all the work was finished in the planned timescale.

I would be happy to recommend you and your team to anyone as you made it all so easy. I found you to be a person to be relied upon in planning and carrying out the work required and nothing was too much trouble for you which I found very reassuring.

I wish you the best for the future and our thanks again.

Mr and Mrs Bolderson ( Southcote)

Ben and the team at 'A Brush Above...' were consummate professionals from quote to completion.The sash window repaint to our Victorian semi has them looking good as new.

The house was treated with respect and the work area was cleaned at the end of each day.

Ben's exceptional communication skills ensured that we were always aware of what was happening and more importantly the team were on site when they said they would be.
Even when I requested some extra work in the middle of the job, Ben just made it happen with no fuss.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Ben and his team and will be looking no further than 'A Brush Above...' if I need any future work doing.

Mr and Mrs Bresslin ( Beenham)

‘We used A Brush Above the Rest last autumn to paint much of the outside of our house and our entire kitchen. Ben and his team did a very thorough and good job, were neat and tidy, and were very pleasant and helpful. We would be happy to use them again.’

Mr and Mrs Harding ( Wokingham)

Ben has done several decorating jobs for me over the past 5 or 6 years. He has done both interior and exterior work. In all cases he has provided a clear detailed estimate and has come when he said he would. He clearly takes pride in doing work of a consistently high standard. Whilst working, he and his team have been mindful of our privacy and convenience and they have left no mess.

I am able to recommed him without reservation.

Mike Kenyon (Tidmarsh)

Just been sitting admiring my very posh newly decorated living room.

Top quality job again - thank you !
 Please pass my thanks along...

Andy Tarpey (Wokingham)

I am more than glad to recommend you and your services. We were very pleased with the job that was made of decorating our kitchen and would be happy to recommend you to anyone.

Chris Steele (Reading)

"I used the services of A Brush Above to paint the interior of a newly built extension to my home. Ben East was very quick with his quote and came across as very professional, which was one of the main reasons for engaging his services. The other reason was that he had access to a team of people and wasn't a "one man band".

I needed Ben and his team to work around a number of other tradesmen who were working on the extension and Ben was very effective at liaising directly with those concerned to get on site at the most convenient times.

The work undertaken was done in a timely fashion and to a high standard and I am very pleased with the overall service provided by A Brush Above. I would certainly recommend their services to others.

Edd Hopper (Reading)

I am pleased to recommend the painters known as 'A Brush above the Rest'.

The work they have just completed is excellent. The cieling was well artexed, completely covering the cracks and the walls and woodwork look great. The painters worked efficiently and used their time well. They cleaned up at the end of each day. So I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Ruth Johnson (Caversham)

Mr and Mrs Broad (Tadley)

A Brush Above the Rest, led by Ben East, are a terrific team! Hard-working, obliging and super-competent, they redecorated our country inn to a high standard, on time and on budget. We will use them again.

'During a tight turn around between tenancies A brush Above the Rest pulled out all the stops and delivered a quality job at short notice despite being stretched on staff and time. I couldn't recommend Ben and his team highly enough.'

Hope Buzza (Cenral Reading)

We used 'A Brush Above The Rest' this year to paint the outside of our house. I found Ben and his colleague to be very helpful and they did a superb job. They went above and beyond their task and left the outside of the house looking superb. We found them to be very reasonably priced and they really did take their time and make sure the house was perfect before completion. Will definitely use them again.

Stephen Lale (Lower Earley)

I was impressed with Ben's work from start to finish. He said what he would do, how much it would cost, prepared the job properly and completed it to a high standard.
I have had comments about the superb quality of the finish of the paintwork. I look forward to using A Brush Above The Rest in the future.
