RICHARD DEAN Painting and Decorating

Ranked 8 of 11 in Painters and decorators in Telford

Sole Trader

Telford · Service area: Telford

Our verdict

Our judgement: Richard Dean suits you if you want to deal directly with a local decorator and you are comfortable checking details by phone [1]. Reviews are positive but few, and everything beyond them needs your own questions. Before booking, ask for recent local examples, insurance proof and a written itemised quote.

Industry qualifications

Can't be sourced. We looked at the issuing registers, the business's own website and platforms such as Checkatrade and Which? Trusted Traders and found no scheme membership or registration to record.

Ratings on other sites

Recorded with source, scale, count and the date read. These are not our own ratings.

Strengths

  • You get 5.0 from 12 Google reviews, backed by 5.0 from 7 directory votes, both seen 3 September 2026 [1][2].

  • Three independent directories agree on the name and Overdale address, so identity is consistent [2][3][4].

Limitations

  • There is no website, so services, insurance, pricing and trading history are unpublished — each scored as insufficient evidence.
