Simon Gwynne Painter and Decorator

Ranked 8 of 11 in Painters and decorators in Telford

Sole Trader

Telford · Service area: Telford

Our verdict

Our judgement: Simon Gwynne suits you if you want a solo Telford decorator for standard interior or exterior work [3]. The thin public record means references matter more than usual. Before booking, ask for two recent local jobs to view, insurance proof and a written quote.

There is no working website — the linked business site is dead — so only directory listings describe the trade [2][3][4].

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

  • The trader claims over 15 years of experience as a self-employed decorator [3].

  • Two phone numbers and a postal address are published across three directories, so contact routes agree [2][3][4].

  • Free no-obligation quotes are offered [3].

Limitations

  • Only 3 Google reviews exist, so customer evidence stays neutral rather than scored [1].

  • No insurance details are published — scored as insufficient evidence, not as a failing.
