Gabrielle Gache 2026.02.09

What a clean, polite and friendly team that work well and diligently. Martin and his team, especially the dynamic duo of bros, Drew and Jake have been fabulous. They even washed their cups up!! Above and beyond! I would HIGHLY recommend using Marshels. Family run and with great values as they clearly care and look after their workforce. What an incredible experience!

Thank you so much, Gabrielle. Martin, Drew and Jake will be thrilled to read this, cups and all! It means everything to hear that our values come through in the work and the people who do it.

Jane Barwick 2026.02.01

James did an amzing job decorating our bedroom. He was incredibly thorough with the preparation. Our walls were in an awful state. He expertly hung intricate wallpaper. The finish was flawless. James was professional, reliable, extremely tidy and very respectful. He was a pleasure to have in our home. I was highly satisfied and would highly recommend Marshels but especially James.

Thank you, Jane. We're so pleased James could transform your bedroom, given the condition of the walls. We'll be sure to pass your lovely words on to him.

I embarked upon a new commission: to design another cinema interior for clients of longstanding some twelve years on from my previous cinema project for them, but this time I was the one resourcing the various operations. I wanted to realise what was to be a highly specialised design; that of an authentic but scaled-to-size 1930's art-deco cinema/theatre mini auditorium within a basement room. In addition to other trades' operations for the art-deco light fittings, curtains and fabrics, carpets and bespoke furniture/upholsterers, the core of the whole operation was given over to the one business that I could see would be capable of working with me right the way through. I cannot begin to give enough praise to the artisan levels of skill-sets possessed among the personnel that work for Mr. Jamie Elstow of Marshels. At no stage of the project did anyone question what I was wanting to achieve, and my schematic drawings were not only followed to the letter, but additional ideas were inputted from the contractors that were indicative of their full understanding and appreciation of the look and feel of the design through their positive contribution and enthusiasm. What was created being a benchmark example of the golden age of cinema/theatre architecture that speaks volumes of their combined efforts and attentiveness. As such, I fully intend to be repeating this with any further upcoming projects with this business that delivers. Carl Beckwith - Audio Visual Consultant - Designer.

Thank you for this brilliant review, Carl. A project of this specificity, recreating the atmosphere of a 1930s art-deco home cinema/mini auditorium is exactly the kind of work we live for. It was a privilege to collaborate with someone who had such a clear and considered vision.

We're incredibly proud of what was achieved together, and we look forward to carrying that same dedication into our next project.

We have used Marshels a number of times at work, the team, led by Darren, are fabulous. They are efficient, professional, friendly and helpful. Not to mention, they have a great work ethic, integrity and are honest. Our residents praise them and they do a great job, going out of their way to be accommodating. Steve shares his sweets too 😍 Thank you to Darren, Steve, Mark, Rhys & Sam, we're always pleased to have to here and I'm delighted to recommend you and your work to all.

Nicky Bonnor 2025.06.04

We have used Marshels on numerous occasions over the past three years and have always been impressed with their level of professionalism and competence. Martin and Jake have just completed repainting a number of outside windows and other exterior areas, and we found them to be organised, friendly and unobtrusive throughout. We are delighted with the completed job. Thank you Marshels!

On behalf of Weybrook Park Golf Club, I was very impressed with the service and quality of work from Marshels. Darren and Rhys were very professional and worked hard. The team was very accommodating as they worked around our business operations. Will certainly use them again.

Outstanding Service and Impeccable Workmanship Marshels have just completed decorating the exterior of my home - including the soffits, fascias, woodwork, masonry, and doors - and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The scaffolding team were polite, friendly, and professional, even checking that I could still access my garage once everything was in place. A special thank you to my decorator, Ali, who was absolutely outstanding. Friendly, polite, and an absolute perfectionist, he made sure everything was completed to the highest standard and left the site neat and tidy at the end of each day. He was a real delight to have around. Mike, another skilled member of the team, worked his carpentry magic on some rotten areas of the fascias, and another colleague made some smart adjustments to the guttering to help prevent future water damage. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Everything was done with a smile and a positive attitude - they even went above and beyond by installing a guttering ‘hedgehog’ for me! The whole team were fantastic ambassadors for Marshels. I'm absolutely thrilled with the work and wouldn't hesitate to use them again for future projects. Thank you, Adam, for overseeing the project so efficiently, keeping me updated throughout, and ensuring everything ran smoothly. I’m so very grateful.

Thank you so much Anne for your kind review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear how happy you are with the work and the team. Ali, Mike, and everyone involved will be thrilled to know their efforts made such a positive impact. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and look forward to helping with any future projects!

Hugh McMorris 2025.04.30

The external painting and refurbishment at Green Keys was completed on time and to our full satisfaction. Victor McIvor and Peter Sutton worked steadily and expertly through the job and left our home looking exactly as we had hoped it would. Both men kept closely in touch with us to make sure that our wishes were precisely interpreted. Both are friendly and personable people and it was a pleasure to get to know them.

Thanks so much Andrew! We’re so glad our team could bring those tired walls back to life. It means a lot to know you’d recommend us.

Marion Peters 2025.03.22

We have had a completely positive experience with Marshels. They have rescued our fading home and spruced us up in so many ways. Failing plaster, tired decoration, dodgy electrics and endless window problems. All are now a thing of the past and the house has a new lease of life. Dave the project manager was quiet, efficient and calm at all times. Everyone was respectful and courteous. I would have no hesitation in recommending Marshels. Indeed, I have already done so.

Reply from Marshels - Painting, Decorating & Refurbishment 2025.04.10

Thank you so much for your kind words Marion! We're thrilled to hear that you're happy with the transformation and that Dave and the team made the process smooth for you. It means a lot to know you will and have already(!) recommend us – we're grateful for your support!

Max and Lennon did a great job insulating our daughters bedroom and upgrading the cupboards. They were always helpful and kept us fully informed on progress. The work was done with a minimum of mess and inconvenience and to a very high standard. Thank you.

If I could put 10 stars I would. Marshall’s have been amazing, from the first visit to the end. Everyone involved has been fantastic, bent over backwards to help and the workmanship is second to none. Everyone was super polite and a pleasure to have in our home. No little detail is missed and they have the answer to all your questions and put them into action. I cannot recommend this lovely family run business highly enough. They have changed our cold feeling house into a wonderful cosy home where we are very happy to be. Thank you all very much Beverley and Mark

We recently used Marshels to wallpaper our WC and build the worlds most complicated old wardrobe. The guys that came over did nothing less than fantastic - our WC looks incredible, and we now have a proper sturdy wardrobe in our room. On top of that, both of them were super friendly - I didn’t feel any unease having them in the house. Thank you so much! Will definitely be using them again for the rest of the painting we need doing around the house.

A great local company to work with. Throughout all the stages of the work they were friendly, professional and thorough, and the work was completed to a high standard. I was especially pleased with the after-care service - which in my opinion is what sets a good company apart from the rest - we has a small issue with some of the work and they were responsive and proactive in arranging to fix the problem and it was sorted quickly. I would really recommend Marshels.
