CLIENTS

  • "We were recommended to consider using Robin Porch several years ago for exterior painting and decorating work. This we did and were very pleased with the workmanship and enjoyed the team of workers he provided. More recently, we needed both renovation and painting/decorating inside. Robin and his family-run business again provided good workmanship, kept regular communication with ourselves and the other trades required. Living in a very old property, they were able to provide bespoke sensitive solutions to our unconventional concerns. 'Living on the job' for us was made as painless as they could and this, too, was really appreciated. Nothing was ever too much for them. It was lovely to see and observe people in their trade enjoy their work as much as they all did and we feel their actual work reflected that."
    — PETER & TAMI ELLIS, Taunton (2017)
  • “From the first phone call with a dim idea of how we wanted to add ensuites to the bedrooms to the final beautiful rooms we now have, Robin Porch and his team were exceptional. Full of ideas and skills to bring the transformation to reality. This was an experience we thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you.”
    — SUSAN SCANTLEBURY (2017)
  • We would thoroughly recommend Porch and Sons and after working with them for many years, have become accustomed to always receiving an exceptionally high standard of workmanship. The team is easy to deal with, being personable and conscientious. They have always been flexible in working with us, so there is minimal disruption to the daily running of our business. Robin is very approachable to discuss the job in hand, but also has a keen eye for what is required and a wealth of knowledge and experience mean he is full of sensible and artistic ideas and suggestions. No job is ever too big. Our Grade II listed building facade required repairs prior to decoration and Robin did his homework, sourcing appropriate traditional materials at the best price, for restoration of the architectural mouldings. He spent time liaising with the listed buildings consent department for us, resulting in a smoothly run project and an outstanding, sympathetic renovation. Whatever the job, attention to detail is faultless, with good preparation before and everything left clean and tidy after. We have always been totally satisfied and wouldn’t choose any other company.
    — ST. PAUL'S DENTAL PRACTICE, Newton Abbot (2017)
  • Thanks to Robin and his team. They did a cracking job on our East Devon beat office. Turned up when expected and did all that was agreed and more. I would recommend them to anyone, and will certainly be using them for more work for the Forestry Commission in future.
    — MICHAEL HARRISON, Forestry Commission (2017)
