Painted the interior our house in Park Road, Richmond Hill entirely in F&B. Went to the shop a few…read moreyears later for a sample pot to touch up a few small areas to be told by a snooty, tiresome teenager that the colours had been "archived" and thus an impossibility. What chutzpah for a company with a pretence to sensitive "legacy" and all that rot. Avoid at all costs.

I've used Farrow and Ball for the last 38 years and find the colours beautiful and the quality of…read morepaint excellent. I went through a short phase when I couldn't afford F&B paint but found it a huge mistake to try and find a substitute which lasted as well and looked so good. I have bought a listed building this year and am hoping that I can find enough 'breathable' paint in the Farrow and Ball range to continue using it. I'm just on my way to Richmond to collect some for my front door. Just love it :)

Damian did an amazing painting job in my parents house. The decor in the house when they bought it…read morewas really dull and old fashioned. He stripped the wall paper and did it up so well it looked brand new. He was so hard working and dedicated to meet his deadline. I was really impressed. I would definitely recommend this company.

I have no hesitation in recommending him and have already done so to colleagues and friends. I would definately use them again if I have any work to be done.

Hi, I used Paul Brick Pointing service to re-point the front of my house in Fulham. The workmen…read morewere puctual, hard-working, considerate and nice to have around. Paul himself also displays all these characteristics and nothing is too much trouble. The quality of work they have done would appear to be of a very high standard. I would highly recommend the company to anyone who needs pointing work done. Amanda

Call me pumice, pumice wall. I love this store and the paint colors they have for homes. I went…read morethere thinking I was going to spend a fortune but it wasn't, compared to a Luxe paint the difference is probably like £2 or £3. Not a lot when you consider that you are getting premium quality for your money. Think about it how many times can you paint your house in a lifetime, a couple, so you want the best stuff too last a long time. Oh and pumice is the color I bought for my house, and after months I'm still enjoying my color decision.

I would have never have thought there could be a shop dedicated solely to tiles. Floor tiles, wall…read moretiles, bathroom tiles, kitchen tiles and work tops (almost all tiles, as they also do paint and hand woven rugs). Its quite unique. They pride themselves in having their products hand made, on the most part, in the UK and Europe. It is part of their 'green' commitment. They also source their wood and glass (for their mosaic collection) from sustainable forests, 86% of their glass is recycled. The most educational part of my visit to the store was their fully fitted 'library' it had paint samples, tiles, rugs and wood sample that you can also experiment with and mix and match, very hands on. Products are displayed concisely and intelligently in what can only be described as a quality environment. I am contemplating showing them my hand made tile collection, it would be amazing to have my creations alongside theirs.

Avoid the man with the beard who works here, he is rude and sarcastic - his customer service sucks…read more I asked for a chalk finish paint and he sarcastically pretended( in a nasty way) that he didn't know what I was talking about.

I only wish that I had discovered Papers and Paints before I…read more wasted an absolute fortune on sample paints ,in an exhausting search for the exact creams and whites which I knew would work in my flat. Despite its upmarket address Pand P's interior is reassuringly undaunting - the usual jumble of Dulux pots and brushes of any paint store. But ask to see the shop's own paint charts and you will be amazed-there are 24 variations on off-white alone-all deliciously subtle-of a standard to rival Farrow and Ball but more flexible- not only because the base range is wider, but because each colour can be tweaked to reach the precise colour you want, at no extra charge. A sample pot of your individual prescription costs £3.50-and the mix is kept on record by the shop- incredibly,customers return to the store years later to re-order a tried and trusted colour mix. Prices are very reasonable for designer paint and compare favourably with the leading brands.The shop also delivers-a service which I found faultlessly reliable.The paint itself is superb quality- a little Greene base, which is very low toxic and of a texture which even earned the grudging praise of my rather moody decorators.I was quite simply over the moon with the final results. Only two small whinges-they are closed at weekends- which is incovenient to say the least- and the staff can be rather bafflingly technical in their advice."Its only paint not rocket science" I wanted to cry after a particularly didactic lecture.But to them it really is a precise science, and such perfectionism has deservedly earned this tiny shop a coveted Royal Warrant.Look no further for the best paint-its here.

The store carries paint, light fixtures and everything you can possibly need for a build or for renovations to your home. I was helped as soon as I walked into the store by friendly and super knowledgeable staff. I got some obscure light fixtures that I couldn't find at any major popular store here for £2 a pop. I really appreciated my shopping experience at this place and would come back to buy a hammer anytime.

Unfortunately I have now moved to Ipswich and am sad to say "There is no place like Home(craft)" here which is truly my loss!! So all you lucky London DIY peeps should visit them for all your DIY needs - I wish I was still round the corner!! Posted by Sharon Barton - formerly of East Dulwich, London.
