Who we are and what we do

Welcome to Marshels – your local painters and decorators in Surrey

With a wealth of expertise, our team has successfully worked on numerous projects across Surrey and surrounding counties. Our goal is to deliver high-quality results that leave a lasting impact. We work around you, to your time scale, and guarantee an excellent service, every time.

A family business passionate about the power of paint

Founded in 1986 by Jamie & Mandy Elstow, they have successfully run the company and built a team they’re proud of for over 37 years. Gary Pickering joined shortly after as the third director at Marshels, bringing his managerial expertise within the painting and decorating industry into the company.

We’re a family-run business striving for only the highest standard of work, and only take on tradespeople and painting and decorating contractors that take pride in their craftsmanship. We promote strong relationships within the company work force, and regularly invest in apprenticeship schemes – and that’s why we work towards the promotion of the newer generation of workers, and the development of their skills.

Empowering our local community

Being part of the local community is more than just a label for us – it’s a genuine passion. We’ve been diving headfirst into all kinds of exciting local projects and initiatives that make Farnham a better place to live. For instance, we’ve proudly stepped up as sponsors for the Farnham Carnival and Farnham Cricket Club… and we’re only just getting started.

FAQs

What makes a good painter and decorator?

First impressions are everything, so look out for things like owning an official website with helpful information, honest customer reviews and a catalogue showcasing their work. General professionalism is essential when looking for a painter or decorator.

How do deposits work in painting and decorating?

If a decorator asks for a deposit, they should first provide a detailed quote, outlining the amount of preparation, the process, materials and the full list of works they intend to carry out. They should also provide their terms and conditions for the remaining payment.
