Keith A. Blackburn Mural Artist/Creative Decorating Services

The 'Robson Organ' dated 1875, originally in a Church in Essex, has now been moved to All Hallows' Gospel Oak. The original casing and pipe work had all been painted cream. Keith Blackburn has completely restored the wooden case and taken it back to the original and staining it a most attractive natural colour At the same time the stencilling on the pipe work had all bee restored to is original condition. It is a quite remarkable piece of work, over which he took a great deal of trouble and skill; it should now remain in its excellent restored condition for a couple of centuries or more . The attention to detail is astonishing; the organ not only sounds good, but is a most beautiful sight to behold.

When I stripped the paint from my Victorian mantelpiece, I discovered that it was Carrara marble, but most of the left vertical had been destroyed decades ago, and replaced by cement. So I asked around for an artist who does marbling. Keith came very highly recommended. A good musician has a good ear; a good artist has a good eye. Keith creatively matched the existing marble so well that nobody can tell where the real marble ends, and the fake marble begins. I defy anybody. 2 friends of mine are brothers, and both their parents were artists and art teachers. One used to run his own small building company. They peered at it hyper-critically, and nit-picked, saying: “I think he could have done a bit more at the bottom.” I said: “If you feel in different places for the thermal differences, you’ll find that the bottom bit is real marble.” They were speechless. Even they had to admit that it was an incredible job. So I unhesitatingly recommend Keith most highly. He is beyond professional. He is most pleasant company, and 1,000% trustworthy. If they allowed 6 stars, I'd award him 6.

Keith not only has a wealth of experience as an interior and exterior decorator , he is also an extremely talented artist. He is trustworthy, dedicated and hard working, and most importantly a very nice man!
I have worked together with Keith on several exterior house repair and paint projects using the Timbabuild epoxy wood repair, and he has shown me his previous work in the local area.
He is a master craftsman, capable of very high quality standards, and this is proven by his past client portfolio. Keith appears regularly in the industry magazine "The Decorator" because of the sometimes quirky, complex, but always very high quality projects he undertakes.
A true legend of the trade, and a fine gentleman - Highly Recommended!

Keith Blackburn did a lovely job, redecorating the dining room in my Edwardian home. He is meticulous about the choice of paints and the final finish. I am really delighted with his work.
