About
Painting and decorating have always been more than a job for me — they are part of who I am. Growing up in Thessaloniki, I watched my father and brother transform walls and rooms with skill and care, and from an early age I knew I wanted to follow in their footsteps. Today, here in the UK, I’ve spent years honing that craft, turning homes and businesses into spaces people love.
Colour Drops was born from the rainy skies of London, a vision of bringing colour and light into homes. I personally guide each project so rooms feel bright, inviting, and full of life.
I approach each project with care, precision, and a personal touch — because a home or workplace is more than just walls; it’s where life happens. I combine skill, creativity, and professionalism to transform spaces into places people love, ensuring every client feels heard, valued, and thrilled with the result.
“You dream it, you say it — I’ll paint it!”

Bedroom Paint and Wallpaper Job
Absolutely brilliant and professional job from Al. He is very friendly and helpful in quoting the work, and assisted us immensely in adjusting the quote to include other tid-bits we needed doing. His finish was very professional, and even went over and above to revisit when (completely our fault) we didn't have enough wallpaper! I highly recommend him, and will be using him for all of our decorating jobs in the future! Thanks again Al!
Alket’s Colour DropsThank you Angus for your lovely review! 😎

Al did a great job, advising but not overstepping. He was pleasant, and a fast worker with attention to detail. Really impressed with his communication and work ethic. I’d definitely ask him to do more more when the time comes.

Paint Sun Lounge Frames
Alket is a professional hardworking and left my sunlounge looking brand new. He is fair about his price and would recommend highly. In fact he is going to paint my kitchen soon (after I’ve done some tiling) Paint
Alket’s Colour DropsThan you Concessa very much for your kind words and the lovely hospitality and the lemon cake 🎂💚
Interior Painting & Minor Repairs
Al did a fantastic job painting multiple rooms throughout our property, including two bedrooms, the stairwell, hallway, and landing. The finish is smooth and even throughout, with clean edges around skirting boards, door frames, and window sills. The bedroom feature wall (the lavender chimney breast against the grey) looks particularly sharp — great colour coordination and neat cutting-in. The stairwell was clearly a tricky space given how narrow and steep it is, but Al handled it well with no visible drips or missed spots. All the woodwork and trim look crisp. Very pleased with the quality and would happily recommend. The pricing was extremely fair and competitive.
Alket’s Colour DropsThank you so much, Ryen — truly appreciate your kind words and your trust. It was a pleasure working on your home, and I’m really glad you’re happy with the result.🙏
Paint Internal Walls and Ceilings
Absolutely fantastic job done, Al is flexible, reliable, and goes the extra mile. He takes pride in not just doing a painting and decorating job, but in making a room much better, cleaner, and fresher than he found including undertaking small repairs where needed to make something really perfect. I really cannot recommend Al's work highly enough!
Alket’s Colour DropsThank you, Cathy — truly appreciated. It was a pleasure working on your home. ✨
Bedroom Paint & Minor Repairs
An excellent job, completed quickly and cleanly. Left the house tidier and cleaner than when he started.
Alket’s Colour DropsThank you, Patrick. I really appreciate the feedback. I’m glad you’re happy with the room.
Hallway Painting and Decorating
Al did an absolutely amazing job on my poor 'old tired Hallway'. It was in need of a complete overhaul after many years of neglect and heavy children traffic. Al helped me choose the best colours and offered very helpful advice allowing me to determine my preferences. He was also able to dismantle an eyesore of a water cylinder cabinet before transforming the hallway. He always left the hall clean and tidy at end of day and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him as a professional painter who took great delight in his job. And as a bonus he was a very pleasant guy.
Alket’s Colour DropsThank you, Vic — it was a pleasure restoring your hallway, and I’m grateful for your trust and recommendation. 😎
Paint Newly Installed Media Wall
I am so happy with the service Al provided. He advised me on which paint to buy as well as which colours would work best. He was tidy, clean and had really attention to detail. He took so much care over his work and the final outcome looks amazing. Would 10/10 recommend.
Alket’s Colour DropsThanks so much! I’m glad you’re happy with the finished result. 🤩
