10 Front of house rendering, insulation and stone clading.
Posted 20 October 2019
At every step of the job we were kept informed, by Paul Barber, as to what was being done, what materials were being used and why; most reassuring. Furthermore, at the end of each work day he swept and tidied up, leaving the garden area looking presentable. Since doing this work he has done several odd jobs around the house. Paul is reliable, punctual and honest. I highly recommend him.Verified reviewerJob location: IP410 Skimming a small, awkward area in an ensuite
Posted 04 October 2019
Paul fitted this small job in at short notice. He did a large job for us about 12 years ago, and remains as thorough, skilled and careful with all aspects of his work as he was then. He is utterly reliable, punctual and trustworthy, and excellent value. He suggested the best solutions for an awkward space, and did a brilliant job. Paul is very personable, and communications are all timely and efficient. He is a master of his trade and I recommend him without reservation.Verified reviewerJob location: IP910 Old fashioned air condition unit removed leaving 2 holes in external wall. Paul filled with expanding foam then sealed the wall and plaster ready for me to paint once plaster has dried.

Came on the Friday to look at job filled holes with expanding foam as this had to dry off as agreed came back on the Monday and completed work. Work was excellent also repaired skirting board. This is my second time of using Paul and certainly would ask him to do work for me again.Verified reviewerJob location: IP410 Kitchen ceiling Made good after spotlights fitted and skimmed over artex

Really pleased with the results. Excellent job.Verified reviewerJob location: IP1310 Asbestos Test on Artex Ceiling
Posted 05 August 2019
We required a simple test for asbestos in our ceilings before planning more extensive works. Paul was able to provide us with really useful advice as well as completing the test quickly and without mess or fuss. We will have future projects and will be contacting Paul again when the time comes.Verified reviewerJob location: IP510 Replace render between two bay windows

A very neat and professional job. I have used Mr Barber before for internal plastering and his external work is just as excellent. I'm more than happy to recommend him and will certainly use him again when I next require plastering work to be carried out.Verified reviewerJob location: IP1
