8.75 Plastered ceiling
Posted 01 December 2024
Dave was punctual and friendly. He carried out the work on our ceilings efficiently and professionally within the estimated time scale. He went above and beyond and even managed a couple of other small jobs within the quote. He and Sid were extremely polite and it was a pleasure doing business with them. We would definitely ask them back to carry out future work and we have no hesitation in recommending them.Verified reviewerJob location: SO1510 Artex removal

David was recommended to us by a friend who had some work done last year, when I spoke to David he was polite and clear with his communication and came out to give a quote the next day. David told me what the price was for the entire job from the beginning, which we were very happy with. David and his son were friendly and hard working and got the work done quickly and professionally, a rare quality these days! Overall very impressed, would use again and highly recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: SO3110 Complete replaster of a bedroom and overboarding of ceiling

David and his son turned up promptly and got straight to work. Needed several kitchen walls patched up and coving replaced. This included plastering where 2 walls of different widths joined. The workmanship is excellent- you wouldn't know it was a tricky job in places! All done in one day, and at an extremely reasonable price. Both very friendly and efficient. Will definitely use again and recommend to others.Verified reviewerJob location: SO3110 Whole new annexe: ceilings, walls, dot and dab

Have and his son Syd were here for 3 weeks. They arrived early each day, worked tirelessly and went above and beyond their brief. They worked tidily which is challenging considering the job. Dave has done projects for ourselves and for our son before and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him or call on his services again. His workmanship is excellent.Verified reviewerJob location: PO16
