    Filling and taping loft room

    Brilliant from start to finish. Great communication and quick to give a rough quote for the work. Worked around a temperamental bit of plaster boarding and made it look good. 100% would recommend

    Danny came to give me a quote for taping a wall after a recent conservatory build I booked him as found his prices very reasonable, he arrived on time to start the job and he kept me informed throughout and done a very professional job while also tidying up afterwards. I will definitely book him again in the future.

Hello, my name is Daniel Smith, I am known as Danny.

I have recently turned 30 and I am in the process of building up my business to support my young family.

I am an Ames Taper and have been doing this for around 3 years now.


I had a change of career, I was always known for being in the motor trade, but I took up Ames Taping and at first it was just a bit of a hobby.

I taught myself to do it in my own house when I had my attic converted to a 3rd bedroom and en-suite.


However, I really enjoyed doing it and seen improvements in my results, a few other tradesmen gave me positive feedback on my taping.

Therefore, I decided to get myself certified and I did this by going on a training course.


From then, I have just been doing as many jobs as I can to gain experience.

I am now subcontracting to several companies on new builds sites as well as private and domestic work.

I always aim to give my best and satisfy the customer or whoever I am doing the work for; I pride myself in keeping a safe and tidy work area.
