9.33 Hall stairs and landing walls and ceilings skimmed
Posted 19 April
Mitch’s communications were excellent. He visited the house to quote and was on time. He was able to fit me in quickly and arrived exactly on time on both days. His team were polite and friendly and the job was carried out quickly and care was taken of the flooring. The finished job is of a high quality and I would have no trouble recommending Mitch to anyone seeking plastering services,Verified reviewerJob location: DY10Response from First Rate Finishes

10 Quality Plastering Job
Posted 22 March
Job location: WV4This is the second time we have used Firstratefinishes, first time he plastered over two artex ceilings and a wall, this time he boarded, and skimmed hall, stairs and landing plus skimmed one bedroom. Mitch arrived on time each day and kept us updated with his plans for the day. His workmanship is excellent and would have no problem recommending him.Response from First Rate Finishes
Thankyou for the review Rodger.

5 3 bedrooms, landing and stairs skimming
Posted 07 February
Left unfinished due to lack of communication. Assumed area wasn’t being done due to no access even tho in the initial quote I stated everything which needed to be done. Did not offer a resolution or to come back to finish. I asked for a reduction in price and had to find someone else to finish the job with a week to move in. Will not be using again for obvious reasonsVerified reviewerJob location: B14Response from First Rate Finishes
That’s inaccurate, I did offer a resolution, straight away! I happily revised the quote to fit your needs despite this being completely your fault. The cupboard you’re talking about was left completely unprepared, a full size wooden cupboard was still fitted inside filling the whole space! I do not quote for stripping or removal of wallpaper, skirting boards or anything of this nature this is your responsibility. I have a busy schedule and my other customers do not deserve to be let down because of bad preparation on your end hence why I offered price reduction to settle this🙂

10 Living room
Posted 03 February
Mitch has just finished plastering my living room and I couldn’t be happier with the result. The work was completed to a very high standard with a smooth, flawless finish. He was punctual, professional, and kept everything neat and tidy throughout. I would definitely recommend Mitch to anyone looking for a skilled plasterer.Verified reviewerJob location: B31 - SSteve H
10 Impeccable plastering of two ceilings.
Posted 12 January
I would absolutely recommend this company. From the first contact, Mitch arrived on time, gave a fair quote, together with a timescale. His work is impeccable. Two artexed ceilings, transformed with smooth plaster. He completed it within his timescale and made absolutely no mess. He even helped with moving our furniture. A great guy who I would absolutely recommend for this type of work.Verified reviewerJob location: B67
