    Excellent plastering and painting duo - the best - highly recommended!

    Posted 15 May

    Matt and Greg have worked on a number of different renovation projects in the house and each time have provided excellent and thorough plastering and painting. Very polite, timely and masters in their trades - we always trust that they will leave the project looking absolutely incredible. We will ofcourse be booking Matt & Greg again when the next project surfaces. Highly recommended!

    Professional, reliable and would 100% recommend

    Posted 20 October 2025

    GJ Barden and Son have worked wonders in my house, in fact they have made a house a home.!! The quote was extremely reasonable and there were no added extras at the end of the job. They were pleasant to have in the house and always tidied up as they worked. We absolutely love the difference to our home and we would recommend them over and over again. We will certainly be having them back again in the near future

    GJ Barden and Son are very professional. They have done an amazing job stripping wood chip, plastering and painting our whole house. They were very friendly and clear communication the whole time. Would recommend them to anyone.
