    An excellent plasterer

    Posted 18 September

    Jim arrived on time, he was friendly and courteous. He covered all the surfaces to protect them. He explained what he was doing. He took great care to prepare the ceiling. He worked quickly and efficiently. When he finished he cleaned up. His work was excellent. He advised me when and how to paint.

    Excellent Plasterer

    Posted 05 September

    Jim did a fantastic job with plastering our wall in the hallway. He's friendly, helpful and explained clearly how he was going to fix our wall. He kept the area tidy and cleaned up after the job was complete. We will definitely be using him again for future projects. Thanks again Jim!

    Bathroom ceiling plastering

    Posted 10 June

    Found Jim via the app. Very polite on the phone arranging when he could fit me in. He was on time and friendly. Very happy with the finish, especially as he had an artex type of ceiling to cover. He left the bathroom cleaner than he found it! Would use him again

He explained everything really clearly, was helpful, friendly, polite and cleaned up afterwards as well. He was a real pleasure to have around and the walls look incredible! I’m so happy and I can’t recommend Jim enough :)
