    Posted 27 January

    Jim has just completed some plastering work for me. He did an excellent job with a great finish. He left the house very clean & tidy at the end of each day. He was reliable, a great communicator & very polite & pleasant. Will definitely use him again & am happy to recommend him.

    Plastering over arthex ceilings

    Really high quality plaster work. Super smooth and fast with the job. Covered up horrible popcorn ceiling and holes completely. Will definitely call him again. Thank you!

    Jimmy did a great job, I’d definitely recommend him.

    Posted 07 December 2025

    If you’re looking for a plasterer, look no further. Jimmy boarded and skimmed two bedroom ceilings for me. He arrived on time both days and just cracked on. When he had completed the job he left the rooms spotless. He is an incredibly competent plasterer and did a great job of the ceilings. I would highly recommend Jimmy.

    Great Plasterer

    Posted 07 November 2025

    Jim has done an excellent plastering job on our barn conversion. Our decorators also commented how well it had been done and as a result made their job much easier. Unlike plasterers we have used in the past Jim is very tidy and takes care. We would definitely recommend.

    High quality bedroom ceiling and bay window

    Posted 06 November 2025

    Fantastic experience with Jim, swift to come and quote, knew his stuff and clearly has a high standard of workmanship, friendly and a pleasure to have in the house, very courteous and considerate and, most importantly, a supremely smooth ceiling by the end of the day as scheduled! Will be using him again and very happy to recommend.

    An excellent plasterer

    Posted 18 September 2025

    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.
