Jim was excellent and so efficient and friendly and managed to fit me in quickly in his busy schedule. He visited ahead of the job to provide an accurate quote and kept me well informed about the process along the way. He did a fabulous job and even gave me tips and recommendations for other DIY jobs, which I really appreciate.Verified reviewerJob location: CR210 Artex ceiling

I recently had my old artex ceiling boarded - plastered and I am extremely satisfied with the results. The workmanship was top-notch, leaving a smooth and flawless finish. Jim was professional, punctual, and ensured the workspace was kept clean throughout the process. The attention to detail was evident, especially around the edges and corners, where the finish was seamless. The job was completed within the promised timeframe and at a reasonable cost. I highly recommend Jim’s service to anyone needing quality plastering work. My ceiling looks as good as new, and I couldn’t be happier with thVerified reviewerJob location: SM410 Plastering work

We needed a number of plastering jobs done around the house, stairs, ceiling, walls in a few rooms. From the moment we got in touch with Jim it was great, he was was in within a week of the phone call agreeing the job, we couldn't be happier with the job and it was a fair price. Plastering is always a little messy but Jim went to the effort of hoovering and cleaning down even thought he had already covered all the surfaces before hand. I think the main thing was he is a really nice guy who took care and pride in the work. We even made a few changes without any problems.Verified reviewerJob location: CR810 Living room ceiling

Jim was fantastic! He was very organised and tidy. We had lots of questions before and after the job and he always replied very quickly with detailed answers. Our ceiling looks great and we’ve had several compliments from tradesmen who have subsequently come to do jobs in the room. Would definitely recommend him!Verified reviewerJob location: CR3
