Jim was great from the point of contact to finishing the job when agreed. He worked around an electrician we had come in to put some droplights too. He left the room in great condition and we've just had to decorate really.Verified reviewerJob location: TN1 10 Plastering to Artex Ceiling

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.Verified reviewerJob location: SM4
