    Joseph did a lovely job. He did more than we asked which we really appreciate. We will definitely be using him again. We'd highly recommend.

    Trustworthy and dependable.

    Posted 14 February

    Joseph was prompt, efficient, thorough and extremely helpful. He was able to advise me as to what would be best for the job, when I was unsure what to do. He was dependable, courteous and most importantly he was trustworthy. He did what he said he would do, and kept to his quote.

    Brilliant Workmanship and Great Value for Money!

    Posted 03 January

    Sometimes, you come across a tradesman that exceeds expectations in every way, and this plasterer certainly falls into that camp! From start to finish each ceiling room throughout the whole house was plastered to a great glass finish. The pre preparation was organised with each room being cleaned and tidied to a good standard as he went along. I can't highly recommend Joe enough, and whilst he wasn't avaliable immediately, it's true what they say, all good things come to those who wait. He's a great find and delivers great work!

    Reliable tradesman

    Posted 28 November 2025

    This is my third booking with Joseph Stokes which says a lot. This time he plastered a hall landing and stairs installing coving and ceiling rose, plus adding new plaster boarding section which seamlessly blends into the old wall. I had very cracked lime plaster ceilings and rough walls which now look amazing and super smooth! It's so transformational the difference it makes. Jospeh is nice to have around the house too, he also had many other tradesman skills.
