    Friendly, punctual, tidy and experienced plasterer

    Posted 14 November 2025

    We contacted Mike with a a plastering challenging which he was more than happy to accept. Mike was punctual and very friendly throughout and always kept us informed and upto date with the job in hand. He ensured that he left at the end of each day with our house and drive way clean and tidy. The completed plastering could not be faulted, obviously very experienced and knows his stuff. We have already asked him for a quote to do some rendering for us in the spring. 5 ⭐ plasterer!

    Remove artex ceiling, replace and replaster and redecorate

    Open, honest, and friendly. Cannot fault communication or his ability to work around our schedule, our living routines. And more importantly our autistic son. Would highly recommend.

    Friendly, conscientious, a pleasure to deal with.

    Posted 07 October 2025

    Mike worked on renovating much of our house, which involved plastering, fitting cornice, painting & decorating and wallpapering, as well as relaying the tiles and bricks of our front step. He was also able to accommodate and put his hand to the multitude of additional small jobs which arose as the work progressed, working in collaboration with our other tradesmen - and calling in assistance from his own contacts as needed. He is friendly, conscientious and was a pleasure to deal with.

    A very safe pair of hands

    Posted 01 September 2025

    Mike completely prepped and skimmed a 13m^2 bedroom for us (walls and ceiling) in 3 days, exactly as he had quoted. He'd done another job for us in the past, so we knew we'd get a high quality finish. Another plasterer who came to quote couldn't match Mike's price. Mike's a super reliable, polite, and honest chap, with decades of experience that are quite apparent in the speed and quality of his work. Like most plasterers, the only problem is that he's so in demand that he's always busy, so book early to avoid disappointment!

    Lounge wall plastered

    Posted 30 August 2025

    Michael did a fantastic job plastering my lounge wall, which was in a shocking state after having some tongue and groove removed. Michael was an absolute pleasure through the whole process, friendly, professional and his commitment to a high standard of workmanship was evident in every aspect of the task in hand! I highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a skilled tradesman with many decades of experience!

    Skimming a 2 rooms, hallway and board+skim fireplace

    Posted 19 August 2024

    Professional and courteous throughout, and did a great job all round for me. The job didn't go quite as planned, as I broke my leg the week before the job was due to commence! Which meant the original plan of having an empty house had to be completely changed! Michael gave me 2 options, either refund my deposit (very kind and honourable of him), or work together to come up with a new plan. Over the course of a couple of weeks, Michael kindly adjusted his schedule to accommodate the situation and we were able to get the rooms complete in time for the other planned works! 10/10 service.
