0 Threatening behaviour, completely unprofessional and distressing experience
Posted 11 June
I arranged a plastering quote. The tradesman arrived early with no notice, then left without trying to speak to me. When I called back, my calls were rejected. After I complained, he called back aggressive, blamed me, and became threatening — saying “they know where I live” if I left a bad review. I was alone with my 3-year-old and felt very unsafe. I’ve reported the incident to the police. Absolutely avoid.Verified reviewerJob location: CT16Response from Portland Plastering Services Ltd
We strongly refute these allegations, which misrepresent the situation entirely,no threatening language was used, and our attempt to return and complete the quote was met with hostility. This allegation is not only baseless but lacks any substantiation.
10 Plastering in bedroom
Posted 04 June
We had our bedroom re plastered recently by Dan. Initially we met Adam and accepted his quote which was very competitive. We were really impressed with Dan's workmanship. He was very tidy, efficient and kind. The job he did was very impressive, so much so that we are leaving the bare plaster without painting it because it looks so good. Thank you Portland Plastering.Verified reviewerJob location: CT198.67 Quality work, competitively priced.

We required a lounge wall to be plastered and the artex ceiling to be skimmed. The ceiling turned out to be difficult as it was uneven however Dan did an excellent job and it looks amazing. The quality of his work is superb, he's certainly a craftsman. The work took 2 days and he came back on bank holiday monday inorder to complete it for us. Particularly important as we had an electrician coming in to complete a re-wire. I would highly recommend this company, very professional, competitively priced and quality workmanship.Verified reviewerJob location: CT1310 Living room

Adam first came to quote for rendering. Really lovely guy and very professional. I now use him regularly for all my projects and wouldn't use anybody else.Verified reviewerJob location: CT2010 Bedroom Coving in Rental Property
