    ceiling plastered

    Posted 11 April

    several pieces of plaster board needed replacing due to sagging which protracted the length of the job but he even came to finish on Easter Monday. Top man.

    Efficient completion of a small job.

    Posted 23 March

    I had a small amount of plastering to be done around a replacement garage door. Dave fitted it in around another local job, and it was efficiently completed in a morning. I was very pleased with the work done and the price.

    Insulated plasterboard and skim

    Posted 04 March

    DHP have just finished the second room in our house. This required preparation, installing insulated plasterboard and skimming. Both jobs have been completed to exceptional standards. The quality of work produced is second to none and all completed in a very tidy and trustworthy manner. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend DHP to anyone looking for their plastering requirements. We will certainly use them again for any further works.

    Plastering of multiple areas

    Posted 08 October 2019

    Great experience with Revival, reliable, tidy and very polite. We had a dining nook, chimney breast, and a couple of other patchy areas needing plastering - all were done to a far higher quality than expected considering the terrible state of our old walls. Cannot recommend enough and will use again without hesitation should any further work need doing.
