    Excellent in every way

    Posted 18 May

    The work carried out by Dave was excellent in every way. There were many awkward parts of the ceilings to be plastered but the finish was extremely good. Dave overcame unexpected issues with positivity and good cheer. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

    An excellent job in every way.

    Posted 13 May

    We are absolutely delighted with the work carried out by David. The plastering is very smooth and neat and David overcame unexpected difficulties cheerfully, without extra charge and within the quoted timescale. Our home was left immaculately clean and tidy at the end of each day. We can't recommend David highly enough. A great job in every way.

    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.
