Matt, was very polite and professional, he cleaned up every day after work and made sure that the carpet in the other rooms need to access was protected. We quickly discovered an issue (old house problems) by Matt had several solutions so it was easy to agree on one and keep the job moving. The quality of finish is fantastic! A true master of the art!Verified reviewerJob location: CM910 Plastering shower room

I have used Matt several times now and his work cannot be faulted. He isn’t just on time he’s always early! He is very tidy and never leaves a mess to clear up. The work is always top quality and is competitively priced. I’m very disappointed to see that someone rated a 9/10 with no good reason!Verified reviewerJob location: CO69 Ceiling plaster

Matt did an excellent job. He was quick to reply to our request and accommodated us at short notice. As always Matt did a fantastic job, the room was left clean and tidy, it was done very efficiently and I'd thoroughly recommend Matt.Verified reviewerJob location: CM910 Silicone render for external walls

Matt provided an excellent and quality service from quoting for the work up until completion. All work was undertaken within the quoted timescales, despite a few problems being encountered when old render was removed, these problems were also resolved quickly. I wouldn't hesitate to use Skimfast for any future work.Verified reviewerJob location: CO2
