10 Brilliant Job – Couldn’t Be Happier
Posted 03 February
Really pleased with the ceiling skim Ian did for us. Looks flawless and has completely transformed the room. Friendly, reliable, and clearly knows his trade. Would happily recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: HP2Response from St Albans Plastering and General Builders
Hi Darren. It was a pleasure working for you and your wife. Thank you for clearing the room out and the constant supply of coffee. Winner!!!
10 Prompt, polite and professional

Friendly, polite and conducted the work on time and within budget. Did a couple of extra bits of work at no extra charge. Work looks to be of good quality, damp proofing so a bit of a slow burn on results, however the interior wall he stripped and re plastered has dried out nicely so I expect everything else to be good as well.Verified reviewerJob location: HA610 Plastering and Carpentry

Job location: AL4Ian came to our house to plaster the walls surrounding our new staircase, box in exposed pipes and replace the old skirting. He also plastered the walls in one of the bedrooms and replaced the old skirting. He completed both jobs to perfection and we are really pleased with the end results. Ian was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable, he knows just what is needed and is happy to offer advice. I would not hesitate to recommend him for his excellent carpentry and plastering skills, his work is faultless.Response from St Albans Plastering and General Builders
Thanks you for your kind words

10 Amazing all-round Plasterer, Decorator and Electrician!
Posted 04 December 2025
I was introduced to Ian by a friend as I was looking for a plasterer for our Master Bedroom. Ian was friendly and arranged to come round within a day or two and was really personable and helpful when discussing what we were looking to do. As I explained my hopes for the room long term, Ian let me know that he is able to offer other services, and what began as a quote for plastering turned into electrics, plastering, new skirting and decorating! Ian did the work over several days and we're over the moon with how it all looks! Would highly recommend and will book him again!Verified reviewerJob location: AL2Response from St Albans Plastering and General Builders
Thank for the great review. Hope you guys enjoy your new room. 😎

10 skimming
Posted 03 December 2025
I decided to have a go at plastering but decided halfway that I should get in a professional. Ian from St Alban's Plastering did a first class job of bonding and skimming a wall in our kitchen plus fixing a couple of patches elsewhere in the house. Brilliant plasterer and a lovely guy, would definitely recommend!Verified reviewerJob location: MK13Response from St Albans Plastering and General Builders
