    excellent plastering of bedroom - real professional

    Posted 27 February

    Robin did a wonderful job plastering our daughter's bedroom. He was also very kind giving advice on how to prep for painting, as well as giving advice ahead of time and when we were forced to reschedule.

    Robin was outstanding, right from the initial quote, to the finished plastered rooms!

    Posted 20 February

    Robin was outstanding, right from the initial quote, to the finished plastered rooms! He is punctual, communicative, tidy and best of all brilliant at plastering. We had a fairly tricky set of requirements; 5 rooms that needed internally insulating and plastering around a new pipework and a full rewire. He went above and beyond what was expected to make sure every room was spot on, and we couldn't be happier with the result. We will definitely use Robin again to do the final 2 rooms when the next phase of the works begins!

    Repair to cracked plaster

    Posted 18 June 2025

    Robin did an amazing job repairing some cracked plaster at the top of an internal wall. He was able to fit this in between jobs so I didn’t have to wait long. The plastering work was excellent and Robin made sure the dust was contained and cleaned up very well afterwards. His communication and time keeping were excellent too. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Original Happy Plasterer!

    Bedroom Plaster

    Posted 14 October 2024

    We 100% recommend Robin! This was the second time he’s done work for us and we couldn’t be happier. Robin’s attention to detail is incredible, I’ve never seen another plasterer prepare the surface so meticulously and this shows in the end result. The walls are beautifully smooth, everything was left clean and tidy, sockets and windows etc all covered so no need to spend ages cleaning them off! Not only does Robin do a fantastic job, he’s also reliable, has great communication and is friendly and professional. Thank you Robin!
