    Kitchen Plastered for Rennovation

    Posted 1 week ago

    Putting in a new kitchen and the walls were a bit of a mess after taking everything out. Took pics and sent them through, got a price and asked if they could fit us in on the quick which they did. Done the job in a day plus a few additional bits and it looks brilliant. Just got to wait for it to dry now. Very pleased indeed and Chris and his colleague were great. Would 100% recommend and will keep them on record for any future work.

    From the first enquiry to the end result Chris was fantastic. He was prompt in his communication, advised us on the best way forward and completed the job quickly. His price was very competitive. We would highly recommend.

    Bedroom and en-suite ceiling over artex

    Posted 28 November 2025

    A great and easy experience with this company. Chris is a obviously a guy who takes great pride in his work and has the experience and skill to back it up. He and his team arrived bright and early on the day of the job and were friendly, professional and courteous throughout. We couldn't be happier with the finish that they managed to achieve. We'll definitely be trying to use them again for any more work in the future!

    A brilliant professional job with great communication . Chris and Mitch were very personable and talked us through all stages of the plastering -even though it was only a small job. I would definitely recommend.
