    Fixing cracked rendering round window, causing water penetration.

    Posted 17 February

    Chris and his team were fantastic from start to finish. Communication was prompt and clear, they arrived exactly on time, and took the time to explain what they would be doing. The work was completed to a high standard and even improved on what was there before. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

    Great quality, friendly, and punctual

    Posted 10 February

    Chris done a fantastic job plastering our ceiling to remove old popcorn effect, and plastering another wall. Left with a dead smooth finish that feels like glass. He arrived on time, was very friendly, and a provided a reasonable price. Will be using again.

    Kitchen Plastered for Rennovation

    Posted 27 January

    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.
