“James, thanks for plastering my ceiling, I'm very impressed with the results. A job very well done! Great communication, very tidy, a lot of care taken in the work and quality workmanship.”
“James did a brilliant job plastering our bathroom ceiling after cracks started to appear in our old one. James reviewed the situation and worked with us to get it sorted as soon as possible. James was super tidy so there was minimal clean up after, and I’m very happy with how the ceiling looks.”
“Had our living room and two bedrooms replastered and I'm really pleased with the result. He repaired the damaged areas and skimmed throughout, and the finish is spot on. Walls are flat and smooth, no patching needed before painting. Clean and tidy worker too, which I appreciated, and easy to deal with from the first quote through to the end of the job. No hesitation recommending him”
“I’ve used James a few times now, and every job he’s done has been completed to an excellent standard. Most recently he carried out the drywall insulation, and once again I couldn’t fault his work. He’s reliable, professional, turns up when he says he will, and his prices are very fair. It’s hard to find someone you can trust, but James always delivers high-quality workmanship…”
“We recently moved into a new home and wanted to skim over the artex ceilings. We were tight on time because of the other decorating jobs that needed doing, but James was very flexible to work around our schedule and young family. He was very friendly which always makes a difference when someone is working in your home. The ceilings look incredible and we couldn’t be happier. He also advised on some damaged walls and was able to add include that in the work. I would definitely recommend James to anyone. We’ve used other plasterers before and the finishing that James delivered was far far better.”
