Verified by CheckatradeComplete plastering for three rooms
I had three rooms plastered my Mark from dab and skim plasteres, I was very pleased with thd work Mark carried out and completed. He was very professional. And I would recommend him to anyone need this work carried out.

We needed fiddly jobs doing after having the windows replaced and new lintels inserted. So some work around the window reveals was required. Mark did a fantastic job, very neat finish, kept us informed of what he was doing and also tidied up afterwards. Will recommend to others and happily use again.

Dab & Skim Plasterers did an outstanding job plastering our entire ground floor, including the tricky staircase wall and ceiling. Their attention to detail was excellent, and the finish is flawless. Mark worked efficiently, kept everything clean and tidy throughout, and completed the project within the agreed timeframe. A reliable and skilled plasterer. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him!
Verified by Checkatrade
Easy! Booked in for 2 bedrooms to be taken back to brick, reboarded and skimmed. A week later he arrived put carpet protection down and got to it. Neat and tidy, left the place spotless. Wouldn’t have even knew he’d been. Thanks again!

Dab and skim were great, quick to reply and quote, very honest and great at explaining the job. Found a few horrora along the way but they were great at explaining the job and adding on a day to fix some brickwork.

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Mark for a plastering job in our bedroom, and I couldn't be happier with the results. We had bare brick walls around the chimney breast due to the removal of a fitted wardrobe and needed the plastering redone around the bay window, as well as coving removed and replastered. Mark's work was top-notch—smooth, flawless, and finished to the highest standard. What impressed me most was his responsiveness and dedication. We called him on a Sunday, explaining our tight deadline to have the work done before Friday. Mark managed to fit us into his schedule and com

I contacted Mark for a quote and we had a WhatsApp call to see the room, then we arranged a time for him to pop round and confirm his quote in person. He stripped the walls of wallpaper and skimmed the room and also fitted skirting boards near the fireplace. Overall very happy with the quality of his work and would have no problem in recommending him to others.

Approved plumbers on the free WaterSafe register are vetted, qualified to the water regulations and insured. Check they're listed, or find a WaterSafe-approved plumber near you.
Check the WaterSafe registerAgree the call-out fee, the hourly or fixed rate, and whether parts are charged on top, in writing, before an emergency plumber starts. Out-of-hours overcharging and 'while I'm here' add-ons are common complaints.
Be wary of a plumber who, on a first visit, says your whole system or boiler must be replaced. Get a second opinion and an itemised quote (parts and labour separately) before agreeing to major work.
Gas and boiler work is a separate, regulated trade, not general plumbing. Make sure anyone working on a gas appliance is specifically registered to do gas work, and ask to see that registration before they start.
