This is our second project with Lewis and I could not sing his and his team’s praises more! After our complete ground floor renovation with him we wanted to upscale our bathroom as our next project. Lewis listened to our vision and transformed the small room we had into something unique and spacious, turning our small bathroom into a design piece. From his meticulous tiling and ever perfect plastering, we are already planning our next project with him. The plumbing was executed to perfection, thank you Lewis and on to the next project!
Lewis carried out the work plastering a bathroom and bedroom to a very high standard, efficiently and was extremely tidy. Our bathroom ended up being a bigger project than we had thought but Lewis happily adapted to our extra requests which we very grateful for. We have further work to do on other rooms so will be looking to use his services again!
Lewis was fantastic. He worked super hard, even during horribly hot weather and did a great job. very very happy and will 100% use his services again.

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.
Check the TrustMark registerNever pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
