Dan was great from start to finish. Reliable, a great communicator and a brilliant plasterer. He went the extra mile for us and it was really appreciated. We will definitely be asking him to help us again and can highly recommend him to others.

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

As always Dan did a great job! 2nd time we've had Dan out to skimmed a room, as we work through freshening up the house. Great job, would absolutely recommend!
Dan is a great plasterer. Professional, pleasant and productive. He will be my first port of call for any plastering or rendering henceforth.
