Dean skimmed 3 ceilings for us, getting rid of (horrible!) artex. He arrived exactly on time, explained what was doing, was clean and tidy and got the ceilings super flat for a very reasonable price - we are really happy with the finish, so much so we've got him coming back in new year. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
