Verified by CheckatradePlastering internal walks of 1930’s property
Exceptional. Work has been carried out over the last 12 weeks due to rooms only becoming available as the builders completed various internal works. It not been an easy job because we are still living in the property but Dan has worked around us and the builders timetable to supply excellent plaster finishing to all 12 rooms, walls and ceilings. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for superb plaster finishing at a competitive rate. He was also very reliable and unlike lots of trades people turned-up on time at the date and time agreed.

Danny did a really good job and left hardly any mess. Communication regarding a quote and arranging to do the work was excellent would definitely recommend him.
Verified by CheckatradePlastering to walls with cut out brick openings
Another great job by Dan. Newly formed openings required plastering and Dan formed the edges and surrounding walls with boards and plastered them very nicely. The decorator said his work was good and had no rubbing down at all. The job was cleaned very well. Nice work from a polite guy.

Couldnt fault the plastering, Danny did a very good job. Was on time, polite and friendly and cleared up afterwards. Would highly recommend.

Not entirely happy with the finished plastering, once the paint has gone on its uneven and it's rippled/lumps in a number of places. When it's bright daylight the imperfections are obvious and we can't stop looking at them. There was mess left on brand new windows and on our hearth which we had to spend ages scrubbing. He was on time, friendly and courteous. I doubt we would use again.

Danny is such a pleasant guy. I found his work excellent. First he plastered our bathroom, he was quick, his work very clean and respected my home, he cleans his own mess up before he leaves. He then plastered our bedroom ceiling fully as it had to be completely re-boarded due to water damage, he completed this without any issues. I would definitely use him again and highly recommend him.

Our builder arranged for Dan and Nick to plaster our loft conversion as his original plasterer damaged his back, I have to say from start until finish my wife and I couldn’t find fault in their work, their professionalism, work rate, communication and finish has been nothing but 110%, I would highly recommend both, just make sure you have lots of water and black coffee.

I recommended Danny to my customers whilst rewiring a 2 bed bungalow . The timing and communication were great between first and second fix and we were able to work around eachother. He finished on time for me to complete the job with a high quality and great workmanship! Will definitely recommend to my next clients and am looking forward to the next job together !

Very happy from start to finish. Danny came round to quote for the job, phoned up to say when the work could be done and turned up to do it all when he said he would. He did a great job and there was no mess for us to clean up afterwards. He’s a pleasant and professional chap who we would highly recommend
