“We would highly recommend Mark for any plastering works required . He arrived on time, was tidy and provided great communication throughout the works as to progress etc. He re plastered our kitchen walls and ceiling, and door surround following a leak. It all looks brilliant; we are very pleased with it . We will definitely use him again when needed”
“Mark Gore responded to our Check a Trade enquiry first and with the help of photographs of the damage quickly gave a quote which we thought quite reasonable. Mark was helpful about timing, arrived on schedule and completed the work in the time stated. Very tidy and the plasterwork looks excellent. He charged the price he quoted. We would certainly ask him for help again.”
“Mark returned to do more plastering for us, this time it was hall, stairs and landing. Once again Mark did a great job and was very considerate to us and as always very friendly.”

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.
