“*HIGHLY RECOMMEND* Ian has been working on a large project undertaking building, groundworks and plastering over the past few months. Having been let down badly by a previous contractor we have needed to change or adapt from the original plans during the project. Ian has been fantastic to deal with, very knowledgable, good skillset and flexible to change. Ian has been extremely hard working, stayed on late to finish off work and has never let me down. I highly recommend Ian and will use again when I next have a project.”

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.

Highlights
Detailed reviews
My journey was a disappointing one. The end result was less than pleasing and I have pictures to upload which is a shame I can't share here. Basically you can see every room he has worked on has remnants of where he swiped with the plastering. There are no clean finishes in any of the rooms. Since I've never had plastering done before I didn't really know what to expect, I thought after I painted the rooms it would be okay, but the plastering sticks out. Friends and family pointed out the job is very poor too, hence why I'm writing the review now.
Shocking damp, plastering issues, patio door's dropping, roofing unfit, leak around sky light.

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.
