Got in contact with Ian after being let down by 2 other plasterers. I had the hall stairs and landing re-skimmed and both ceilings over boarded. The price was very reasonable, he was on time everyday and the finished job was outstanding. Ian left the job spotless each day. If your after a top quality plasterer Ian is your man. Would highly recommend very skilled plasterer. Thanks again Ian.

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.

Got in contact with Ian after being let down by 2 other plasterers. I had the hall stairs and landing re-skimmed and both ceilings over boarded.
Ian did an excellent job plastering two rooms and my hallway. He arrived on time everyday and left the rooms spotlessly clean. His work was to the highest standard! And I would definitely recommend his services for quality and tidyness! 5 stars from start to finish, thanks Ian.
