Contacted Matt after a clump of pebble dash came down above my rear bedroom window. Matt came round promptly to assess, explain why, give options, things to be wary of, time job would take etc. Extremely thorough and professional. Provided a competitive quote and when could do. Job done over 2 mornings this week. Very efficient and tidy. Would thoroughly recommend. Many thanks Matt.

Matt plastered a ceiling. Very happy with the work, was very clean and punctual. Would highly recommend.
So, what can I say apart from the fact I still admire the rendering almost 1 year later. Matt's attention to detail and professionalism is superb. The rendering looks amazing...the transformation from pebbledashing was and is fantastic. Great customer service skills, great knowledge, great price....we definitely recommend him!
