Highlights
“Martin communicated well, turned up on time and did the job well. He wasn’t bothered about it being a relatively small job (1/2 a day) like many tradies! Would definitely recommend! I will keep his number on file.”
“Martin did an excellent job plastering the landing ceiling. Prompt, efficient and top quality work. An honest tradesman who looks after the customer. Would happily use this company again.”

Plaster Skimming
Awful. I posted a job, clearly stating my budget, this guy came over and quoted double that. told him no thanks. He kept bugging me, lowering his quote, then offered to do it at my budget for cash in hand and I would have to provide all materials. Told him no again. He kept emailing, texting and calling me, then offered to do it for my budget. Turned up with his dodgy looking behaving brother, started job then abandoned it leaving the house unsecured! Texted me saying, changed his mind, he's not doing it
