“A friend recommended Riley to me (to plaster the walls of a bedroom) and it turned out to be the same Riley who artexed every ceiling of my house 20-25 years ago! Very impressed with the finish of the walls; beautifully smooth. Riley is a good communicator - he kept in touch with me over arrival times etc, and was punctual and reliable. He is a very friendly chap who is easy to have around. I’ll definitely be calling Riley back.”
“Second time we have used Riley. Excellent communication and received a couple of options to fix the kitchen ceiling following water damage from above. Clean and tidy, and completed to a high standard I would definitely recommend.”

Riley did an outstanding job helping bring an this old house back to life. Amazing plastering and moulding work
Couldn't rate Riley high enough. We were in a urgent need of work after being let down. He rearranged his schedule to help us out and for a very reasonable price. The work done was fulfilled in a quicker time than quoted and to a very high standard. There was some additional work that needed to be carried out with the replastering of a ceiling and again this was done with great care and attention to detail. He worked longer days to ensure all was done to allow us to move on to the next stage. Overall very grateful for his dedication and efficiency. Would recommend his services to all.
Riley helped me out to replace an old dropping ceiling in a tenanted property that needed doing urgently. Full replacement completed in 3 days. Great job and totally reliable.

Riley was very punctual and delivered an amazing smooth wall finish from what was a very rough patched area with plenty of exposed brick. Communication was also very good, texting me to inform he's on his way and everything. Thank you for your help.

From start to finish I was really impressed with the communication. From arriving and talking through the options to completion and payment. Very smooth process and so was the ceiling.

I initially had one ceiling skimmed to cover unwanted artex. Riley was very good, he explained the whole process. He prepared and protected the room, cleaned up afterwards to a satisfactory standard. He gave timeframe and indications to know when it was ok to paint the ceiling. I was so happy with his work, I called him back to do two more ceilings. I would most definitely recommend his work, and professionalism.

Verified by CheckatradeInstalling Plaster Cornice
Riley completed installing a plaster cornice for us in a bedroom we recently knocked two rooms through into one . We are very happy with the finish. He was very accommodating in getting it exactly how we wanted it from the ceiling. I would highly recommend Riley for any plaster or cornice works. We have already asked him to quote us for more internal work.

Very friendly and brilliant quality of work. I'll certainly use Newlook Artexing & Coving again in the future

Excellent communication, always on time, very conscientious
After reading the endless positive reviews about Riley, I was so pleased that he did my work. I needed my hallway and stairwell painted and he did an excellent job. He was very honest where there was imperfections and fixed them with ease. He did a perfect job and I’d definitely use Riley again
