LucyTrustATrader5.0 rating

We’ve used Pat on several occasions and he’s always been excellent. Even on the small, last-minute job he did for us recently, he went above and beyond. He's meticulous, tidy, and nothing is ever a problem. I will always use him and would highly recommend him to anyone.

Excellent service from Pat. He was quick to start the work, went above any beyond and the room and ceiling look great. Pat removed the old collapsed lath and plaster ceiling, saving the original coving, replaced the ceiling and repaired a blown wall. Really happy with the result - very easy to work with.

Pat carried out plastering works throughout my property. The work was carried out with great care and a brilliant finish. Pats experience really showed as some of the works were more tricky than expected. Great job would highly recommend!

Rose French5.0 / 5 ·

Pat comes highly recommended, not just for the obvious, exceptional plastering skills and global building knowledge, he is also very professional, polite and tidy. Not to mention how he will always go the extra mile. He has worked in all of my families homes and they in turn have also recommended him to their friends and in-laws. Many thanks Pat

Verified by CheckatradeExcellent Plasterer in Bromley

Delighted with the work completed in my through lounge including; boarding a door and serving hatch, replastering walls and two ceilings, and adding sharp edges to the window surrounds. There were large areas that needed taking back to the brick due to crumbling and blown plaster and one ceiling had multiple cracks. All work was carried out with attention to detail and confidence that comes from years of experience. Pat was also able to put me in touch with a trusted electrician, plumber and carpenter who all had the same high standard and fair pricing. Absolutely would recommend.

Couldn’t recommend enough. Pat went out of his way to get the job done before my family came home from holiday. A very tight schedule. Always on time and a great price too. I worked in construction for some years and Pat is a proper tradesman who doesn’t cut corners and works hard

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.
