Phil Hunter recently skimmed the bedroom ceilings for us and did a fantastic job. Professional from start to finish, arrived exactly when he said he would, kept us updated throughout, and his communication was clear and straightforward. All work was finished to a very high standard. It’s obvious Phil takes pride in his craft, and it really shows in the results. Reliable tradespeople can be hard to find, but Phil is definitely one of them. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for plastering work and will certainly be using him again in future.

Detailed reviews
These are the individual reviews we hold for Phil Hunter Plastering, including the highlights above. The 65 headline total is the review volume reported across public review sources.
Paul and Phil have recently skimmed five ceilings including boarding three of them, and they have done a very professional job. They came when they said they would, kept us informed about the work and left the house tidy each day. I think we were lucky to have found them and would like them to do some further work. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
Really great. Its about the basics really, they respond to email, text and phone calls. They do what they say they will and on the agreed date. They do a good job at a fair price. Both Phil and Paul are friendly, conscientious and courteous. I'd recommend them with confidence.
