Highlights
"I highly recomend Jay. He knows his profession. He is quick and reliable, keep all clear and tidy. He did plastering and skimm and then he painted whole room. I am glad I found him because his multitask saved my time to look for different professionals to complete all those jobs. Instead that I had all done by one professional company. Definitely I will call him for next projects."
"Jay was brilliant. His work was very professional and his finish excellent. I would highly recommend."

I will be calling Jay again in the near future to do some more work for me I have already told him this."

We have had various plasterers throughout our house renovation this year and Jay is by far the best, we wish we had found him at the start of the renovation. The work he has done is fantastic and he is on time and works non stop to get the job done. He also helped with solutions to some awkward spaces that needed plastering and we are extremely pleased with the work he has done for us.

Jay cut and replaced an area of damaged ceiling board, skimmed the whole ceiling and returned to paint the ceiling when the plaster was dry. Very professional and prompt from the quote through to completion of all the work. He did a really good job in restoring the ceiling after a water leak from the upstairs flat and left the place tidy, cleaning up at each stage of the work. I would use this company again. Thankyou.

Jay was a true professional. He was very quick to respond to my initial query and was able to provide a quote almost straight away. I was very impressed how well he worked, very clean and tidy. I cannot fault the plastering, it is drying really well, very smooth and no cracks. I will definitely use Jay again for future work. I wish all trades people were this good. Top guy

From the very first meeting with Jay, he was professional and courteous. He gave us sound advice and provided a full estimate based on calculations as opposed to just coming up with a number! He was able to start as planned and finshed within schedule. His workmanship is exceptional, he was very polite throughout and clean in all the areas he worked. We will use Jay again as needed and would not hesitate in recommending him.

Jay recently completed some work on a bedroom for us and I am extremely impressed. Jay arrived sharply at 8am each morning and completed all work to a very good standard. He was very neat and tidy with the work, not always easy when working with plaster! Very polite and worked extremely hard to complete work on time and to a good standard. Would highly recommend
