We contacted Rusi to plaster one of our bedrooms and paint the walls throughout the house. He arrived promptly at the agreed time, clearly explained the work required, and provided a fair and transparent quote. We were confident in his expertise and decided to go ahead. Rusi completed the job efficiently, to a very high standard, and left everything spotless afterwards. We are absolutely delighted with the results. He is friendly, reliable, and extremely professional, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for any size of project. Thank you again for your outstanding service!

Detailed reviews
Rusi is a fantastic plasterer! He has boarded and plastered our whole house and he’s done a fantastic job! We bought a 1930’s semi detached house that needed renovating and we have stripped the whole house back to bare brick, Rusi’s plastering has such a smooth finish, it was my favourite part of doing a room - getting to paint on the fresh plaster. Would definitely recommend Rusi he’s really friendly, really reliable and does a brilliant job!
Rusi is wonderful. Great, smiling, very punctual and dedicated. Ready to help. He renovated my kitchen and bathroom after a flood, helped me find a plumber to fix a leak. He installed drywall, removed wallpaper, plastering and painted. He came at the promised time and finished the job on time. He cleaned and helped me put the furniture back in its place. It is a real pleasure to have this good and hardworking man enter your home.

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.
Check the TrustMark registerNever pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
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.
