We had a problem with a ceiling as a result of some water coming through. Steve and his great team came within a couple of days, solved the problem and his prices were very reasonable
The walls in our spare room were in incredibly poor condition. After we removed the old wallpaper. SM Buck & Son was very helpful, they gave us a good quote, were able to come quickly, and did a high quality job. They filled the cracks and holes and plastered the walls to a high standard. They also removed the old carpet and offered some good advice. Would definetly recommend.
