Amazing work. Skimming with my dad are excellent. They arrive on time, prep and cover all thr floors and explain what they will be doing. The get on with the job and leave the place as they found it. My walls are like silk, beautiful. I would definitely recommend Skimming with my Dad. 5⭐️
Absolutely lovely guys that have done a brilliant job! Nothing was a problem for them, even carrying 20+ very heavy insulation backed boards up to the top floor of our Victorian town house. The finish on the skim is genuinely a work of art. We’ve already asked them to quote us for a couple of other jobs that need doing. Thank you both so much!
Absolutely fabulous work and so professional! If you’re ever looking at getting plastering work done please make sure they’re the first people you get in touch with. So genuine and make you feel at ease, keep you updated on the work and to top it all off just such nice people. Cannot thank them enough!!
Rory and his dad turned up on the agreed day and time to plaster our media wall. I had contacted Rory a few weeks prior and he explained his work load, I guess people are right when they tell you you have to be prepared to wait for decent tradesmen, he actually managed to fit us in earlier than agreed. We couldn't have been happier with the work and to boot, what a smashing couple of blokes, very sociable while getting on with the job. I would not hesitate to use them for any future work and would highly recommend them.
Really happy with the work to my house and would 100% recommend. Communication was great the whole way through, they kept me updated and were always easy to get hold of if I had any questions. The job they did was amazing and the finish looks perfect, couldn’t be happier with the end results. They were also very tidy and respectful while working in the house. I couldn’t be happier with the end result and I’d 100% use them again!
Great service. Just got in touch last week and the work is all now complete. Quick to reply to messages, arrived on time, did a great job and left the place all clean and tidy. Apart from the excellent job done on our walls you wouldn't know he'd been. 100%recommend this plasterer.
