Active Plastering

Chris from Active Plastering was great. Excellent comms, reasonable quote, perfect job and additional support and advice. Can't recommend highly enough.

Replastered our bedroom ceiling. Very pleased with the work which was done quickly and efficiently and with a good finish. Room left tidy. This is the second ceiling they have done for us.

Using Chris for the 2nd time, this time for a mich bigger job. Fantastic quality, real attention to detail, friendly and good value for money. Highly recommend. Will use again.

We needed the newly boarded walls and ceiling of an entrance hall plastering and painting. From the first visit and throughout Chris was gently genial, attentive to our detailed demands and gave us wise advice without being in the least pushy. He and his team produced a superb finish sooner than we could expect and exactly to budget. From our initial meeting we felt able to trust his judgement and professionalism. We weren’t wrong. We had to be away when the work was undertaken. He kept us in touch with the work’s progress and left the place clean and dust-free. We would certainly use him again - and are making plans already.

Chris and Neil over-boarded two of our 1910 detached house and skim coated two other ceilings. Chris came over to the house to look at our ceilings and give us an accurate quote with multiple options for the problem-ceilings. He was very detailed in the explanations and send us a link with examples of previous work he has done. I personally found this very help full to understand what the different options entailed. Active Plastering came and fixed our ceilings in a quick succession. Chris and neil where very friendly people to have over in the house and they take good care of our belongings and left every room tidy. We where pleasantly surprised that they also took care of the rubble and garbage. The whole process was very easy and stress free. We feel very positive about the quality and the prices of Active Plastering services and would highly recommend them to friends and family.

We were extremely pleased with the quality of work carried by Chris and Neil. We had a tight schedule to have the work completed which the team achieved. Our small bedroom/office was plastered – walls and ceiling. Where the walls had suffered due to a previous damp problem the plaster was removed back to the brickwork and options on the possible solutions were carefully explained. We would, without hesitation, recommend Active Plastering.

I thought Chris was very professional from my initial enquiry to starting and completing the work. Chris and Neil skilfully over-boarded a ceiling and managed to retain original coving to leave a high-quality finish. Chris and Neil are pleasant, friendly and patient and in my experience are a great company to deal with.

Active Plastering did an excellent job with my ceilings, which look so much better now. There was a lot of texture on them before but now you wouldn’t be able to tell. I communicated with Chris about the job who updated me with pictures of the work and kept me informed. They were always efficient and pleasant to deal with, and Chris even kindly fixed a little issue I had with the flat even though he didn’t have to. I’d certainly recommend them.

We've used Active Plastering (Chris and Neil) now on three jobs. The first was to skim a room and ceiling, so as to fix a botched job from a previous plasterer. Chris was amazing: understanding, professional, respectful and clear in his communication. He carefully remedied the mess he was given to start with and did a perfect job (I'm a perfectionist, and characteristically anxious about this stuff). The second two jobs were decorating jobs. Again, Chris and Neil dealt with everything from the initial discussion, quote, attendance (on time, as agreed), communication, decorating work and invoicing with the professionalism and attention to detail that you'd expect. Most importantly, it was no bother having Chris and Neil in the house: easy to chat to, very patient with my changes of mind and questions, and respectful. All in: you get what you pay for and as long as they'll put up with me again, I wouldn't use anyone else.

Chris and Neil have worked very hard renovating and painting the back of our house and a front wall Unfailingly cheerful, readily tackling problems which cropped up, helping above and beyond expectations. A pleasure to have here Chris provided the most detailed and helpful quotations we've ever had, excellent communications and always coming at the agreed time. Site left tidy and clear We have no hesitation in recommending Chris of Active Plastering

After a bit of a disaster removing old tiles needed some help fast to avoid a project stalling completely. Chris responded immediately , gave an estimate within a few hours and fortunately for me had a cancellation that I could fill on the next day. Arrived bang on time and did a great job for a fair price - I hope to use Chris on the other projects we have planned for this year . Fully recommended!

We had to solve a damp problem in a bedroom. Chris and his co-worker dealt with the damp problem and raked the wet plaster, installed insulated plaster board on two external walls. They then plastered them before painting the whole room. The work was done with ultimate professionalism throughout. What we liked the most about the team is that kept the house fairly clean throughout the work and helped restore the surrounding areas to their former state before leaving. Finally, Chris is very communicative. He kept us informed about the work even during the plaster drying period.

Active Plastering have just completed installing 20sq m of new ceiling and plastering an area of the wall. The work was completed on time and I was impressed by the diligence of the workers, their care and attention, together with the time spent clearing up both at the end of each day but especially on the completion of the work.

Active Plastering team completed the installation of a new ceiling as agreed in one day with the minimum of disruption to the household. The new ceiling is excellent and ready for painting in a few days. The team were helpful and careful in moving furniture and the whole area was meticulously cleaned before departure.

We search first on Which Trusted Traders because we have always had good experiences and no hassle with the suppliers we have used. Chris Flack of Active Plastering Ltd was no exception, who has just completed decorating our lounge and dining room (January 2023). Chris visited us to assess the work and quickly provided a detailed written quotation, together with a General Information document which specified the work they perform on every job to protect the customer’s house and to ensure that they work to a high standard. All very reassuring. They started work on the promised date, some water leak stains on the lounge ceiling were treated and the decorating of ceilings, walls and paintwork was all completed to a high standard. Chris and Neil were very polite and friendly, cleaned everything up at the end of each day and helpfully moved some furniture back so we could use our lounge in the evenings. The work was completed ahead of schedule and we are very happy with the results, so will recommend Chris to friends and family.

Excellent job replacing bathroom ceiling - completed within the stated time frame. Easy to get hold of and easy to deal with, I'll definitely use Chris for any future plastering work.

We have used Active Plastering twice, both times for collapsed lathe and plaster ceilings in our house which was built in the 1840s in London. Apart from being a very personable and pleasant man, Chris Flack works quickly, skilfully and efficiently and charges a fair and reasonable price for his work. Everything is sealed off for what is a very messy job. He also employs equally pleasant people who are very hard-working. We would highly recommend him if you are in the unfortunate position of having a collapsed ceiling.

Used Active Plasterers to board and skim a downstairs bathroom. They came on time, fitted in with my schedule, were polite and very helpful. The finish on the plastering is first rate and they keep the site clean. Can't recommend Chris and his team highly enough.

We found Active Plastering on the Which Website so were happy to give them a call. The room we wanted decorated was in an exceptionally bad condition and the space that was available to work in was very limited, but despite this Chris and Neil worked extremely well and completed work a day earlier than was expected. We asked them if they would consider putting up some shelves whilst they were there and they agreed even though they were not expecting the extra work. We are very pleased and will use them again at any time we need work done.

Chris and Neil attended my property after extensive damage was caused by upstairs neighbour's undetected slow water leak in my kitchen ceiling. The ceiling was professionally repaired and re-plastered. The ceiling and walls re-painted. Chris and Neil did their best to keep mess and dust under control. They worked professionally as a team. Were on time and scheduled all work keeping to timescale. They also checked in following the initial prep work to ensure ceiling was drying effectively for next phase and completion of work. They were pleasant and professional. Very happy with their work and would highly recommend them.

Chris plastered 5 rooms for me and even went out of his comfort zone to level up the floor for one of our rooms. Chris is an excellent plasterer who is incredibly reliable, tidy and professional. He always arrives on time, does exactly what he initially said he would do when discussing possible work, and he sticks to his initial price quotes and timeframe. He always highlighted any issues and gave me a quote if any additional work was needed. Chris also introduced us to an excellent coving specialist who did a great job. Without Chris and Neil’s help our decoration work would have been a lot harder. I would like to thank both of them for their hard work and a great job done at a reasonable and well-deserved price.

I would highly recommend Active Plastering for any plastering or decorating services. As well as completing the work to an exceptionally high standard they were clean tidy and always punctual.

Advice and work done was excellent. He arrived to look at the job when he said and discussed what needed to be done. He sent a quote quickly and did the work as soon as he could (even slotting me in earlier) so I could continue my decorating. The work was done with care and consideration, leaving a superb finish and they cleaned up well afterwards.

Chris plastered our small spare bedroom - he visited to give us a quote and was very clear about what it included (which I always appreciate as it means no nasty surprises). He was thoughtful about not treading plaster around the rest of the house and did a good job. Very considerate to have in our home as well - he did the job over 1-and-a-half days and worked really hard and consistently. Thank you, Chris.

The scope of the work was to skim over existing Artex on hall and landing ceiling. From the initial quote through to completing the work, the service was excellent. Chris was efficient in assessing the job and sending an accurate quote, he committed to a date to undertake the work and delivered work of high quality. They worked hard whilst here and spent time tidying up before they left. The whole service was very professional and hassle-free.
