Active Plastering

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.
