Chris plastered 4 ceilings in my daughters' newly acquired flat and sealed up an old fireplace. His work was excellent and he was very accommodating with time slots fitting in with other tradesmen. Two of them took Chris's cards as they were impressed with his work. Good value for money.

Chris hacked off the old plaster to brick and then re-plastered our staircase and hallways. He then re-decorated for us. He did an excellent job, with great attention to finish. We plan to use him again.

Chris spent a full day re-skimming the plaster on a part of our kitchen that had seen better days, including adding beading around the window and door. He was helpful with our questions and carried out his work professionally and to a very high standard. We were very pleased with the end result and would consider him excellent value for money. One point to note is that it took a while to get Chris to come to us as he was busy with other work commitments so you might want to give him plenty of notice.

We used Chris to replaster various rooms in our house. He was very accommodating when he came to quote, waiting for an hour or so when we had other tradesmen looking at other jobs. The work itself was carried out to a high standard and, as others have said, he was able to add on bits and pieces of extra work which cropped along the way. Incredibly good value for money.

Chris plastered our back bedroom recently and did an excellent job. Due to my own incompetence I only asked him to do half the room at first. When I realised the mistake Chris was really understanding and slotted the additional work in as soon as possible, gave us a very good price and sorted everything with the minimum of fuss. The work was to a high standard, he kept the house really tidy and we would definitely recommend him.

We just used Active Plastering for quite a big job in our flat including plastering newly constructed walls, areas where walls were removed, fiddly bits of ceiling, boxed in beams and blocked up doorways and new doorway openings. Chris provided a detailed quote and did a really great job, making sure everything looked perfect and patching up other holes and irregularities as he went, which was really helpful. We are really pleased with his work and definitely recommend Active Plastering.
