Active Plastering

Chris quoted promptly and returned on the due date to complete the work. It was complicated, but he managed to complete it all in one day. He does what he says he will do, and was very honest with his professional advice. Highly recommended.

We needed a plasterer in a hurry. Chris popped round in the evening to discuss our job, and fitted us in within two days. Very pleased with the results!

I had a newly plaster-boarded bathroom ceiling which needed skimming. Chris managed to find time from a busy schedule to visit for a quote and gave great advice in a friendly manner. Quote was accepted and very reasonable. Job was done to high standard and exact timescale and no mess left behind. Would definitely use again.

Our very old Victorian living room ceiling collapsed, partially damaging the original cornice. Chris discussed the job with us to establish precisely how we wanted the repair to be conducted. We were keen to save the undamaged sections of the cornice. We were also keen that the house was not covered in dust during the job. Chris worked out a way of cutting down the remains of the old ceiling rather than simply tearing it down and thereby protected the undamaged sections of the cornice. He sealed off the area of work during the replastering. The end result was excellent. Chris paid great attention to clearing up the job after the plastering had been completed. He swept and mopped the floor and the walls. We had never before seen a builder take such fastidious care of a property after the completion of the main work. This was really impressive. Of particular note on this job was Chris's understanding of the problems presented by a listed building. He handled these difficulties with patience, confidence and skill.

​I decided to remove the wallpaper from the room I wanted to redecorate, and a large amount of plaster came off in the process. I had hoped to patch it up myself, but it got beyond my skills. I called Chris, who I had used before for a smaller job, and in the end we decided it would be best to get the entire room skimmed over, as well as some parts needing a bonding coat. We arrange a day for the job; Chris was not sure whether he could get it all done in the day, but in the end worked all through the day and completed it. This was one of the hottest days of the year, and a demanding day's work. I would have no hesitation in recommending Chris. The quality of his work is good, and he is very easy to have in the house.
