Derek is a friendly, highly skilled, and honest plaster whose work is exceptional. I cannot recommend him enough. We needed some difficult plastering work around the house because previous builders/roofers had done botched jobs. Initially, I was sceptical of the 5-star reviews and no photos (at the time of writing), but I could see common themes running through all the reviews left, so I decided to get a quote. Derek came around to give us a quote and spent a lot of time talking to us about how he would perform the work and any potential issues that could arise. We realised within a few minutes that he was the right person for the job; he had amazing attention to detail and was a perfectionist (two qualities you really want when traders work on your property). When Derek came round to do the work, he covered all flooring and furniture to avoid dust going everywhere and, after finishing each day, cleaned up after himself, leaving no mess behind. The quality of the finished job is exceptional. I could not find a single issue with his work; it is perfect and almost a shame to paint over! He is very honest; after he completed the job, he said the work was a little less than expected and charged us less than he originally quoted, which was a first for a tradesperson. Now that I have seen his work first-hand, I will never use another plaster other than Derek.
