From bare walls to perfection: Thanks, Derek!

I recently had the pleasure of booking Derek, DDP Plastering to plaster my back bedroom, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the very beginning, he impressed me with his professionalism. He arrived on time for every appointment, and his communication was excellent throughout the project. Derek's work itself was truly exceptional. The finished walls and ceiling are flawless, a testament to his skill and attention to detail. He truly went above and beyond, offering valuable suggestions for how I could prepare the room beforehand, which saved me money in the long run. He also shared some creative ideas that I wouldn't have considered otherwise, which made the final result even better than I initially envisioned. Overall, I am thrilled with Derek's work and his approach. He is a true professional and a master of his craft. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch plasterer.

This is the third time I have asked Del to work at my house. Del had previously boarded and plastered my dining room and living room ceilings, and I was delighted with the results. Del is clearly a highly skilled Plasterer, who completes work to a very high standard. My Hallway was in a very poor condition, and now it's been transformed! Del is reliable, hard-working, and my house was exceptionally clean and tidy after he left each day. I highly recommend Del's work, and will definitely be having him back to work on my next room!

Furniture and floors were covered. At the end of each day, it was clear how hard he had worked as you could see a difference, but, there was no mess. Never had this before.

Del boarded and skimmed all the ceilings in my house. Del was prompt in coming out to view the job and sending over a quote. He started and finished the job on the exact dates he said he would, all work was done to a high-level of quality and he left the house very clean. The final bill was exactly what was set out in the quote. Del was very helpful throughout the process and answered all the questions I had about the work. I would definitely recommend Del to anyone considering this type of work.

Have hired Del for 2 jobs now, bedroom and bathroom, both rooms had the ceiling re-boarded, with walls skimmed/plastered. Also had soundproofing added to the party wall in the bathroom. Work has been carried out to a very high standard, beautiful finish, absolutely pleased, will be calling him back when I start renovating the kitchen. He’s easy to have around the house, shows up on time, works hard and cleans up all the mess at the end of each day. Highly recommend.

Del completed a job for us recently, preparing and plastering our entire hallway and landing (including some very awkward places to reach)! Del prepared the walls, carefully removing some old, very glued on wall covering before plastering. We had to interrupt the job due to an unexpected alteration to one of our doorways. Del worked with us and kept us informed to make sure we could get the job completed in a timely fashion. From beginning to end, Del was professional, friendly, very clean and tidy and punctual. He clearly knows his trade, did a fantastic job and was reasonably priced. Perfection is not too strong a word! We will be using Del again in the near future and have no hesitation in highly recommending Del.

Del was recommended to me by my plumber, he was prompt to return my call and came around on a Saturday morning to quote on some work, he provided me a professional quote quickly, he stuck to his timescales and work started as planned. The first thing he did was to lay down protective coverings throughout the work area and to the front door, at the end of the day these were packed away and the house was left in a clean state, he did this each day he was on site. Even when working outside he laid a cover over my driveway to maintain cleanliness. The job was finished on time and it looks excellent. Del sets the standards when it comes to professionalism, quality of work, and cleanliness. I would happily recommend DPP Plastering to anyone.

A late review due to personal circumstances. However, Derek came and quoted for a small bedroom with not so great walls once paper was off. He advised the way to proceed and my wife and I did more than half the removal work prior to Derek coming in. He and his assistant then removed more after all. For 3 days they worked solidly getting things to a point where they could do the plastering, cleaning up each day afterwards. No time to spare and after all their efforts they made a great job of leaving the place looking really good for painting etc. Good workers, no trouble and happy that they did what they did. Not the cheapest maybe, but certainly someone who will be sure you understand the job.

Derek has plastered several rooms in our home now, small and large (ceilings boarded/plastered, walls skimmed) and the quality of his work is 10/10. He's an incredibly hard worker and the finish he produces is superb... flawless every-single-time. He's also the tidiest plasterer I've ever used - dust sheets everywhere (even these are 100% clean and look like new), cleans up at the end of every day and leaves no mess whatsoever when the job is completed. He even hosed down the path from my front door to his vehicle! Price-wise I always get multiple quotes and DPP is neither the cheapest nor the most expensive - he seems to price just right. If you've never used a plasterer before, or would like to try someone new I can honestly say you would not be taking any kind of risk using this very professional company. BIG RECOMMENDATION.

Derek Poll T/A DDP Plastering. Derek skimmed the walls and reboarded the ceiling for us prior to having wardrobes etc installed. He was with us for 3 days and did a first class job, we were delighted with his work. He treated our house as if it was his own, checking at all times that everywhere was sheeted up. He cleaned up after himself, which is the first time ever that has happened. Derek is a perfectionist and the finish on the walls was just as smooth as glass. I would recommend him without hesitation and will be requiring his services again soon.

Great guy - a pleasure to have in the house. We will be knocking on his door again before too long, to get other rooms done. Highly recommended.

I found Del's details on Which? Trusted Trader and now wouldn't use any other plasterer. He has plastered two rooms for us so far (walls and ceilings) and we will be asking him to do others in due course. His standard of plastering is excellent, he is 100% reliable and is very clean and tidy (covering carpets, wiping down windows once the job is finished etc). His quotes and timescales are accurate and he offers very good advice about how best to do the job. I have found Del to be very hard working, polite and trustworthy and I would not hesitate to recommend him.
