IJW Plastering Services

Ian is a solid professional and one of the most honest tradesmen we’ve ever used. We needed several bedrooms reskimmed for our house in Cheltenham but we live in London so we had to manage the project remotely. Therefore, we needed a reliable and trustworthy plasterer who could visit the property and work completely unsupervised, and Ian’s pristine record really stood out. He was happy to work with the added logistics, and his prices were very reasonable too. He spent time protecting the surrounding area and kept us updated throughout with photos and calls, which we particularly appreciated being so far away. Ian has been plastering for more than two decades, and his flawless work was proof of it. But it was actually after we had paid Ian that his trustworthiness really shone through - hairline cracks had formed due to the unprecedented heatwaves drying out the plaster too quickly. Ian not only came back to inspect but ended up redoing practically all of it again because he wanted it to be absolutely 100% perfect. While he was doing that, he even started putting some mist coats on to help us out and skimmed additional areas that needed doing too, all after we’d paid in full, and working weekends to ensure our project wasn’t impacted. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone and will certainly be using him again in the future. Thank you so much Ian, you’re an absolute star!

Ian’s work is awesome - he does what he says, when he says he will do it and quality of his work is exceptional After being seriously let down by previous renderers with poor workmanship Ian has restored my faith that there are still honest, hardworking craftsmen who produce very high quality work Our project was really large and complex and Ian explained what he would be doing and advised us all the way through. Ian was an absolute pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend him - thank you Ian

Thoroughly recommend Ian. He started work very promptly after we accepted his (very reasonable) quote and completed the job in very good time, keeping us well informed about progress at every stage. The work (re-rendering the front and side gable of our end-of- terrace property) was done to an extremely high standard. Ian is an extremely nice person and completely honest and reliable - a very skilled craftsman.

Very happy with Ian's work. Several sections of failed plaster in an old house needed to be stripped back and replaced. Ian carried out the work professionally and to a very high standard. Would be happy to use him again.

Having had more than my fair share of bad experiences with tradesmen, I can honestly say what a breath of fresh air Ian has been. Ian has done a first class job for us and is obviously a highly skilled craftsman. From day one Ian has kept us fully informed of the work, been meticulously tidy around the property, polite and very considerate of neighbours throughout the work. Ian completed the work within the time he proposed and within budget, his work ethic has been the talk of the street, "the man is a machine"! Very highly recommended.

On the initial visit Ian took time to explain the options and what he'd recommend He ensured the floor and window blind were thoroughly protected before starting and completely cleared up when the job was finished. The plastering was simply amazing, a perfect finish which we hadn't thought possible given the state of the walls beforehand The work was completed to time We would recommend Ian wholeheartedly.

I employed Ian to plaster several rooms in my house after finding him on the Which Trusted Traders website. The reviews on the website for Ian are glowing and I am very pleased to report that he lived up to the fantastic reviews. Ian’s communication is great - quick to respond, keep you completely in the loop and updated, clearly lays out what the work involves and costs. Ian is very skilled at what he does and clearly prides himself on doing a great job; I was very happy with all the work carried out and the builders I had on-site commented on how great the finish was. I found Ian to be very professional, tidy, easy to work with and a nice chap. Would highly recommend using Ian.

Ian went above and beyond in every aspect of the job. We were impressed the whole way from start to finish. He really takes pride in his work, and you can see he is a natural in his craft. Great communication, friendly, tidy, and always on time. Everything was done in a quick, excellent, and tidy manner. Really impressed and would thoroughly recommend to anyone looking to have a full house plastered or a repair, or freshly skimmed walls.

Ian repaired the render on our property and then repainted the entire house. He provided clear quotes and time frames, and was excellent at communicating with us before and during the work. He sorted out the scaffolding needed and resolved a change in the scaffolders' invoice compared to their initial quote, for which we were very grateful. The finished job is excellent. We will be using him again.

We chose IJW Plastering Services based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews on Which? Trusted Traders, and we couldn’t be happier with the quality of his work. Ian applied bonding and 2 coats of skim to an old artex ceiling and 3 walls in an open-plan kitchen / lounge diner. The job was completed in under 2 days and the finish is excellent, even in the corners and around sockets & switches. Ian came to give a quote within a couple of days of the initial inquiry and started the job just over a week later. He kept us informed throughout, arrived on time each day, worked incredibly hard and gave us helpful advice on managing the drying process. We will definitely use Ian again when we next need any plastering, and would happily recommend him to others.
