RB Plastering & Damp-Proofing Ltd

Ryan and his team arrived on time and did an excellent job on a ground floor bedroom, which is partly underground. The main wall was tanked 30 years ago, but the tanking had now failed and had spread to an adjacent wall with an electric socket. Ryan replaced the socket as well a proofing both walls and also had all the skirting boards replaced by his joiner. The standard of the plastering work and skirting is excellent. The whole thing was completed in two and a half days and all rubbish was removed. Overall we were very impressed.

Had damp proof & joist replacement. Ryan & his team were pleasant & efficient. Really pleased with the work carried out. Thanks guys.

Had Ryan recommended to me through family and he was fantastic throughout, he even picked up the job after the sale fell through on an initial property I'd had him look at. Work was sorted out as soon as he could get access to the property, and he sourced additional contractors as soon as I found and tried to get other work carried out during the same period. He managed to sort out quite serious patches of damp throughout the property over just a few days and I'm really happy with the end result. Clear comms throughout and I really appreciated the updates he provided over the days he worked, making sure I understood what was being done and why. Can't recommend him highly enough, he was honest with the price - reducing it when changes to dimensions were identified - and he made the whole process of moving to a property that required quite intensive work as easy as it can be.

We'd had a DPC injected to a wall in our home by a national company 2 years ago but saw that the damp area hadn't dried out. The company advised that plaster removal & installation of a membrane was required. I wasn't happy with the company so I looked elsewhere to have the job completed. I found RB Plastering & Damp Proofing through 'Which Trusted Trader' & after reading all of the 5* reviews sent an email explaining my situation. Ryan called me within an hour & within days came to assess the job explaining in detail what he would do. He followed up with a detailed quote by email & said he could do the work the following week. We didn't seek a 2nd quote from elsewhere because Ryan impressed us. He was very professional knowledgeable & friendly & the price was reasonable. Ryan & his men arrived as arranged & got to work immediately. It was a messy job but he had advised us how best to prepare for it including taking our dog out while the noisiest part of the job was going on. He showed us the membrane prior to plastering & explained how it worked & how it would dry out. They were quick & efficient & cleaned up the mess very well. The skirting was installed the next day finishing the job beautifully. Invoice & guarantee followed by email. Our only regret was that we'd not found Ryan originally. We thought using a large national company was the obvious choice but it was a mistake on this occasion. We have no hesitation in recommending RB Plastering & Damp Proofing

I have had several jobs done on my house at the same time and I wish all the teams could have been as professional and hard working as Ryan and his team. From the initial quote right through to the end of several jobs I asked Ryan to do, he has been extremely informative making sure I understand every step of the process and that I was happy with everything. I was amazed at the precision they had when laying the new floor! I totally recommend Ryan and his team for damp proof and plastering works.

Due to results from an independent survey carried out on behalf of the Buyer of my property. The surveyor recommended further investigation & I required advice & a quote for any remedial works that may be necessary. I contacted Ryan by phone. He spent a great deal of his time discussing the potential issues. Within 24 Hours Ryan attended my property & did a thorough check.He was knowledgeable, polite, honest & completely put me at ease. He talked through the works required. More importantly, the works which didn't need doing to avoid being charged for costly & unnecessary repairs. Ryan spent a great deal of time explaining the issues he'd found & how to rectify them at a level I was able to understand. Ryan didn't charge me for his visit to assess my property, which he was entitled to do, which inspired great confidence. Within a few hours Ryan forwarded me a written assessment & quote for works, with the opportunity to discuss anything I was unsure about. Ryan & RB Plastering & Damp Ltd fully deserve their Which magazine Trusted Trader Status. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his company to friends & family. Mrs Bernadette Potts-Byrne Salford

We recently moved home and our survey stated that we needed damp proofing. I've never had to do this before and was very unsure of what was involved. Ryan could not have been more helpful, clear or patient with all my queries! He visited the property before we moved in and provided a very detailed report, he then kindly took me through the report on the phone and even followed up with another visit once we moved in to the property to show us what was needed before the work started. On top of all of this Ryan's quotes were incredibly clear and easy to understand. He broke them down by work that was necessary to do and areas that we may wish to consider in the future. When he met us in the property he also suggested cheaper things that we could do in certain rooms ourselves to test if they worked before getting him to damp proof them (he suggested we invest in a dehumidifier in one room for example rather than charging us to damp proof it). Once the work started Ryan and his team could not have been more professional, thorough or hard working. As an aside - we had to get our home re-wired after it was damp proofed and I overheard the electrician mentioning to his colleague how impressed he was with the quality of plastering that Ryan and his team carried out! It was an absolute pleasure dealing with Ryan and I can not recommended him highly enough.

Ryan provided us with a very reasonable quote for work to fix a damp patch on an interior wall in our dining room. This was a job that needed to be done ahead of wider renovation work and he and his team did it very professionally, quickly and at a good price for us. Excellent communication throughout, very polite and considerate on the day and generally just really straightforward to deal with. No complaints and we’d recommend him to friends and family.

We contacted RB plastering and damp proofing back in October when we purchased a house that needed a full damp course treatment. As first-time renovators we were concerned that we needed a trusted tradesman that would not only be reliable but talk us through the process to make sure we understood the do's and don'ts of damp proofing. Ryan came to take a look at the work and quoted us for the work within a week, he talked us through the process really clearly and was on hand to answer any questions, not just at the start of the project but throughout. He was clear, helpful and completely reliable, an experience we've lacked using other tradespeople. We couldn't be happier with the work he'd done and honestly don't think we'll find tradespeople as good as him and his team ever again. They came and did the work providing regular updates and putting us at ease if things of our doing unrelated to the damp proofing didn't go to plan. He's made our renovation journey so much less stressful and we are so grateful that we decided to use his team - we know that we have a reliable tradesman that we can count upon if anything needs fixing in future, which knowing the quality of his work will be very unlikely. I think these reviews are often a deciding factor when asking for quotes and that's why felt it so important to make sure people know just how fantastic RB really are.

We had the team out to do our damp proof, in a property that we had just purchased. They arrived when he said he would to quote. Explained what was needed and why and also helped with preventing damp in the future. We received the quote when he said we would and he started the work when he said he would. The lads were so friendly polite and professional. They kept us updated throughout the work and also gave us further advise which we then went on to do. When they finished every day they tidied up which we didn’t expect as it was an empty house. They took pride in their work and the work was done to an exceptional standard. When they left on the last day we thanked them and they thanked us for giving them our business. They are genuinely great hard working lads. We will be using them again on the next one. Thanks again

An excellent job was done and all left clean and tidy. Couldn’t have been more pleased. But what really stood out was how they solved problems. This to me is the measure between a good company and an outstanding one. ! On their first visit after knocking all the plaster off etc, they discovered I had two door architraves, the joiner who was coming later had to be delayed whilst they sorted this . To cut a long story short this meant they had to stop work on a job they had only expected to last one day, and they were fully booked up. To overcome this they asked if they could come on a Sunday. Therefore the customer expecting them on Monday wasn’t delayed,and I was sorted. Excellent, excellent customer service and a hob really well done. Thanks.19

Ryan came to have a look at the damp proofing in my house after another company had done some repairs. Although he had bad news for me, his advice was very helpful. I was away whilst he and his team were working, but I felt very informed as he'd send videos of the progress every day. The plastering is nice and smooth, and everything has been sealed and finished nicely.

Ryan and his team did an excellent job for us. He diagnosed the problem and provided clear information on the treatment required. He also explained the issues they don't deal with and suggested an alternative. They carried out the work exactly as specified in the quote. They were professional, efficient and friendly, and cleaned up afterwards. Ryan provided a guarantee on completion. I would recommend RB Plastering and Damp Proofing to anyone requiring similar damp treatment services.

I can not praise Ryan and John enough. My initial call was unanswered but Ryan rang back within 10 minutes and arranged to come and see what we needed. Ryan arrived, checked the damp spots and explained how it had got there and what the remedy would be. He then sent me the quote within a day which I accepted straight away. They worked quickly and efficiently trying to cut the mess to a minimum and removing everything as they finished each day. Ryan explained all the processes involved clearly and in a way I could understand. Their workmanship was excellent and quickly finished, with the carpenter (who was also excellent) finishing off the same day. I would recommend this company to anybody who asks as they are extremely professional and well worth the price quoted.

Ryan and team worked on our main bedroom and box room damper-proofing and plastering. The interaction from start to finish was superb; Ryan was very knowledgable and talked us through each step and the reasoning behind what work needed to be done. He sent the quote very quickly afterwards and an approximate due date to start the work. We were kept informed of any changes and the prep we needed to complete before work started. When the work was being done, Ryan sent us daily updates which was great as we were away on holiday. The work was completed swiftly and to a brilliant standard. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Ryan and his team again and would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing these services. Thank you!

Ryan was very attentive to all aspects of the job from quotation through to damp proof insurance. Great job, no mess. Highly recommended.

Ryan and the team were very efficient and tidy and the finish of there work is first class would recommend this company to anyone. After the job was finished Ryan meets up with you to make sure your happy with the work done by his team before paying the invoice.

RB PLASTERING HAVE JUST COMPLETED WORK ON MY PROPERTY. Great job done, hard to find trustworthy work men that do what they say they will do. Turned up when expected and carried out the work I needed to a very high standard and at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended

Ryan and his team were extremely thourogh and professional in their approach to our project which involved damp proofing our kitchen as well as some other works. They kept us informed every step.of the way and were very flexible when we needed them to be in terms of dates. Highly professional finish and excellent communication with the other tradesmen involved in the project who I would also highly recommend. Many thanks.

I booked Ryan and his team for a second time as I was very pleased with the work completed on my damp course in Summer 2018. This time, his team replastered my upstairs, boarded the ceiling in my first bedroom, and removed the plaster from the stairwell, reboarded and plastered this area. The quote was detailed and he explained the process, with a breakdown of cost. The cost of the works was as quoted. I definitely recommend Ryan and his team as they are considerate, always go the extra mile, and provide excellent service. The work is more expensive than other plasterers, but without a doubt you will get high quality and will know you are in safe hands.

Ryan treated our dining room for rising damp. From start to finish we were aware of, and highly impressed by his professionalism, ethics and the quality of his work. We would not hesitate to recommend Ryan to anyone. A job we had been dreading having done, turned out to be a great experience!
