Joe was amazing! His work was so good, we needed various rooms to be plastered and he completed them all as promised. He was also very tidy and cleaned up at the end of each day. We have no hesitation in recommending him to our friends and also your readers.

Joe fixed the damaged render at the front of our house – he did a great job and worked very quickly, matching in the new to old so his repair is practically impossible to see, He is clearly a very skilled plasterer and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him – you may have to wait though as he’s a very busy man!Thanks again Joe

Joe carried out all the internal plastering to my property. He also carried out the external rendering some of which was specialist Lime Render on a very old cottage which he had to build out in order to achieve a good standard of finish. Joe works in a very methodical, clean and tidy manner he is also courteous and polite. I can highly recommend Joe as a person and for the quality of his work.

Joe skimmed our playroom and hall, stairs and landing ceilings. From beginning to end he was a pleasure to work with. He arrived on time, was an incredibly clean and tidy worker and is very pleasant and friendly. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him to others and are already looking to book him for further work. He was recommended by another tradesman and I can see why. Excellent service.

Joe skimmed 2 ceilings for me in my old cottage. From start to finish he was a pleasure to deal with. He turned up on time for both the quote and the work to start. His work was fast efficient, tidy and the finish was great considering what he had to start with.I am asking him back to lime plaster a fireplace as a result.A credit to his profession.

Our builder introduced Joe to work on a large period property that was undergoing an entire renovation. The existing condition of the plaster was in a very poor state. Joe worked his craft throughout the entire building. His workmanship is excellent. The finish is entirely without blemish. Furthermore, a winter and spring down the line, there is virtually no cracking. Joe was a pleasure to have on site. Professional, cheerful and accommodating. No hesitation in recommending Joe.
