    Plaster Skimming

    Ben was reliable, neat, tidy and did a great job at a good price. We will definitely ask him to do more work for us

    Internal Rendering

    General care and cleanliness needs addressing. Noticed contractor hadn’t covered all surfaces to protect my floors and stairs from plaster spills. Dust covers that were used left dust on bed sheets, so they had to be removed for washing. Had to lend vacuum cleaner to contractor to clean up mess on bedroom carpets. Some plaster spills were found on bed frame and walls. Actual work was good, left good advice regarding painting ceilings at a later date. But as I said general care of surrounding surfaces, not good. Address that and rating could be higher.

    Sorry to hear you're not happy with the cleaning. As you know, everything was covered with dust sheets, I'm a plasterer so of course my dust sheets will be dusty. I did ask you to remove the beds from the bedrooms bud you hadn't so I had to cover them and work around them. I used your vaccum breifly to get a bit of dust and then used my own and you know I did, I actually went to Screwfix and bought a brand new one to do it. You know that too. I also asked you to check everything before I left which you did and was more than happy with and you paid me straight away. Plastering is a dirty job and I have countless reviews on other job lead sites with 100% recommendation. You could of called me back as I had a job 3 doors down from you and was there the next day. Who I might add left me a glowing review. You said if there was any issues you'd give me call. But instead you leave me this review. Thanks for the work though it's much appreciated!
