  • Patch up 2 holes and skim Kitchen ceiling

    10Verified Review

    Matt turned up on time and throughout the job was friendly and courteous. Matt left the site clean and tidy after finishing the job and he patched an additional hole and skimmed the area under the stairs, that I hadn’t even considered needed doing. I would recommend Skimfast for anybody needing a Plasterer - Excellent!

  • Skim plaster finish to new plasterboard wall

    10Verified Review

    Everything from first contact with Matt to the completion of the work was straightforward with no issues. On arrival protective sheeting was laid over the floor of the work area and the room was was left super clean and tidy on departing. The finished work is to a very high standard and we cannot thank Matt and his colleague enough for a top job.

    Fantastic craftsmanship, polite, tidy, trustworthy - the boys have it all. They are super accommodating, quick to finish to a high standard. This is the second piece of work I’ve given to Skimfast, and we are already looking at the next project together. Highly recommend!

  • Plastering kitchen and utility.

    10Verified Review

    Matt did an excellent job of plastering a kitchen and utility area in a house that I am renovating. The timescale on the job suddenly changed from 4 to six down to two weeks and Matt fitted me in on his holiday week to keep me on track. The work was excellent and Matt is very clean and I had not clearing up to do as is the case with some plastering.
