Work 2026 

C.N Plastering

Chris did a fabulous plastering of two ceilings  and completed a super  job .. Left the work areas clean and tidy .. Use his skills without any concerns

Brilliant Plasterer

I had Chris in to replaster the walls in both bedrooms around installation of our new wardrobes as he had been recommended by our neighbours who had used him a number of times.  
Very professional, turned up as agreed and took great care to keep the job clean.
And he also took great pride in producing a really neat and tidy finish. I am going to wallpaper but could easily have painted as the finish is of such a good quality.

Quality of finished work

Chris did a full redecoration of our house following renovation works. He did a fantastic job and offered lots of useful advice with paint recommendations. He was also very communicative. We would definitely use Chris again and would recommend him to family and friends.

Excellent decorator - highly recommend

Chris has replastered and then decorated a bedroom. The plastering was both plasterboard and bare brick work. He has done similar work on many of our rooms over many years and always provides high quality work and is always hard working. We will continue to use him

Plastering and decorating

Chris has recently painted every room in my house and plastered 5 ceilings and a wall.  He has completely transformed my house and his workmanship is excellent.  Chris is such a nice person,  considerate,  reliable,  polite and punctual.  Someone who is willing to go the extra mile. He is very professional and his work is of a high standard.  He is tidy and clears up well and I would highly recommend him . You couldn't ask for more.

Honest, polite,  excellent plasterer and decorator

We have used Chris previously and as before his workmanship was excellent. He has replastered and repainted our tired hallway to a very high standard. He is also a nice man to boot. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a painter/decorator.
