Fitting ceiling boards, overboarding and plastering
Would completely recommend Aaron. Communication was great, very punctual and the work was brilliant. He came up with a great solution to sort our ceiling issues and it looks great now. Also very clean, covered the area well and tidied up great after.Verified reviewerJob location: M29RDanielle W10 Skimming

Skimming walls and ceiling
Aaron responded promptly to my quote request, he surveyed and quoted in a timely manner. We agreed the scope of works and when Aaron could attend. Work was completed in the time frame Aaron had originally advised, including a small additional item. Really happy with the workmanship and would happily recommend Aaron.Verified reviewerJob location: M28RClaire H10 Penetrating Damp Treatment

Penetrating damp treated & walls replastered
Aaron was fantastic and I would definitely recommend. He made contact with me very quickly after my initial enquiry and came to assess work the following day. He identified what needed to be done, which included taking the current plaster and tiles off the wall, putting in a waterproof membrane and re plastering . Aaron completed the work in two days as agreed and it was to a very high standard. The area was left clean and tidy and disposed of all waste. He also filled/plastered some other areas that were not part of the initial quote. Thankyou Aaron !!Verified reviewerJob location: WA1RGemma H10 Plastering

Hi we are Cromwell Damp Proofing and Plastering Services, a friendly family run business.
We aim to give a 100% professional friendly service and leave with a qualit finish.
We take pride in our work and are always reasonably priced giving full breakdown quotes for total piece of mind.
Unlike most dampproof installers who are only certified to install a chemical damp proof course with a partial guarantee and just want to cover your walls in a plastic membrane to mask the problem, we dig deep to rectify the underlying problem first.
We are certified dampproof installers and qualified plasterers so with us you receive a full guarantee that both the damp proof course and replastering have been done to the very highest hard to beat standards.
We plaster the walls after we have installed the damp proof course, giving total piece of mind that we are giving a full guarantee for the damp proof course (DPC) and a full guarantee for the
plastering too.
Our edge above other companies is rather than having three lots of tradesmen entering your home 1, damp proof course installer 2, plasterer 3, joiner to refit skirting we do the job from start to
finish.
Usually by the end of the job in hand, you will know us quite well.
All our damp-proofing comes with a 10-year government recognized guarantee.
This is all you need to buy or sell a property when that dreaded survey highlights damp issues.
Honesty is our trait, and if the works you're asking for honestly can't be done, we won't do a quick fix and run under a pretense we've solved the problem only for it to come back some time later.
We will advise you on what to do and simply help by pointing you in the direction of the adequate professional you need.
HISTORY:
I first started damp proofing and plastering at 15.I attended Stockport college full time to complete a 2-year diploma giving me level 1 and 2 in hand plastering and construction knowledge.
I then worked for new charter housing trust primarily working alongside surveyors diagnosing all sorts of damp, condensation and penetrating damp issues in void properties.
Once the correct causes of damp were found I would get to work removing the plaster installing the damp proof course then re plastering the walls to a perfect finish.
I also became an approved contractor to install damp proof course and give full guarantees for both damp proof course and plastering, it was by this point I went one step further and completed my level 3 NVQ in hand plastering and construction knowledge.
After new charter I left on good terms still regularly do damp proofing for them to become independent.
Since then, I have built up a large portfolio of builders and property developers who trust us to fix and treat all aspects of damp in their vacant properties.
We also source and find our own jobs and have many returning customers.
Thanks for reading.
