    Insulated Rendering

    Posted 13 June

    Outstanding

    Ibrahim and his team have just finished rendering the outside of our house and we are thrilled with the results. They have worked incredibly hard, putting in long hours each day to get the job done to a high standard with excellent attention to detail. They cleaned up daily, even cleaning the front of our neighbours porch, which was covered in the dust from the removal of the old render. They have finished the job, making sure we were happy with the results, leaving the site cleaner than before they started. Outstanding. Would definitely have a quote for future work.

    Lime Plastering

    Posted 01 June

    Removing the old plasterboards from the three wall s and repairing them completely, radiator works.

    I would highly recommend Ibrahim. From start to finish, he has been reliable, flexible, and extremely accommodating to our needs. He communicated well throughout the project and was always willing to adapt when unexpected issues arose. The work was completed efficiently and to a high standard, with great attention to detail. Ibrahim is professional, hardworking, and takes pride in delivering quality results. He is also very well-mannered, respectful, and a pleasure to deal with, which made the whole experience stress-free. His pricing was fair and represented excellent value for money, parti

    Ceramic Tiling

    Posted 17 May

    Reliability, flexibility, bathrooms, plastering

    The team at Ala have carried out several jobs for me over the past few months, including: 1x full bathroom refit (inc full tiling) 1x en-suite refit (inc full tiling) 1x WC refit (inc half-tiling) 1x complete 8x4m living room re-plastering The company have been my go-to for these jobs because of their flexibility, reliability, competitive pricing and each day cleaned up after themselves. No issue whatsoever in recommending them for bathrooms, plastering or any other jobs that you may have.

    Plastering

    Posted 13 May

    Fixed a hole in wall and plastered a wall

    The guys did a good job, they didn’t rush it and did a really good job. Was respectful in the house and garden (making sure to close the gate when they needed to go in the van as my dog was in the garden). Would recommend.
