    Small plastering task

    Posted 4 days ago

    Alan completed the plastering of some boxing around pipework within a bedroom efficiently. He was friendly and reliable and I would use him again for any similar jobs

    Never again

    Posted 19 January

    Plastered and supposedly artex a ceiling for me. Left me with a complete mess and not what I asked for. I asked him if he can artex he said yes, clearly he can not artex as artex is white not brown. All he did was replace the plaster board and put that much skim on there it's ridiculously thick now. Pictures will be attached and you can make your own mind up if you use him or not. I definitely won't recommend this guy for any artex work. He offered to come back and put even more skim on the ceiling, I said no it is definitely thick enough as it is and needs to be sanded right back and redone.

    Sir when I spoke to your wife she was told that the pattern would be very hard to replicate and your wife said so long as it had a pattern she was ok with this she was there when it was finished and if there was a problem then we could have put things wright there and then I have offered to come back and put things right but you have declined my offer the job was to take down plasterboard and replace boards and then a coat off bonding and then two coat off Muilty Finnish with a pattern in the Finnish witch was done I am very happy to come back and see if we can resolve this when ever you want
