    Highly Recommend Richard for Plastering Work

    Richard from Apex recently boarded and plastered our living room and study, and we are very pleased with the results. His pricing was very competitive, and the quality of workmanship was excellent throughout. Richard was courteous, friendly, and professional at all times. He kept the work areas clean and tidy, taking care to minimise disruption and cleaning up thoroughly at the end of each day. The finished plastering is smooth and to a very high standard. Cheers again Richard 👍

    Excellent work

    Had Richard in to replaster (and board ceilings) in 2 bedrooms and an understairs cupboard. Work has been done to a very high standard. Richard was punctual, and very clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend his services and use him again.

    kitchen skimming/repair

    Richard was great. Fast to reply and gave a very reliable quote for the tricky kitchen. He arrived exactly on time and got straight to work with no messing about. High quality work and a quick turnaround. I’ll definitely use him again and would highly recommend him to others.

    Excellent Job

    We recently had our entire house re-plastered (walls and ceilings) by Richard, and we’re really pleased with the results. From start to finish, Richard was professional, reliable, and clearly takes pride in his work. The quality of the plastering is excellent — all surfaces are smooth, with a really clean, consistent finish throughout the house. He kept everything tidy, worked efficiently, and completed the job within the agreed timeframe, which made the whole process much less stressful. Communication was great as well — always clear and responsive. Overall, we’d highly recommend Ric
