Skimming Artex Ceiling
Incredibly fast turnaround! The job was listed on checkatrade on Saturday morning, D H Finishing quoted us shortly after, we confirmed on Tuesday and Charles scheduled us the very next day (Wednesday) and finished the work within a few hours. Great workmanship and personality! Will happily use D H Finishing in the future.Verified reviewerJob location: CM11RMichele R10 Plastering

Stud wall, plastering, skimming & skirting installation
After a new staircase installation I called Des in to repair the walls and build new stud walls in the cupboard under the stairs and some repair work to a ceiling. He also put in new skirting boards. Des had some great ideas and was fantastic throughout. His work ethic is second to none and the quality of his work is excellent. Would thoroughly recommend him and will definitely be using him again should the need arise.Verified reviewerJob location: RM1610 Plastering

Great service from Des
Des plastered two of my ceilings and I’m really pleased I hired him for the job. Des was very friendly and professional, he worked hard to complete the job in one day and I’m really satisfied with the standard of work. I’d be happy to hire Des for any future plastering work.Verified reviewerJob location: SS12
