    Plastering

    Posted 11 March

    Room plastering and skimming.

    Darren was very polite and accommodating. A couple of visits just to confirm what would be required and a date was booked. Over a couple of days he successfully plastered gaps and holes, reskimming all walls. Very happy with the result.
