    Disappointing experience after hiring Richie Hopwood

    Posted 06 July

    Richie did a good plastering work for me, and was friendly. However, after I paid the agreed £1,100, which included waste disposal, he failed to collect the building waste he left on my driveway as he promised. He did not respond to several calls and texts until I mentioned Checkatrade, then he said he was at hospital with a family member and he will contact me when the time is right. Despite giving him extra time (i.e. the weekend) for him, his family or friends to arrange collection, he did not respond or resolve it. I’m sad that this happened and now need to raise a Checkatrade claim.

    Good plastering, but poor customer service

    Posted 16 April

    The bathroom ceiling plastering work was good by my standards. However, a hole was discovered in the shower tray shortly after completion. The damage was consistent with pressure from a fixed point, and no other trades were on site. Richie denied responsibility offering no resolution. I was rushed to pay the full £550 before I could inspect the work in person and did so based on a video of the ceiling. On discovery I requested £229 towards a basic repair, which was outright refused. He claims he didn't do it and I have no definite proof, but overall, disappointing handling of the issue.

    After going back and fourth with this customer about his overcrowded property Showertray that I refused to take responsibility for as he had another tradesman in that area fitting a extractor fan !!I walked 1 of the 8 tenants around the job and there was no problem . The customer paid the money and a week later try to raise this issue !!!! I’m a professional plasterer who is way past making mistakes like that !! So sorry we don’t see eye to eye on this one . Thankyou for the opportunity Kind regards Ritchie

    Plastering walls & celing

    Posted 13 March

    Ritchie and Barry were polite and friendly from start to finish and did a great job plastering our master bedroom. The plastering has come out really smooth and the room already looks so much better because of it. They were easy to talk to and happy to answer any questions we had along the way. We're really pleased with the result and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to get plastering done.
