10 Plastering
Posted 2 days ago
Excellent service 😊
Mitch has totally transformed the downstairs toilet. He was punctual and polite. He sheeted up the ground floor from the back door to the toilet. He has made a really good job of the plastering. Mitch maintained a professional approach to the job and I will definitely recommend him to my friends and family.Verified reviewerJob location: DY50.67 Plastering

Plaster hallway and landing
Unfortunately, my experience with Mitch was extremely disappointing, both in terms of workmanship and his handling of complaints. The plastering in my hallway and landing was very poor. Corners and edges were uneven and out of square, plasterwork around virtually every architrave was excessively built out and curved, and edge beads were poorly aligned, leaving sharp, exposed edges. I had spent considerable time preparing the walls beforehand, yet the work required significant remedial work at additional cost before I could proceed with decorating. This caused unnecessary expense, inconvenience and frustration. What made matters worse was Mitch’s complete lack of accountability. After sending a message with images of the issues, he decided to block me. I pursued all avenues to contact Mitch including calling and email to no avail I would also advise checking the review history carefully. I noticed the Google reviews appeared to date back only around nine months, which is worth considering when assessing a tradesperson’s track record. I strongly recommend viewing previous work in person and paying once fully dry. Poor plastering can look decent when wet. DO NOT RECOMMENDVerified reviewerJob location: DY1ROmar A10 Skimming
