plasterboarding and skimming large room
did a great job and I'm more than happy with the speed, knowledge, work ethic and professionalism of James. He's a trustworthy, teetotaller that turned up on time everyday and put in a solid days graft.Job location: BN1Rdavid m10 Skimming

we had our bedroom walls skimmed and the ceiling overboarded and plastered too.
Jim was great from the point of contact to finishing the job when agreed. He worked around an electrician we had come in to put some droplights too. He left the room in great condition and we've just had to decorate really.Verified reviewerJob location: TN1RGeorgios G10 Flat Ceilings
