Replaced ceiling
Paul & son replaced my dangerous sagging ceiling. Found major (shocking) problems underneath and explained & fixed the issues. I now have a very safe and smooth lovely new ceiling, and furthermore a newly skimmed study. Tidied after themselves, very respectful and genuinely nice guys.Verified reviewerJob location: PO5RFiona B10 Damp Proofer

Professional and helpful
Paul Callaway was very friendly and professional. They were considerate to our neighbour too. Areas in the same room that didn't require attention had protective covering and the site was left clean and tidyVerified reviewerJob location: PO210 Rendering

Rendering: Side wall, replacing slate with cladding
This is the fourth time I've had Paul come to do major work on our house. As ever, Paul explained the work that needed doing, was tidy (very tidy!), considerate, kept us informed about the work and took the time to ensure the work done was of an extremely high standard. I trust Paul, George and Tyler completely when it comes to working at our house. This time Paul re-rendered the side wall (end-of-terrace) and replaced the old slate on the roof that joined this wall and made everything watertight again!Verified reviewerJob location: PO510 Damp Proofer

Great job, site left clean and tidy
Paul has done a great job for us at our Portsmouth property. Job was also on time and areas not being worked on were covered with everything left clean and tidy. Paul also went the extra mile visiting the site daily when we couldn't. Would highly recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: PO210 Plasterer

Reliable, competent, professional building company. 5 star.
Paul and his boys worked on a variety of building work on our house renovation. Very knowledgeable, competent and professional. Also nice people which made life so much easier. Their work is also of a very high standard (particularly plastering the walls) and they are super tidy ensuring the space is tidied after each day. Helpfully Paul is also very well connected and will know another reliable trade should he not be able to do the specific job. Time wise, they got through a lot of work in a timely manner but not at the expense of the finish. I wouldn't hesitate to have them back again.Verified reviewerJob location: PO210 Rendering
