    Plastering

    Posted 3 days ago

    Old plaster removal, boarding and skim

    Russ has been a pleasure to deal with. Great communication, a competitive quote and really friendly. During the work there was a big problem to stop the process and Russ didn't try to fob us off or bodge the work. He was very accomodating once the builder had fixed the issue and the plastering has been completed with a really good finish. I will be contacting Russ first if I have any further jobs.

    Plastering

    Posted 02 July

    Board and skim hall, stairs and cuboard

    I've been using Russ for a few years now and this man always turns up on time, with a smile and gets me out of trouble. When he leaves, he leaves me a perfect blank canvas enabling me to transfer the room into any design we wish. Can't thank Russ enough for his hard work and extremely competitive rates. If you are in need of plastering work, you will not be disappointed by Russ. Thanks again for an amazing job.

    Excellent work by a true professional!

    We recently had Russ from RLM Plastering do some plastering work for us and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From the start, his preparation to make sure everything was kept clean and tidy was excellent, and it was clear he really cares about doing a professional job properly. His attention to detail was amazing and the finish is flawless. He even stayed late to make sure the job was completed to a high standard, which we really appreciated. Reliable, hardworking, and takes real pride in his work — we would highly recommend Russ and RLM Plastering to anyone looking for top-quality pla
