    Professional Service With Outstanding Results

    Matt did an absolutely fantastic job with the plastering. The finish is perfectly smooth, clean, and professional throughout. He turned up on time, worked hard, kept everything tidy, and clearly takes real pride in his work. The quality exceeded my expectations and the walls look amazing now they’re finished. Reliable, friendly, and highly skilled — I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Matt to anyone needing plastering work done. Top class service from start to finish.

    Plastering over previous tiling

    Quick response, we were fitted in within 3 days of advertising the job. Plastering was completed to a high standard, area was left clean and tidy and very reasonable quote.

    Excellent in every way

    Matt was excellent, from answering my (many) questions, to creating a wonderfully smooth ceiling (previously artexed). He was very helpful, knowledgeable, courteous and left my house clean and tidy. When the job was finished and the ceiling had dried, I had a decorator come in to do the mist coat and paint, as well as some other decorating, he commented on what a lovely smooth finish it was - considering he sees these everyday in his job I knew it confirmed what Matt had done was exceptionally good. When I move on to the next room I will have no hesitation in getting Matt back in.

    Well Satified!

    I have no hesitation in recommending Skimfast - they were very efficient from start to finish. From providing a very prompt response to my job quote, arriving at the agreed time, immediately getting down to the job, protecting the area throughout the house and finishing with a nicely completed bit of plastering. Polite and accommodating at all times and on completion of the work, they did a great job of cleaning up after themselves.

    Excellent work, will hire again.

    Matt was punctual, friendly and did a great job on making good various chasers after we'd had electrical works carried out. Everything was done to a high standard and he left it all so clean and tidy, you'd hardly know he'd been here!
