    Lime Plastering

    Posted 18 September

    Great work!

    Matt and his team installed a mesh membrane on an internal wall that was suffering from damp due to salt contamination. They then plastered over this. The level of service was great from start to finish. Great communication- always reliable- neat and tidy- and great plastering work!! I fully recommend Skimfast!

    Plastering in small bedroom

    Matt was very polite and reliable with good communication skills. The quality of work was outstanding and the house was left so tidy you wouldn’t know he had been in. Can’t recommend him enough and will be definitely using him again

    First class plastering

    I have used Matt for a number of projects, both big and small. He is always friendly and punctual. The quality of his work is excellent, and everything is left neat and tidy on completion. I wouldn’t consider using anyone else.

    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.
