Read moreCallum and Charlie are A1 at their work. Everything that other reviews have said I agree. Transparency, workmanship, fees are more than fair. They go beyond. Nothing was too difficult. I asked last minute to block a hole in my stairwell. Callum jumped in and had it done with no problem solving , it was a high ceiling drop. Went out of his way. Thank you guys. I have you back 100% Stand out , trust,on time , words were their word and good old tradition service. As Charlie said We trained in England and Scotland and standard are very high in plastering. Thumbs up 👍 I try share some photos. Rgds Michele Williams

Read moreWe had a section of ceiling/cornice in our 1890 terrace start to look like it would come down (after jack hammering next door) plus we had a couple of sections of wall upstairs that had become drummy and were possibly going to detach. Plus a few other repairs to cornices we'd been putting off for years. Callum came around and assessed it and gave us a quote for fixing with traditional lime plaster. He explained that this material would work better for an old house which is always shifting and never quite square. We had another cheaper quote but it was based on me sending a mobile photo of the areas and was not really credible to me on that basis. The section of ceiling/cornice fell down the day Callum and team started! Callum and team did a great job. They are very professional and know their stuff. They cleaned up very thoroughly after each day's work. They are nice guys who are respectful of women unlike some old style tradies. The results looks great and the price was very reasonable given the amount of work involved. I'd use them again without question.
