Highlights
"Alan has completed several jobs for us over the last three years or so, starting with a garage conversion, he's replaced a roof, replastered three bedrooms and downstairs living room, dining room and snug - we have also had all new skirting, radiators and archtrave. Most recently Alan has completed plastering our hallway, stairs and landing. Alan is very reliable, has high standards of workmanship, a good work ethic, and provides reasonable quotes - we are really pleased with all of the work completed and wouldnt hestitate to recommend him or contact him again for any future work."
"I recently had my bedroom plastered by ABP, I’m so happy with the work they did! Very efficient and the best quality finish. Will be using this company again!"
"They had wide knowledge of general building. They removed walls and installed steel beams. Plastered over door way, levelled walls and widened chimney breast. Small team worked very hard in the heat waves to compete the work."

They had wide knowledge of general building. They removed walls and installed steel beams. Plastered over door way, levelled walls and widened chimney breast. Small team worked very hard in the heat waves to compete the work.

Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
