Highlights
"I had Dave in to plaster our bedroom and landing / hallway. Which involved some boarding. I thought Dave’s work and diligence was excellent and finished to a top standard. Communication was very good and Dave has given helpful advice on various trade aspects. Everything was clear and the work completed as was advised. I definitely plan on getting Dave back in to do further work in the house and would 100% recommend to friends / family."
"The quality of workmanship is excellent. Multiple areas throughout our house, including our media wall and ceilings have been plastered - All finished to an incredibly high standard. Communication was fantastic from the start. He was clear about the timescale and delivered exactly as promised. Dave had also completed plastering work on my parents’ loft, which was also to a brilliant standard, so we had total confidence booking again. A reliable, professional plasterer who clearly takes pride in his work. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dave and would absolutely use his services again."
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5‑Star Review for David’s Plastering Services I’ve recently used David for plastering work on two separate properties, and I can confidently say his workmanship and professionalism are exceptional. **At the first property**, David worked on a loft that needed a complete overhaul. He removed all the old plasterboard, fully insulated the space, re‑boarded the entire room, and finished it off with a smooth, high‑quality plaster job. The transformation was brilliant."

Check the WaterSafe registerSmart checks
Before you hire a plumber
Agree the call-out fee, the hourly or fixed rate, and whether parts are charged on top — in writing — before an emergency plumber starts. Out-of-hours overcharging and 'while I'm here' add-ons are common complaints.
Be wary of a plumber who, on a first visit, says your whole system or boiler must be replaced — get a second opinion and an itemised quote (parts and labour separately) before agreeing to major work.
Gas and boiler work is a separate, regulated trade — not general plumbing. Make sure anyone working on a gas appliance is specifically registered to do gas work, and ask to see that registration before they start.
Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
Check any verified credentials, and that the business details independently check out.
