Highlights

"I had Garry come and render the out side of the property. Top job, always told me what was going on and how they where going to do it. I would recommend them to anyone, they may not be the cheapest but pay cheap pay twice."

KevinRated People5.0 rating

"Garry carried out a coloured silicone render job to the outside of my property due to old pebble dash leaking. An excellent job carried out despite having to work around rainy plymouth weather and all at a very reasonable price, I would definitely recommend garry to carry out any jobs you require."

Garry has been very helpful and friendly. He had to remove layers of old paint and wallpaper. The wall looks as new and all smells are gone. Good job.

Gary has completed many building and plastering jobs for me, over many years, at rental properties we owned. This has included re-rendering the whole three storey frontage. He completed the work to a high standard at a competitive price.

Promptly responded to my request and assessed the work. Attended at agreed time and completed the work within the time period specified in advance. The work was completed to high standard for a fair price.

Gary was professional and courteous at all times; he provided a competitive quote and delivered/exceeded on all our expectations. The work was completed promptly and on time to a high standard whilst communication was first class from start to finish. Would definitely recommend and will be using again in the near future on another phase of our build.

Very pleased with the result but with the nature of the job, it was messy.

Rupert5.0 / 5

Gary and Sean have done a fantastic job on the rendering of our bungalow, we are so pleased with the end result. Their workmanship is five star. They left it very clean and tidy and worked so hard. We feel lucky to have found such reliable tradesman who gave us a great price for the job. Couldn’t rate them anymore.

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.
