Highlights
"Very high quality work from Julian, including a tricky bit of curved plastering on a set of stairs in an old house. Julian was friendly and reliable and I wouldn’t hesitate to use him in the future."
"Julian was recommended to us by word of mouth, and we can see why he was recommended. Julian did a superb job plastering the walls and ceiling of our kitchen. He’s a craftsman and perfectionist. He’s also reliable, friendly and great to chat with. He also gives sound advice. When we explained that we will be replacing the back door, Julian advised that it would be better to leave plastering around the door until the new door is in place. We look forward to seeing Julian again once the door is fitted. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him."
"We would definitely recommend Julian. He was so friendly and very helpful, offering up lots of advice for our ongoing house renovations. He went above and beyond for our tricky artex ceilings and the finish is amazing. We wouldn't hesitate to have him back for any other plastering needs."

What a cracking bloke, totally flexible and understanding, guided us through options and gave solid advice, did a fantastic job and made the whole experience painless, just remember, copious cups of tea with 3 sugars and you can't go wrong. We will definitely use Jules again for any future plastering 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.
