Highlights
"Professional and just got on with the job. Excellent finish"
"If you are lucky enough to book services from Mac Andrew Plastering with Tom, expectation is high quality finish plaster work. Tom is frankly very busy, so plan your job in advance, good plasterer is not easy to find. From communication to quoting, doing the work and providing updates at each step; everything went so smooth and delivered on time. Quality is outstanding"
"Tom has completed an incredible job at my property skimming over all of the out of date artexing on my ceilings. Tom is clearly an expert in his trade and I can’t get over how smooth all my ceilings look now and how happy I am to see the back of that artex. Tom was punctual every day, tidy and gives a great deal of care and attention to what he’s doing. Tom was very easy to talk to and professional do deal with. I 100% recommend him and his company for this kind of work."

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.
