Extremely happy with the work carried out by Matt. The final result of the render looks perfect. Matt had to deal with the extremes of heat and the most recent downpours. Even coming back to put a base coat on on a dry Saturday evening. Great communication and timekeeping, turned up exactly on the date and time we agreed which is always an added bonus on top of his brilliant workmanship very polite and friendly and went the extra length to clean up after himself would absolutely recommend anyone who is considering him, will definitely be asking him round for future jobs.
