Highlights

"Riley did a fantastic job in good time. We had to patch up walls and different types of ceiling after rewiring. All looks good now."

Ronan MCheckatrade5.0 rating

"A friend recommended Riley to me (to plaster the walls of a bedroom) and it turned out to be the same Riley who artexed every ceiling of my house 20-25 years ago! Very impressed with the finish of the walls; beautifully smooth. Riley is a good communicator - he kept in touch with me over arrival times etc, and was punctual and reliable. He is a very friendly chap who is easy to have around. I’ll definitely be calling Riley back."

Couldn't rate Riley high enough. We were in a urgent need of work after being let down. He rearranged his schedule to help us out and for a very reasonable price. The work done was fulfilled in a quicker time than quoted and to a very high standard. There was some additional work that needed to be carried out with the replastering of a ceiling and again this was done with great care and attention to detail. He worked longer days to ensure all was done to allow us to move on to the next stage. Overall very grateful for his dedication and efficiency. Would recommend his services to all.

Riley was very punctual and delivered an amazing smooth wall finish from what was a very rough patched area with plenty of exposed brick. Communication was also very good, texting me to inform he's on his way and everything. Thank you for your help.

From start to finish I was really impressed with the communication. From arriving and talking through the options to completion and payment. Very smooth process and so was the ceiling.

I initially had one ceiling skimmed to cover unwanted artex. Riley was very good, he explained the whole process. He prepared and protected the room, cleaned up afterwards to a satisfactory standard. He gave timeframe and indications to know when it was ok to paint the ceiling. I was so happy with his work, I called him back to do two more ceilings. I would most definitely recommend his work, and professionalism.

Riley completed installing a plaster cornice for us in a bedroom we recently knocked two rooms through into one . We are very happy with the finish. He was very accommodating in getting it exactly how we wanted it from the ceiling. I would highly recommend Riley for any plaster or cornice works. We have already asked him to quote us for more internal work.

Will use Riley for any future plastering work. Excellent attention to detail, house was pretty messy after a rewire and he made everything look fantastic. A few obstacles came up during the job as well and he handled them like a pro and made us feel at ease.

Standing water from the bathroom above had seeped through the floor and damaged the ceiling below. Riley was round the day of my enquiry to view and price the job (very reasonable), then we booked the work in for a few weeks later. He removed the water damaged plaster, more than we initially anticipated but wasn't a problem. He dried the remaining damp areas and also checked for any leaks to confirm that it was indeed a one-off. He then replaced the damaged plaster and patched in new plaster, ready for me to paint once dry. Very satisfied. Nice bloke too!

Riley was very responsive from the beginning of the job request. All the agreed upon work was completed on time and to a very good standard. He maintained the place very clean and was very respectful of our home.

Riley was the only tradesman I could find that knew how to do Artex patterns that I needed on my hall ceiling. He did it so well you can't even notice it has been repaired. He also helped me out with a repair in my kitchen where I had tried to repair a wall myself, it was exactly what I asked for and the cost was extremely good. I am getting him to come back and do some outside work soon. Very impressive

We trusted Riley as soon as he came and gave the us the survey/Quote. Knew his stuff and explained everything in detail. Stayed to his time frame and contacted us whenever something different had to be done. Would recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy professional.

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.
