"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."
"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."

Riley did an outstanding job helping bring an this old house back to life. Amazing plastering and moulding work
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.
From initial message to work completion the experience was painless. Quick responses and clear pricing. Will definitely use again
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.
Very friendly and brilliant quality of work. I'll certainly use Newlook Artexing & Coving again in the future
Excellent communication, always on time, very conscientious
Experience was great. Personable. Professional. Knowledgeable. Caring and great attention to detail. I am already considering another quote for more work by him for painting. Would recommend and am planning to hire again.
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 is professional, timely and great at plastering! Would highly recommend!!!
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.
Polite, efficient, tidy and looks great. No complaints and would recommend.
