Highlights
"Did a great job! Booked and completed so quickly and was very friendly and helpful - will definitely be using again in future."
"What a fantastic job done by a thoroughly professional chap! Dave was extremely polite and diligent in his work. A pleasure to talk to and full of many years’ experience, Dave completed work over his remit by ensuring the hole fix was totally secure and done to a gold standard! It’s rare you find such a good tradesperson who has a lot of integrity and cares about his work and his customers. 1000% recommendation for any work you’re considering!"
"So when it fell, we could not get the render fixed due to weather. A friend let us down, so having family in trade, we used checkatrade and found Dave of Period Plastering. This was the best choice we made, Dave is a fair, honest, hardworking character. He did the job by himself within a day and half and would not leave till he was happy, it was done properly. He offers very fair prices and you can tell, he is customer related business as he listened to what we wanted and then recommended . You will also find Dave is always up for a chat while working. So give him a call! Highly Recommended!"

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.
