Highlights
"Phil Hunter recently skimmed the bedroom ceilings for us and did a fantastic job. Professional from start to finish, arrived exactly when he said he would, kept us updated throughout, and his communication was clear and straightforward. All work was finished to a very high standard. It’s obvious Phil takes pride in his craft, and it really shows in the results. Reliable tradespeople can be hard to find, but Phil is definitely one of them. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for plastering work and will certainly be using him again in future."
"Paul and Phil have recently skimmed five ceilings including boarding three of them, and they have done a very professional job. They came when they said they would, kept us informed about the work and left the house tidy each day. I think we were lucky to have found them and would like them to do some further work. I would have no hesitation in recommending them."
"Really great. Its about the basics really, they respond to email, text and phone calls. They do what they say they will and on the agreed date. They do a good job at a fair price. Both Phil and Paul are friendly, conscientious and courteous. I'd recommend them with confidence."

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.
