Highlights

"From start to finish Ray was a pleasure to do business with. His communication was very good and his work ethic and workmanship everything you would want. He completed the skimming of the plasterboard in our through-lounge within the alloted time and on budget. He is a very skilled plasterer and we are very pleased with the outcome."

"Ray is very professional and easy to get on with. He's done a fantastic job plastering over a textured bedroom ceiling. He's a real perfectionist! We're so pleased with the results. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and if we need more plastering done in the future we wouldn't use anyone else."

"We recently had Ray from Shaw Finish Plastering complete work in our home and couldn’t be happier. His communication was excellent from the start, offering dates that suited us and keeping us updated for both the quote and the job. He took time to understand our requirements and checked in throughout to ensure everything was as expected. His estimate was accurate with no surprises. Professional, friendly and polite, he also left everything clean and tidy. He was brilliant with our dog, who can be temperamental, which made things much easier. The quality of his work is outstanding. It was a large ceiling with skeiling and niches, and he gave helpful advice before starting. The final result is excellent and we’re extremely pleased. I wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend Ray from Shaws Plastering and will definitely be using his services again for any future work."

Ray has done a really great job plastering our bedroom! He turned up on time, was really friendly and helpful - talking us through the work and any difficulties that we may need to know. He was also very clean and tidy! Very happy and I will definitely use Ray again for any future work we have. - thank you very much, Ray!
