They managed coordinating with other trades - taking that headache out of our hands. Did a good job and left the site tidy. Would certainly recommend." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) > "Really pleased with the ceiling skim Ian did for us. Looks flawless and has completely transformed the room. Friendly, reliable, and clearly knows his trade. Would happily recommend." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) > "Friendly, polite and conducted the work on time and within budget. Did a couple of extra bits of work at no extra charge. Work looks to be of good quality, damp proofing so a bit of a slow burn on results, however the interior wall he stripped and re plastered has dried out nicely so I expect everything else to be good as well." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) ## Trades Plumber, Plasterer / drywaller ## Services they list _Listed on public sources or the business's own website; check directly that they cover your job before you book:_ - Dry Lining - Flat Ceilings - Lath Plastering - Lime Plastering - Pebble Dashing / Rough Casting - Plastering - Polished Plastering - Rendering - Screeding - Skimming - Tape & Jointing - Waterproof Plasterer ## Areas covered _Towns and areas this trader lists serving.

Where we hold a date, the check shows it. ## Before you hire a plumber _What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_ - 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. - For the water-regulations side of plumbing, a WaterSafe-approved plumber is vetted, qualified to the water regulations and insured. You can check yours or find one free at watersafe.org.uk. - Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile. ## Contact - Phone: 07427 826812 --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/st-albans-plastering-and-general-builders Real public evidence only: every figure traces to its named source.
