Highlights
"We are extremely pleased with the work carried out plastering over our artex ceilings. The finish is perfectly smooth and looks fantastic. Vince was professional, reliable, tidy, and clearly takes pride in his work. Everything was completed to a very high standard and within the agreed time. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend VDC Plastering to anyone looking for a skilled plasterer."
"The company were prompt in their contact and were able to explain what they’d be doing clearly. They were flexible with their availability and the work has been completed to a very satisfactory standard, the representative was both professional and personable"

"Architect" is a title protected by law - only people on the official Architects Register (held by ARB) may use it. Confirm they're on it before you commission a design.
Check the Architects RegisterSmart checks
Before you hire an architect
Only someone on the Architects Registration Board (ARB) register may legally call themselves an 'architect' in the UK — ask for their ARB number and check it free at arb.org.uk. An 'architectural designer' or 'technologist' is a different, unregistered role (often capable, but not the same protection).
Agree how they charge before any work starts — a percentage of the build cost, a fixed fee, or an hourly rate — and exactly which stages it covers (concept design, planning application, building-regulations drawings, work on site), so there are no surprises later.
Confirm what they will actually handle versus what is excluded — the planning application, the building-control drawings, and whether they will administer the builder's contract on site — and get it, and a portfolio of similar projects, in writing.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
