Highlights
"Besides being brilliant at plastering, Wayne is reliable, honest, today and a total pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Booked him for external rendering and 5 rooms indoors over last 7 years. Would recommend to anyone who can book in advance, he's always in demand - and you can tell why!"
"We can highly recommend Wayne and his team. Reasonable quote for a large amount of repair and re skimming a large semi detached property, but given the very high quality of the completed work it was excellent value. Excellent communication through out from start to finish, friendly and very helpful. Would definitely employ again and can recommend without hesitation."
"After being recommended by a family member Wayne came and reskimmed some internal walls for me after the builder left them in a terrible state. His attention to detail to get the job right produced perfectly smooth walls. Can't recommend him enough."

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.
