What the public record says
Highlights
"Billy was pleasant, punctual, good communications, brilliant job done, extremely neat and no mess left at all. Highly recommended."
"Great tradesman, would highly recommend. I have used Billy for work at home and work and will use again and recommend to friends and family."
"We had to get a really bad couple of ceilings bonded and then plastered. Billy actually said it was one of the worst he had ever done. The price they quoted was very reasonable, they were always incredibly easy to contact and were always there exactly when they said they would be. The ceilings now look perfect, one of the main things I liked was that we had a few other problem areas and Billy was actively trying to save us money and persuading us to not waste money on doing things that he didn't feel would be worth it. I believe that you can trust these guys to do a good honest job! Would use again and highly recommend."

Billy and his two sons are an incredible trio of plasterers! They are punctual, hardworking, and tenacious in the face of issues (even resorting to making batches of plaster by hand when my electricity was out). The three of them plastered my entire house (a 2 bedroom Victorian semidetached) in seemingly no time, even working on weekends to get work finished promptly. Coupled with that, they are very reasonably priced and the quality of their workmanship is top-notch, even gleaning compliments from my in-laws!
WG Plastering - High Recommend - Mr Vennard arrived ahead of time and did a wonderful repair job. He was quick, left the site clean and tidy, price quoted was the price charged. Will definitely use this WG Plastering again.
Billy and his sons were punctual, efficient, friendly and completed on time and for the price agreed. The work itself was faultless. Very pleased.
Billy is a fantastic guy and the level of communication and service is excellent. Billy even managed to fit me in at short notice and came to see the job before starting work to ensure it could be completed within agreed timescales. If you need a plasterer in the Northwest this is the company to use.
WG Plastering undertook various work for me. I cannot recommend them highly enough. The customer service is exceptional and they are extremely good at what they do. If I require any more plastering in the future, I would not hesitate to use them again.
I needed some plastering work done at a property I rent out in Greater Manchester but I live in Derbyshire. I chose Billy because of the great reviews he has received on Which Trusted Traders and it was the right choice. I needed a hole in the kitchen ceiling repaired and plastered and the porch ceiling skimmed. Due to lockdown restrictions I could not travel to the property but Billy was so good explaining everything and keeping in touch with me it really took away the stress of being unable to be there to see the work for myself. He did what he said he would do, he updated me when he found he needed to do a little more to the porch ceiling (which he had anticipated may be needed) and his charge was very reasonable. He sent photographs of the work before and after and he did not expect payment until the job was finished. What's not to recommend? From first speaking to Billy I had a good feeling about him and I was proved right, really nice man and great plasterer. I'd recommend him every time.
If you need a plasterer don't hesitate in calling Billy, turned up when promised to have a look at a bedroom ceiling that was a mess due to a leak and supplied advice and a good priced quote. Arranged to have the work done the next week, again him and his two lads Luke and Troy turned up when promised and work completed to a really high standard. Don't waste your time looking around at other plasterers just give WG plastering a ring, will definitely use them again if needed and have already recommended them to friends and family.
A very positive experience. We discussed the job on the phone and I sent photos. Anything I asked to be clarified was answered straightforwardly. The job was relatively small - one damp damaged kitchen wall. On the day Billy arrived on time, he was very pleasant to deal with. We talked through exactly what he would do and both agreed on the details. He checked back with us a few times during the work always ensuring that it was what we wanted. He bonded the wall where damaged plaster had fallen off and then plastered that and skimmed the whole wall and even took in the inside edge of the window which was a bonus, putting on a trim to square it off and improve the look of it. The undamaged plaster that he skimmed was very uneven and patched. The finished result is a lovely fresh smooth wall. The job came in £50 lower than the original estimate which had been a 'top price you will pay' estimate because the job was unseen. Throughout the work Billy and his assistants took Covid precautions very seriously and so the process felt safe. They left everything clean and tidy and got the job done in good time. I am happy to recommend them and would use them again.
WG Plastering did a fabulous job of our front room and hall, stairs and landing. Billy came and gave us a quote for the work which was very reasonable and that was the price we paid at the end. They were punctual and clean workers and very personable. Highly recommend!
We wanted three artexed ceilings smoothed over. Billy advised us well, was up-front about the costs and helped us to schedule the work - he came three times, one ceiling at a time. He explained there was no need to board over the Artex and he could skim over, which would be quicker and cheaper. He responded quickly to text messages and turned up between 8 am and 8.30 am on the days agreed, to get the work done. He and his crew (three of them) worked hard and tidied up well at the end of each day. They were really polite and friendly. We are really pleased with the work - one of the ceilings was a mess and needed a lot of remedial work which cost a little bit more, but there were no surprises and the ceilings look loads better. We would definitely use him again if we have more plastering work.
We contacted them by phone to plaster a bedroom, with a bay window and chimney breast. We sent some photos of the room and got a price straight away. They turned up on time, were polite and friendly, they worked hard and cleaned up after themselves. We plan to use them again for our next room. Would highly recommend.
Contacted WG Plastering as we had a cracked ceiling following a loft conversion and wanted some corner beading removing and a chimney breast skimming in one of our bedrooms. We didn’t know how best to fix the ceiling and Billy was very knowledgeable as to our options and not pushy at all. Quote was very reasonable. The team were professional and friendly and they tidied up after themselves every day. We’re very happy with the work completed and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
We needed two rooms plastering after extensive structural work. Billy visited and assessed the work, gave us a start date, came on time and shared the progress of the work with us. Everything was done efficiently and with courtesy. We are very pleased with the results, and thank Billy, Luke and Troy very much.
Excellent work on plastering of my bedroom in my new house. Good communication throughout, turned up when he said he would and kept me updated on progress of work. Great finish, really happy with the work!
This is the third time we have used WG Plastering, definitely recommended. From the quote to the very reasonable price, to arriving when they said, it is good to deal with a straightforward trader who does what they say they will. The quality of their work is second to none, we’ve been very pleased with the results. They do a brilliant job clearing up after themselves and are nice, polite people to deal with. I would highly recommend WG Plastering and will be using their services again in the near future.
W G Plastering is run by Billy and his team. The job was to plaster bedroom walls and kitchen walls. His work was excellent; a high standard and everything left clean and tidy. Communication was brilliant. We were kept up to date throughout. We would definitely use WG Plastering again and would be happy to recommend this company to anyone requiring a plasterer. It is wonderful to come across someone you can trust to do all they promise to do without any hitches. As for cost, we felt the work was reasonably priced. We couldn't have asked for a more considerate, helpful tradesman.
I was very impressed by the work undertaken by Billy and his two sons. Billy came round promptly after I send him a message to provide a quote. We agreed a date for the work, which was completed to a high standard in a fast time. The room was spotless after they had finished. I thoroughly recommend W G Plastering if you are in Manchester and need plastering.
