We were delighted with the service and outstanding quality of workmanship provided by Aiden. The initial advice provided by Aiden and his detailed and prompt quote was much appreciated. The fact that Aiden coordinated not only the plastering but additional carpentry and electrical work and sourced an excellent painter made it stress free for us. We also appreciated the daily updates and photos. Aiden also ensured that a thorough clean up was completed. Would highly recommend this company.

Could not recommend Aiden enough! He was the third plasterer that we had asked for a quote - the only one to show up!! And the job was done within a week
He was friendly, respectful of my home and did a wonderful job. He was great communicating details to myself and he left the house spotless! I will be recommending Aiden from now on! Thanks again!

Aiden is truely expert at his craft of plastering. We are delighted with the work he completed installing plasterboard on top of our lath and plaster. He straightened our non-plumb Federation walls and ceilings and provided excellence advice about appropriate cornices, roses, architraves and skirts. The finished job is outstanding.

Aiden did a great job. Fast too - we wanted some very specific architraves installed to match the rest of our house in which to install new wardrobes - he quoted on Saturday after I sent some photos showing what we were looking for and he was done on Monday! He went the extra mile to get the routing pattern we were looking for. If you need a great plastering/carpentry job done on time, I know who to recommend!
