As the advert says he did everything that's written on the tin. Came on time, worked very hard, did a good job and the bill was the same as the quote with no "add ons".

very friendly plasterer, very helpful, excellent job all round, kept me informed of what he was doing & when he would start work due to hot weather.

Liam was a really nice guy he hung 5 doors and replaced all the skirting in 3 of our bedrooms. The work was carried out to a good standard. Liam was asked to have a look at our creaking stairs while he was there and was kind enough to fix this at the same time free of charge. Liam's number has been saved in my phone and he will be my first call should I need any form of joinery in the near future. Also left the place nice and tidy finished on time. Thanks Liam George and Amy George and Amy

Nice man, quiet, friendly, very polite and helpful. Knows his trade and makes very little mess. Plastering could be painted with virtually no further preparation. I would have no hesitation in having him back again.

Great guys, very honest and reliable, hard working and tidy. Flexible to suit the job. Couple of quite slow days to begin with while they worked out best approach to the job, but they sorted problems rapidly thereafter, spoke to us daily about what they we're up to and plans for days ahead and kept to the quote they provided, even though there was in the end quite a lot more work than they were expecting! Really very happy with end result, will happily recommend them and use again in future!

I had initial doubts about using this website to find good tradesmen. But DIR Solutions have changed my mind. communication was excellent and they were able to complete the task and exceed my expectations. This was a very difficult task and will be calling on them regularly to do other jobs in the future. It is a pity that i am unable to post before and after photos of this job on this website. Thanks to this company, I can now access a portion of my garden that was totally swamped by errant thorn bushes..

I would highly recommend Essom Plastering. Ian came out to view the job and offered an honest competitive quote. He turned up on time and did a fantastic job on our room (walls and ceiling). We will be using Essom Plastering again in the new year!

Tom was able to come to us two days after we made contact and did an excellent job at cutting and bevelling our stone work top. His price was very reasonable. He did an excellent job and the stone worktops look like new. He was very professional and courteous. I would definitely recommend him to others and be very happy to hire him again.

It is unfair for me to put 'Poor' but there is not an appropriate 'option' choice in your list to explain what happened. I have no idea what his work is like as there was a misunderstanding about when he was supposed to come, and eventually I had to cancel the job.

Lynden was everything you could hope for when booking a tradesman, punctual, friendly, professional, we ended up with our job looking far better than we could have imagined, I do not have any reservations about recommending him.
