    3 bed house -full painting required
    Unfortunately the service I recieved from Glen was incredibly bad. I awarded the job to Glen (he was the most expensive of the three quotes) as he stated that he could also complete the plastering work required as the plasterer i had hired informed me that he could no longer do the job as he was unable to get plaster. The first disappointment was the quality of the plastering work. It was really badly done with gaps in the corners and a terrible finish. When I pointed this out he then complained about the time it took him to correct his poor work. I did state to him that I was glad he was also doing the decorating as he would have to make good. He then requested full payment of the plastering and partial payment for the painting as he needed to pay the staff and didn't have any cash himself. I foolishly paid this on good faith, the next day the person he had paiting in the house walked out and Glen contacted me to state he had a bigger job in London starting next week and would not be finishing my job. He tried to make out that it was an issue with the state of the property which I thought was very cheeky as he and his team had been very disrespectful by damaging items in the property, leaving rubbish around and not cleaning up after themselves. I was surprised that there weren't more negative reviews for finished homes following my experience. However it has taken me three months to write this, I was heavily pregnant at the time and had a baby in September.

    Answer from tradesperson:

    Just want to start with hahaha After over 10 years on here your my first bad feedback. I really really hope someone actually reads this response. 1.you was let down by your last plasterer who stupidly took the coving down. 2. We didn't plaster to the tops because you siaid you was having coving which is normal until you told us later you was having lights at the top and it was your normal coving. Again your mistake. 3 which meant we had to fill in the bloody gaps. 4. You asked us time and time again to plaster over wood and we said no thats not possible were not cowboys. 5. And the reason we left is because every now and then you get that 1 customer and that customer was you. 6. I only took the money which I done the work for and left the rest of the money for someone else to do the painting. 7. You were never there and in London which meant communication was awful. 8. And may I state again YOUR MY FIRST BAD FEEDBACK IN OVER 10 YEARS. What do you think that says about you. Which is why I'm guessing the last plasterer left. I should've clocked on earlier you was going to be a nightmare. Anyway enjoy your new home. I'll be relaxing here with a cocktail living in Sri Lanka. Enjoy motherhood

    Decoration
    Glen was originally hired to paint as per the job description. However as our builder was lagging behind he mucked in and completed filling, rubbing down and caulking etc to ensure we got back into our house for Christmas. Very thorough and all work finished to a good standard. Glen is a good communicator and as you can tell from the above flexible and hard working. Would definitely hire again for similar work.

    Flat refurb
    Glen was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. We hired him for a full renovation, which involved hacking back all internal walls, insulating and damp proofing and then replastering. He knocked down walls, built new walls, contracted all other tradesmen to rewire the place, fit the new kitchen and also fit the bathroom. He also did all the tiling (very tricky as no wall or floor was straight or flat), and also hacked off the external render to damp proof and then re-render. We're incredibly happy with the end result and he did it all in just under 2 months. Highly recommend him.

    Plaster Ceiling aprox 12’ x 8’9ft

    Glen and James were brilliant. I had a timber clad bathroom ceiling with an old lath plaster one underneath, which needed attention. Some sections of the walls were also covered in peeling paper. Glen was very concerned with doing the job properly and his quote was very competitive. They pulled the whole lot down, and scraped all the paper off the walls, efficiently and quickly disposing of all the rubbish. Within two days I had a completely new ceiling and the entire room plastered from top to bottom. Very, reliable, polite and friendly guys. Would definitely use them again.

    Wallpaper removal assistance for entire house
    Awesome crew. Got the requested job done very promptly, then hired them for the plastering, coving, laminate flooring, and painting. Every job was completed to a high standard and on time. I would highly recommend Finished Homes.
