From the very start Les gave me confidence in his ability to do a good job. When the job eventually started due to Covid delays, he and Denis were working from 8am until 5pm and sometimes latter most days. There were major problems with loose and damp brickwork, found after the old render was removed. Les consulted with me on the best way forward and the additional cost involved. He charged just for the extra material and only a small amount for the significantly extra labour involved. Any decisions on the time needed for the brickwork to dry out were left to me and he fitted in other work around it, coming back regularly to check the dampness situation. At the end of the day the standard of work, as is the finished job, exceptional. If you are looking for a reliable, honest, friendly and above all competent plasterer, I couldn't recommend him more highley
