We had 2 ceilings replastered on 2 different visits and the workmanship was of a high standard and the rooms left very clean. Would have no hesitation in recommending Acclaim Home Improvements to anybody.

Steve did a first class professional job re plastering my hall, stairs and landing including problem solving a defect in the old ceiling. This is the second time he has done work for me and I have been delighted with the results both times. I have already booked him a third time It is clear that Steve takes a pride in his work. In addition he is punctual, reliable and very considerate around the house and he charges a fair price. The good reviews he already has ring true to my own experience, and I have no hesitation in giving him an excellent reference .

Dealt with two peeling bathroom ceilings. Steve and Will were excellent. Brilliant communication, prompt visit to assess the job and a competitive quote. Arrived on time and completed the job to a high standard with great care taken to minimise mess. When an unanticipated issue arose with the extractor fans in both bathrooms the team went above and beyond to replace the fans, returning the following day to install the new ones. I highly recommend Acclaim Home Improvements and will use their services in the future.

Steve and Will did a fantastic job of plastering and painting our ceilings. We felt confident in Steve’s ability to get the job done right from the initial enquiry - he was happy to answer all our questions and advise us, where necessary. The job was completed quicker than expected and to a very high standard, with as little mess as possible. We will definitely be using Acclaim for future projects.

We have now had Steve decorate and plaster 3 rooms and an ensuite. Superb work and service. Really difficult to find tradesmen who carry out work to a high standard, but Acclaim definitely meet that criteria! We are in the process of booking them for another room and would have no hesitation in recommending them. Thanks guys and look forward to seeing you again soon!

Stephen was contacted as a matter of some urgency as our hall ceiling had fallen down and was unsafe. Stephen undertook the work making safe the hall until a mutually convenient time was arranged to repair the hall. Stephen and Will arrived promptly on the arranged day and worked hard and quietly, answering any questions we may have had. Will even repaired our downstairs toilet which was much appreciated. Stephen and Will thank you so much we are delighted with your work and the finished product you have been a consummate professionals and we are bowled over with your communication, attention to detail, cleanliness and fair price for the work, we have already recommended you to at least 5 people don’t get too busy I may need you back to do other jobs. It truly has been a pleasure to have a wonderful professional restoring our home back to its former self Thank you.

Work to be carried out was to plaster and put coving up in a bed room. As a 70yr old female who finds the process of finding people to do these sort of jobs difficult. But was put at ease by Steve. They were prompt did exactly what was asked of them. A very professional job. And cleaned up afterwards, very impressed. Highly recommend. .

We engaged Acclaim Home Improvements to skim to a smooth finish old artex ceilings in 2 reception rooms and the hall, stairs and landing, and seal and emulsion the new plaster. Steve provided a very professional, and competitive quote, and quickly agreed a mutually convenient start date with us. Steve and Will arrived on time throughout the work, ensured all carpets were protected, and worked hard throughout to deliver a very high quality finish. The areas were cleaned up well at the end of the work. I would not hesitate to recommend Acclaim Home Improvements and will certainly use them again.

We have used Steve and his team a few years ago to decorate our lounge. The work carried out was so impressive together with their professionalism that we had no reason not to use them again to decorate a bedroom. Again they did a superb job to a very high standard. We will definitely continue to use again in the future. Thanks Steve.

Steve came to assess the damage to my flat after my upstairs neighbour flooded her kitchen and bathroom. As he walked round and wrote down what needs doing, I thought I'm never going to be able to afford this out of my pension, but no worry. His was the best of 3 quotes. They arrived promptly to start the work and carried it out professionally and cheerfully. The work soon completed and everything replaced and cleaned. Can only praise Steve and his 2 helpers and would recommend them to anyone.

We recently had repair work to a bowing ceiling carried out by Acclaim Home Improvements. From start to finish, the level of service and professionalism was absolutely fantastic. Steve was a very friendly gent, who came out to assess and quote us for the repair work required. We opted for going for a full-ceiling repair as we felt that it would be better in the long-run to ensure the ceiling would be future-proof. We did not feel rushed, or pressured into the work and Steve was more than happy to answer any questions we had and alleviate any anxieties we had about having this sort of work carried out. We were booked in by Cath, who was again very polite and professional and on the day of the works, Steve attended with two other plasterers and carried out the work and repairs and it was all completed on the same day and finished to a very high-standard. Once the works were completed, Steve ensured we were both happy with things and explained what would happen next as well as offer advice and guidance on after-care/decorating of the ceiling. Overall, we were highly-satisfied with Acclaim Home Improvements, and will be sure to use them again for any further works we may need to have done on the property. Thanks again Steve, you did a sterling job and have our appreciation for everything you did. .Moreexpand_more

My 82 year old mum had a water leak from a shower above her hallway. Cutting a long story short we needed the entire hall ceiling down, put back, plastered. And then the entire room re-decorated. I live in London, so this was going to be a massive headache. My mum lives in Hampshire. I actually Googled 'awesome decorator super star hashtag nice bloke Hampshire'. And ta da! Steve Mann appeared. From start to finish. From coming over to quote on the job to cleaning up = a massive ten out of ten. Their work is exemplary. The team = The best. If you read this review and don't use Team Steve you've only got yourself to blame. A massive thank you mate. Jonny.Moreexpand_more

Great finish and quick turnaround. I am a very sceptical client, so take it from me, they ticked the boxes.

Steve turned up on time and quickly got on with the job required. Put in measures to protect the furniture beforehand. The job was done to a high standard and in quick time with no shirking of duties. On completion cleaned up, was very polite. Would recommend his services to all who wanted a reliable and professional tradesman also priced very competitively.

Wow! What can I say. I had a mould ridden damp bedroom, which needed a very good clean. Steve, Will and Elliott came in as though they were superpowered, they only had a short time to change this dingy, dark room into something habitable. Nothing was too much trouble, they were honest, polite and kind. They arrived early and on time (how many builders do that). Steve found some problems and was honest telling me. They cleaned and treated the mould, looked to see where it might be coming from and repaired, painted the room, got rid of the stains, installed new vanity unit, basin and cabinet that I had bought previously (unfortunately they had to put it together). Steve gave me a colour book for the paint and it is brilliant. Now when you walk into this bright, clean room you cannot believe what it used to look like. I would recommend Steve and his team to anyone, they cleaned up after themselves, respected the property even putting shoe covers on before entering. All I can say is a great big THANK YOU to all of them. PS have to say the singing is quite entertaining.Moreexpand_more

We needed quotes from companies as we had water damage and our ceilings and walls needed to be repaired. Steve arranged a suitable time to come out to us and was quick and efficient with providing me with what I needed to pass on to my insurance company. Steve and his team were brilliant. They scheduled both the kitchen and the bedroom in one week and arrived on time every day. Their work is to a very high quality and my kitchen looks brand new! We will be seeking further quotes from Steve, as now we know and trust the team, I would like them involved in our other house projects. Highly recommend.

Steve came and installed coving and skimmed a new plasterboard ceiling. I would have no hesitation in recommending Steve or using him again. Being a perfectionist, I'm a little choosy who I ask to carry out work for me but very happy with the quality of workmanship and for a very competitive price.
Steve Crosse

Steve at acclaim home improvements came to quote at a stressful time for our family as our ceiling had collapsed. Steve came to check it was safe and recommended a way forward. His quote was competitive and his work was of the highest standard, you wouldn’t even know there had been a problem. Steve is returning soon to carry out further work on another room. I would highly recommend.
