CR Building and Plastering

Multiple walls and ceiling plaster. AVOID. If you want to save your money and a lot of stress, then look elsewhere. Works carried out included large kitchen diner reboard and skim, skim 3 walls in kitchen, 1 wall in hall, and 2 ceilings in hall/landing. We received a competitive quote from Craig, friendly during the works etc, and works looked good upon completion, unfortunately we’re now left with needing to replaster the kitchen ceiling and many of the walls. The professionals who have quoted to fix the work suspect a poor mix, or old plaster. After contacting Craig to inform him of the issues, three different dates were arranged to come and fact find/fix, the first two he cancelled relatively last minute, the third date which he promised “I have nothing on for Monday, I will come and sort it”, did not show up, ignored every message and phone call, every voicemail, so really has let us down. Upon closer inspection of the cracks in the boarded and skimmed ceiling, every crack has appeared along the tape lines. At least two of the cracks are resulting from easily moveable boards. The wall cracks have appeared mostly around the switches and sockets, and have spread in some cases to in excess of a meter in all directions. One of the back boxes has been poorly finished, requiring filling around the top too. We gave Craig multiple chances to come back and sort, waited and waited, called and called, and he basically doesn’t want to know, hence the accurate and honest review. Sorry. But avoid folks.Moreexpand_more

Craig came and quoted for the job within an hour. We accepted the quote and the job was completed the next day. He was extremely polite and efficient and went above and beyond what was expected. I highly recommend Craig to anyone who needs a plasterer, and his after care advice was well received. He made our tired old ceiling look brand new. Thank you once again Craig ? .

After two separate water leaks destroying the artexed ceilings in two different rooms, I invited Craig to quote, subsequently hiring him. Craig is an absolute joy to work with! He is not only knowledgable, but hard-working and diligent and offers advice where necessary or when asked for, communicating well at all stages of the job. From preparation (moving fixtures and fittings and furniture) through performing the ceiling repairs, skimming and plastering through to clearing up and putting things back in place afterwards, Craig takes the care and makes the effort that is usually so sadly lacking nowadays. He makes you feel involved and that nothing is too much trouble! For a very reasonably-priced but nonetheless excellent job, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Craig for any skimming and plastering jobs!
