"We have used Matt twice now and are so so happy with the results both times - he is fairly priced, his work is always perfect, he is punctual, friendly and informative when I ask for advice. I would definitely recommend and would not use anyone else over him now - thank you so much Matt and team!"

"Matt and his team did an excellent job plastering our bathroom ceiling. They went above and beyond to ensure everything looked perfect. This was a very short notice job and I’m so pleased they were able to fit us in. Thank you so much and we will definitely be in contact with you again when we need the rest of the house doing."

Review by Marcus Goldman

"Matt from Skimfast plastered our living room, doing all the walls and the ceiling, and the finish is absolutely spot on. He arrived on time, got straight on with the job, and worked efficiently throughout the day. The plastering itself is really smooth and even, and you can tell straight away that he knows exactly what he’s doing. Matt was also very tidy and respectful of the house, making sure everything was protected and cleaning up properly before he left. The room was left in great condition considering the amount of work involved. Overall, we’re extremely pleased with the result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Matt to anyone looking for a reliable plasterer who takes pride in their work. We’ll definitely be using him again."
