What an absolute ignorant ass h you are! I don't know why the plasterer suggested doing one room first - but I would be surprised if it was because he felt he could not trust us. Perhaps because he knew we had two other companies in for quotes he wanted to 'offer' us the chance to see his...

Blooming heck mate. Calm down. The majority of you will all get your work through recommendation - and that's the way it should be. If you do a good job, people will always recommend you and then a scenario of do a room first isn't even going to come into the equation. To someone new to the...

Actually it was the plasterers suggestion (although I was going to suggest one room first). What you have to remember, I have no references on how good this person is. I haven't seen any of his work.

Hopefully! The work/price has been agreed in principle but the guy is supposed to be coming in for two days next week to do a room. If we are happy with the quality of his work, he is going to book us in for the rest of the house. I've got this nagging feeling he's not going to turn up. If...

The timetable for the train is 70mins and the AA routemap said it was an hour and 40 mins which does seem a long way to travel. I'm just getting my bearings in East Devon. Once I'm living in the area I will be soon adjust to travel times. At the moment I am in the South East of England and...

TBH, it's none of your business if I feel that I want to work with a tradesperson who is nearer.

I think FreeD is talking sh ite. No carrots are being dangled - if I have good trades people, I like to hang on to them and use them over and over. It really is a no-brainer! I enjoy renovating properties (although, house at Lympstone will be my new home), but the second I am settled, I will...

Thanks Bobby. I will look you up when I do a project over your way as I need to build a new list of good trades people.

CRB check - Oh, I forgot to mention that. Yes definitely CRB checks and my job is very stressful (making tea all day) so I expect that place to be spick and span at 4pm so I can relax. And did I mention no swearing? :frenetico:

Just discovered Bobby is in Barnstaple which I think is too far (90 minutes drive). Grateful for any good Plasterers nearer to EX8 - Exmouth/Lympstone. Many thanks Terri 07796 097444

I've messaged you Bobby. If you can't see it, please check in your spam box.

Oops - forgot bathroom and hall stairs and landing!!

Hi Apologies - I should have given more details. EX8 is Lympstone (2 miles from Exmouth). More info about the job: It's a 3 bedroom house, we have taken the majority of the walls back to brick work after first fix of electrics. House is about 75 years old and the plaster just crumbled...

Hi We are renovating our 3 bed house - it's a lovely mess at moment and we are almost ready for the plastering. If EX8 is in your regular working area and you do a good job, please PM me with your contact details. Many thanks
