I recently had 3 rooms skimmed, I posted the job on mybuilder. The guy had has over 100 positive reviews and 100% feedback. He wasn't some cheap cowboy either. I mean he hasn't had a complete shocker, the walls look better than before. A few dents in the walls and these small tiny holes that you can see when upclose, but considering he told me that "he knows his stuff, knows how good he is" I expected much better. I also asked him if he could plaster down to the floor as much as possible, instead he forced me into buying really tall skirting because he didn't listen.

I'm in the Milton Keynes area so would appreciate if if somebody knows a good plasterer in the area.

First mistake was using a stupid website. Personal recommendations are your way forward. (y)
 
Dont you just love it when a customer calls and says oh you did some work for my friend/family so you've been reccomend and I'd like a quote,then you quote and they like oh ive just got 2 more quotes to get
Makes my skin crawl that, you’ve been recommended by family/friend members but still want 5 quotes, don’t even entertain them type of clients, waste of oxygen

Not trying to be a c**t but it don't happen mate. I love recommendations solely because there’s no competition, If I’ve been recommended then the jobs mine and I can normally write my own cheque. (y)

70% of my work is recommended but loads of calls I get happen like that,like the ritch said there the lowest of level of tight arses people that do that so I wouldnt want to work for them anyway
 
Feel for the guy who’s posted another customer who just wants a job done , it’s not just plasterers either everywhere we look no one seems to give a shot anymore , I was stressing out last week on a job then took five to get myself together, was looking around at all the other trades thinking these lot don’t give a s**t , funny thing was none of them were stressed

Anyway for your domestic jobs mate google British Gypsum’s certified plasterers scheme, it’s nation wide and was set up to give the public quality plasterers in your area not this comedy fraudulent crap you get on my builder
