James kindly squeezed us into his schedule for a small repair to our coving in the bathroom. James was prompt with his communication and arrived when he said he would - and completed the job exactly as he described. We felt it was a fair price for the work, he was very clean/tidy, took his shoes off in the house and was communicative thru his work. Very happy, would recommend.

James has saved us. Our builder had booked a company to repair the cornice that was destroyed while building a kitchen extension. But they were unavailable. I found James online. And contacted him via email. He got in touch with me straight away, I was impressed. And he did a really good job on our cornice. He finished the job in 2 days and we are very happy with the result. And It cost much less than our builder had quoted. Thank you James! Highly recommend.

James was really excellent. The workmanship was perfect; he matched up the pattern with real expertise and used casting plaster to make all the mitres and joins seamless. He takes great care in his work and it really shows. He was also very punctual, and super tidy – hoovering multiple times and protecting our brand new floor. He was also very polite and went over and above what was required. Highly recommend!
Repairing part of ceiling including restoring Cornice to fit with rest of ceiling
Job location: SW16
James carried out t he repair Work exactly as he proposed both in terms of time and in terms of quality and finish. Clearing up and taking away rubbish when he was done. I was very pleased with the overall work.
Reproduce and repair damaged ornate cornice
Job location: SE3
The ceiling in my master bedroom collapsed pulling about 7 metres of cornice down with it. I contacted James and he understood my need for the work to be carried out quickly given the fact I had young children living in the house. He attended my property the following day and met with my builder who was replacing the ceiling. They both agreed what needed to be done and James took impressions of the remaining cornice. A few days later he returned with the new cornice and fitted it to the new ceiling. The whole job had taken less than a week and I couldn’t even see the join. Highly recommended.

James matched and replaced a tricky area of original coving that had come down due to previous building work. He was very professional, took great care in the work and we couldn’t be happier with how well it matches the original. Thanks : )
Fitting a Victorian ceiling rose
Job location: SE18
James was knowledgable and thorough. The work was completed to a very high standard. James even moved the light fitting to the centre of the room at no extra charge. This made the over all finish even better. He was very polite and professional and took time to clear up as he went along and at the end.
Replacing cornice moulding
Job location: TW11
Impeccable work. Really happy.
Refixing Cornices in 4 rooms
Job location: SM2
James did a great job replacing a missing cornice and refixing two further lengths of cornice that had dropped. He then screwed and filled in holes for cornices in four rooms to ensure that we have no further problems. Very professional job, certainly knows his trade, would not hesitate to use James again.
Patching ceiling in kitchen after water damage
Job location: SM4
A great service, no rush in completing job, very professional service and perfection to detail.
Repair to Living Room Cornice
Job location: W7
James was very knowledgeable and efficient. This gave me confidence that he would do a good job. He turned up on time, was polite and good natured. James was able to reproduce my old Edwardian cornice, by hand, without the aid of a mould. I can honestly say that by the time he had finished, you couldn’t tell where the repair was. The cornice has since been painted and I’m delighted with the high standard of James’s work, I’d instantly recommend him to anyone. Thanks James.

Plastering of dividing wall for nursery and around two doorways
Job location: SW16
James was very professional and helpful from the start. He was a good communicator and was clear about the service he could provide. We were happy with the quote he provided after having a previous quote from another plasterer which we thought was unreasonable. He attended to complete the job on time and on the agreed day, he was tidy and wanted to make sure we were happy with the work. I would recommend him to anyone seeking a plasterer and nice to find a trusted and hard working trades person we can rely on in the future.
Skimmed one wall
