Miro gave me a fair price and had a slot so could do the work next day. He did an excellent job and was polite, clean and tidy. Had a short lunch break and was finished mid afternoon. Would recommend.

What is dry lining/plasterboard?
Drylining refers to the process of attaching plasterboard to a wall or ceiling to create a smooth surface for decorating. Unlike traditional wet plastering, drylining is faster and less labor-intensive, making it a popular choice for modern construction and renovations. Plasterboard is a key component of drylining and is used for creating interior walls, ceilings, and partitions. It’s versatile, easy to work with, and can be repaired quickly if damaged.

I am absolutely delighted with Val's work. I sent out a SOS looking for someone to re-plaster a wall that was badly damaged after having wallpaper removed. I needed the job done with some urgency as I am on a tight schedule. Val responded within minutes of me posting the job & was happy to work out of hours as he knew I needed the job done quickly. He arrived promptly & the job was completed in 4 hours to a wonderful standard at a very fair price. I would highly recommend Val!
