What qualifications do they need

Posted by lesley wilmot, on
My job might need the polystyrene tiles being removed and possibly the ceiling re-plastered. How do I know they are qualified to do this. What decorating experience do they have and do I need a recent client for reference

Polystyrene tiles are only stuck to a ceiling, you don’t have to be a decorator to remove these ( we have removed quite a few of these over the years ) this is a job you could do yourself with a bladed scraper, as for the Plastering Your best bet is to read the reviews of some of the spreads on here to sort the good from the bad.
