Very pleased
From the initial quotation - which was very reasonable – until the final job, Kaspars was very professional and did a great job plastering my bathroom ceiling. He was always prepared to work within my timeframe, arrived on time and was very, very thorough. It was a pleasure dealing with him. A really genuine guy. Will definitely use him again.
