Callum did an excellent job replacing a sagging ceiling in an old house. Great communicator - very responsive and flexible to our timings. Wonderful job on the ceiling including new cornices and rose. Did great tidy up after too! Would highly recommend and use again.

Callum restored a section of our lath and plaster ceiling and the cornice in the front room of our 1880's house. We can't speak highly enough of his professionalism and the quality of the work.
The ceiling had been previously repaired which was not immediately obvious and once started, made the work particularly challenging. Callum kept us fully informed of the situation and our options, and completed the work cleanly, efficiently, and with very high quality.
We have no hesitation in recommending him

We had a section of ceiling/cornice in our 1890 terrace start to look like it would come down (after jack hammering next door) plus we had a couple of sections of wall upstairs that had become drummy and were possibly going to detach. Plus a few other repairs to cornices we'd been putting off for years.
Callum came around and assessed it and gave us a quote for fixing with traditional lime plaster. He explained that this material would work better for an old house which is always shifting and never quite square.
We had another cheaper quote but it was based on me sending a mobile photo of the areas and was not really credible to me on that basis.
The section of ceiling/cornice fell down the day Callum and team started!
Callum and team did a great job. They are very professional and know their stuff. They cleaned up very thoroughly after each day's work. They are nice guys who are respectful of women unlike some old style tradies. The results looks great and the price was very reasonable given the amount of work involved. I'd use them again without question.
