The quick way to find a local Plasterer / Renderer in Barnstaple

Matthew overcharged for materials. He told me he paid £40 at Screwfix for the spikes. I was shocked and asked for a copy of the receipt but he didn't provide it. I did pay him in cash for the work then checked the price at Screwfix. The cost is £29.99 not £40. As a result, I cannot recommend him.

I was very happy with the work that Lee did on my job. He was very flexbile and happy to work around situations that needed a bit of remedy. His work was very tidy.

Matt & Rich completed our conversation on time and at a good price. They solved any issues that arose without a problem. We have since employed them again to complete a refurbishment on our holiday home. Would certainly recommend them to anyone.

Actually, didn't do the job I posted on Rated people, but carried out other work for me. This was to a good enough standard that I have asked to be quoted on getting more work done along the lines of what was ordinarily asked for.

Work was completed very promptly with absolutely no issues with workmanship. Completed to a very high quality and finish. Excellent value for the monies paid. Very impressed and will defiantly use again in the future

A person from the company came to the house, looked at the job, promised an estimate. Haven't heardanything since.

Hard working and skilled tradesmen. They take the of the hassle away from getting the job right. Would recommend.

I will not be recommending this company as the workmanship done by Abcot Plastering is terrible, I offered a return to put works right, but as Abcot Plastering refused to take responsibility for very poor workmanship, and declined to put all works right to a proffesional standard. I am now having to pay for all works to be redone elsewhere.

Paul has been a fabulous help to both us and my mum’s house/ garden. He has listened to our requirements, offered sound advice and always highlighted cost effective options. He has undertaken cement work, fencing, power washing, garden maintenance at all levels plus many other jobs to secure ‘winterise’ our homes and gardens. He supplies the correct equipment to get the jobs done on time and within a sensible budget. No hesitation in recommending him.

Good communication, turned up on time. Fitting was atrocious - five hours fitting a stair carpet, which was left with holes, not stretched or properly attached. He didn't know how to fit turns or curves. Our woodwork was damaged badly with his knife. When I politely pointed these things out, he collected his tools and left without taking payment and said that he "hadn't wanted to do the job anyway" despite the fact he viewed before and quoted. Carpet may have to be replaced. Very stressful/awkward.

I arranged an appointment for you to provide an estimate for the job. You failed to come, nor have you contacted me during the week since to explain, apologise or rearrange the appointment.

Never ever contacted us to provide a quote so not impressed

Reviewed by Margaret on 3/9/2022

One star as that was the lowest I could choose. Threatened to have us fined as they claimed we accepted a quote they did not give. Left some of our waste on our neighbours property and claimed that we shortchanged them so demanded a further £20.00 Not to be trusted I'm afraid.

Came to quote. Agreed to take on the job. Contacted me that morning to cancel as he "had to sort out a problem with existing job". After a few weeks I called to arrange a new date at 5pm and he agreed to come the following morning. Texted my address again as requested (admittedly on the morning he was due but before he had arranged to turn up. Received text telling me he thought I had changed my mind and was doing another job. This is less than 12 hours after we agreed. Getting someone else.

very pushy big headed, couldn't understand why I wanted more than his quote, would not give detailed written quote, price was nearly double everybody else, not very impressed with rated people and wouldn't use them again, only got two names and wouldn't use either, got better response from Thompson's
