Carl and his team did a fantastic job when working on my garage extension and conversion project. It was the first time that I’ve ever done this type of thing but Carl’s communication was spot on from start to finish. He was courteous and communicative throughout and talked me through each day where the project was at and what was next. If I had to appoint a builder again for whatever reason I wouldn’t hesitate in appointing Martin Building Ltd to complete the job. Thanks again Carl!

All good

Mirror Finish Plastering is a company since 1992. Since serving my time as a qualified plasterer, which i won apprentice of the year in Sunderland in 1991, my business has grown from strength to strength. Owning several houses of my own in the rental market, I also work for many Landlors over the years. Not only do I do my own plastering, I do everything that`s needed to do before the tenant moves in: incl. joinery, electrics and gas (which does require the need of a qualified gas engineer and electrician to sign off the work that I do). I pride myself for my timekeeping and punctuality. Once I start a job, I always stay on it, till it´s complete, before I move onto the next one. But the biggest pride I have is, after 29 years of plastering, I have always had a great response from all my customers and NEVER had a call back. Thanks for reading my review and hope to do business with you in the near future David

Excellent job, 10 out of 10! As a landlady I had few plasterers working for me, David is the best. His work, knowledge (all sorts of building issues) and attitude are more than just professional. To find one person for all of the jobs saves not just money but time and hassle. I will definitely work with him in the future

Initially I was sceptical about using this service, but within 5 minutes of placing my advert I was contacted by this company. They did everything they said they would do, arrived on time, worked effciently and cleanly and more importantly cleaned up after them which I think is always a good sign from a tradesman. I would certainly recommend this company to anyone requiring work of a similar nature to mine. Although not a roofing expert I assessed the work to be cleanly and very competently carried out.
