Mirror Finish Plastering

Groundwork / Foundations in Houghton Le Spring

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

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.
