The quick way to find a local Standard Coving specialist

Reviewed by Mark on 28/11/2011

Darren provided practical solutions to an unusual build, and a proper estimate. As the work was about to start the spec' changed a few times, and Darren was helpful with that. We agreed a new price and signed a straightforward agreement. Security was never an issue - we had no issue with giving Darren keys and access. He turned up when he said he would and always went through the issues of the day and the progress of the day on site and on the phone. The project has worked out really well, and it has been a very good working relationship. We have no hesitation in recommending Darren - he was helpful throughout, including managing the occassional curved ball. He runs work from a joinery led perspective, and has a wide range of understanding about the other trades and what should happen when. A pleasure to work with!

We recently made a moved into a property in Bredbury. As the property required some rooms to be plastered we looked at Rated People to find a plasterer in the area. We found Darren McConnel who had very good ratings, so we agree a very reasonable price to plaster our kitchen. The work was done to our complete satisfaction so we agree to have another room plastered. I would certainly recommend Darren, his work is to a very high standard, he is very reliable and left the property clean and tidy.

We required some plastering work doing at short notice. Within the hour Rick had contacted me and put together a very reasonable quote. Rick completed the work to an excellent standard. He was punctual, hard working and tidy. I would highly recommend Rick to carry out any plastering you require.

Carl responded quickly to the request. He arrived on time and carried out the work with no issues. He worked carefully around new fitted furniture and was respectful to our property eg mixing plaster outside and changing footwear to go upstairs. He left us with clear instructions and cleared up before he went. He is a friendly polite no nonsense tradesman.

Would highly recommend. Fair price and Anthony was very reliable and helpful. Explained what parts we needed and what needed to be done to fix guttering after falling down. Very polite and courteous. We believe this company does various tasks wouldn’t hesitate asking him to do a job for us again or recommended colleagues.

This man did a great job and I've since had him do my bathroom and then a massive job in my lounge. Immaculate work. Great personality. Always eager to make his customers happy. Unfortunately I've lost his number recently so if you see this Paul, please get in touch.
