Latest Reviews and Feedback

Colin was so helpful. I had my upvc windows replaced a couple of years ago and the fitters had just used plastic trim to repair where the plaster had come away on the reveal. Colin came and provide a quote despite it being a fiddly and small job. I was extremely pleased to have the reveal repaired and he fitted the job in very quickly for me. Colin is super tidy and clean. He made sure to clean up afterwards and protected the areas he was working on to make sure nothing was damaged. I can recommend Colin very highly.

Colin carried out a re plastering job in our downstairs cloakroom. He did a great job , was very thorough in his work and we would have no hesitation in using him again and recommending him to others.

GF 02 26

Colin has now undertaken 2 no rooms with ceiling plaster skims to cover artex ceiling into flat plater ceiling. He is punctual, polite, hard working, and adaptable. He undertakes his work in a very professional manner. He leaves the rooms as tidy as before the works started - no mess, cleans up after himself. The end result is exactly how I wanted it. I would highly recommend C J Plastering services for all your plastering requirements.

Colin has completed two jobs for me now, he has replaced the ceiling in my living room and also my kitchen - both times he was quick to respond, to confirm a date to start the work and so professional in his delivery. Not to mention the finishing result - absolutely brilliant. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Colin to anyone, he’s fantastic.

HH 12 25

Colin was brilliant. He looked for solutions rather than problems and always got things sorted. Flexible as much as his busy diary allows and good communication too. End result is fantastic and good value. Definitely recommend.

DK 12 25

I have used Colin 4 times. He is always on time, very tidy and clearly an incredibly experienced plasterer. I would recommend him to anyone.

MR 11 25

We have used Colin a couple of times now to skim artex-covered ceilings and have been delighted with the results. A skilled professional who takes pride in his work. When I pointed out that one section would be covered by fitted wardrobes so he didn't need to make it perfect he replied - "Ah, but I'll know it's there."! A pleasure to deal with from beginning to end. Prompt responses to enquiries, care taken to keep working area tidy and a very fair price for a top-class job. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

PG 10 25

Colin skimmed a number of our ceilings to cover over the old Artex finish. He did a very good job and he was particularly careful to make as little mess as possible. His charges were competitive and we are very happy with his work.

MM 06 25

Colin had done an excellent plastering job at our property in Binfield. He had to return to the property several times to complete the job from start to finish. Whenever he said he would call, he did promptly. He supported us with various other issues within the property and overall, his involvement had been very helpful. His fee was very reasonable and fair and I view him to be a reliable and trustworthy craftsman. I would recommend him unconditionally within his trade.

Colin and Mark did a great job mending and replastering the bedroom ceiling at my Dad's house in Maidenhead. They were both kindly moved all the furniture and personal pictures, etc into one of the other rooms and after the work was done, they cleared up and hoovered everywhere, so it was all left clean and tidy. Colin also recommended a local painter who we've now booked to come and paint the ceiling. I can highly recommend CJ Plastering.

AM 09 24

Colin and his team did a very good job of re-plastering two of my ceilings. They arrived early and worked hard to get the job done to a good quality. They cleared up carefully, and were friendly and helpful. I would use CJ Plastering again and recommend them.

PS 06 24

Colin and his assistant Mark did a good job re-plastering two of our ceilings. Colin responded quickly to my call and we agreed a price and date without delay. The work has been done to a good standard, and they took care to protect walls and furniture. They also cleaned up carefully before they left. I would recommend CJ Plastering.

P 05 24

Colin skimmed two ceilings in my home. One large bedroom ceiling and one small textured ceiling in the entryway. Colin was polite and courteous from our first interaction, turned up when he said he would, stuck to the quote and took the time to explain things that I was curious about. I was very pleased with the work that Colin did and appreciated him making sure that I was happy with the level of tidying up before he left. Overall, I would say that Colin is as clean and tidy as you can be with plastering, very reasonably priced, is hardworking and is a genuinely nice person. Most importantly as a young female living alone I found Colin to be very respectful and I felt comfortable having him in my home. If I need any other plastering work done I will most definitely be asking Colin to come back and would not hesitate to recommend him to my family and friends.

JE 04 24

Excellent job smoothing over a textured ceiling. Arrived on time, polite and nicely cleaned-up afterwards.

Brilliant Job ! Colin came this morning - on time as promised. Super tidy and efficient - did a great job and finished an hour ahead of schedule !! Fully recommend.

PB 01

Colin quoted to fix the hole and skim plaster our utility ceiling. The job was a little more difficult when he started but he did not charge us any extra. His price was very reasonable and he was very easy to deal with and kept us informed throughout. He covered everything with dust sheets and was a very tidy worker, clearing up as he went. He fully tidied up afterwards and even insisted on mopping the floor ! We would definitely recommend him.

JH 12.23

Everything you actually want and need. Answered the phone straight away, called back to arrange quote. Turned up to quote when he said. A fair price. Turned up when he said to do the job. Did an excellent job. This sort of service rarely happens these days. Thanks again.

SB 08 23

I can highly recommend Colin. He arrived for a quote and was very reliable. Always arriving on time. The work he did was excellent, even the kitchen fitter was impressed with the plastering.

JP 10 23

Contacted Colin to skim two stippled artex ceilings and he came round promptly and quoted for the work. Very happy with the work and arrived on time and cleaned up thoroughly so happy to recommend. Will use again for future projects and he went further and did a couple of extras also.

MV 06 22

I am thrilled with my skimmed ceilings. I cannot recommend this company enough. Arrived on time to complete the work, they offered to help me move large items of furniture as I live alone. They protected everything and cleared up afterwards. The quality of the finish is excellent and great value for money.

BM 04 22

Colin skimmed our bathroom and bedroom ceilings and did a fantastic job! Colin and his work mate were professional, tidied and cleaned up well. Nothing was too much, being heavily pregnant they moved a bed frame and were careful to cover flooring. I would highly recommend!

RS 02 22

I can't recommend Colin and Danny highly enough. They did a superb plastering job, screwed the sockets back on afterwards and, given that plastering is a messy business, they were very careful with the property.

MR 07 21

Colin is experienced and obliging. He is very efficient, and he organised a couple of extra plasterers for what was a very large ceiling in our living room. He was clean and tidy, and did a really good job. He came when he said he would for both the quote and the job. I would highly recommend him.

MP 06 21

Absolutely brilliant, we had a small job that needed to be done quickly as house had been sold and we needed to put right a ceiling where skimming had fallen. Excellent job, came when he said he would. A real answer to prayer and his work was exemplary. Definitely your man.

SK 05 21

Colin plastered our kitchen prior to a new one being fitted and then also plastered my daughters bedroom - ceiling and walls in both rooms. Have to say that it's a fantastic job and I also enjoyed Colin's company - he's a very tidy worker and nothing was too much trouble - thoroughly recommend CJ Plastering.

Called CJ Plastering in a panic to repair part of a ceiling that had fallen down. Colin responded very quickly gave me a quote and soon came round to patch us up. Really nice guy and did a great job, leaving everything clean and tidy. Highly recommended!

PR 03 21

We had Colin and Danny here to plaster holes made buy plumbers in our garage. Just to say they were fantastic. They did a superb job and made sure everything was clean and tidy before leaving.

RE 02 21

Colin was really great. Easy to contact, on time, brilliant work, great price and very helpful. I fully recommend his plastering and him as a genuinely kind human being. Will definitely be using again.

GC 12 20

Nice prompt service, and great results. Would recommend.                                                                       

JP 12 20

Colin did a superb job plastering two-wall s in our Mater Bedroom that face the outside adding traditional insulation and lime-based topcoat of plaster. We wanted to use cork as a natural breathable nontoxic insulation with lime plastering over the top for a traditional finish and to retain the breathability so important on a Georgian house were the traditional construction always requires walls to naturally allow air to dry the mortars and bricks. The finished job is a much better insulated warmer wall that looks fantastic. Colin has a “can do attitude” which was important when working with traditional materials and as Colin did this work at the end of last year I can say that after painting it is a fantastic finish with no problems, we will be using Colin again in the future.

ME 08 20

I recently needed a water damaged artex ceiling repaired and replastered. Colin has done a fantastic job. Very professional finish, arrived on time and very efficient. He even recommended an excellent follow on painter. Highly recommended.

MR 08 20

Colin is a fantastic tradesman, he answers the phone, calls back, turns up on-time, fantastic and knowledgable plasterer, and leaves everything tidy. I really cannot rate Colin high enough - I highly recommend you use him! A pleasure to have in your home. 10 out of 10. Thanks again, Colin!

I highly recommend Colin and his son. They did a fantastic job for me, came when they agreed, were a joy to have in the house and cleaned up with care after they had finished. I will definitely be asking them to do my next plastering job.

PW 07 20

Would very much recommend Colin and his son Danny. Good communication, arrived on time and in less than 4 hours my old landing ceiling was replaced and skimmed! Tidied up as they went and took away my natural anxiety. Whenever I embark on the next part of renovating my Victorian terrace I will definitely call upon them again so thank you.

MH 07 20

All round top man. I needed someone at short notice after being let down by another trader. Colin and his son Danny came along and did a first class job. Very professional, great job and has been back to do more work for us. Will go to Colin first with any plastering jobs.

NC 07 20

Colin and his son Danny (plus a helper) completed a very messy removal of 125-year-old lathe plaster with new plasterboard and a beautiful, smooth skim. They were punctual, hard-working and a pleasure to deal with. The price of the work was very competitive too. I have no hesitation in recommending them for any plastering work you are considering.

I have just had Colin to plaster round two door ways. Excellent job. Leaves everywhere very tidy and clean which is a massive help. Would recommend Colin to anyone who need s a good reliable plasterer.

RO 03 20

Colin has just done a great job plastering my bathroom ceiling as part of a refit, coming at fairly short notice on a Saturday morning to fit in with plumber and tiler. He covered up the newly-tiled floor and the stairs while he was working and tidied it all up when he'd finished. I would definitely recommend him and will ask him again next time I need anything done.

JB 02 20

Colin has just completed two ceilings for me. He was prompt, friendly and did an excellent job, actually doing more than he was asked to do. He ensured everything was covered before starting and cleaned up at the end of the job. Would not hesitate to use him again. Fantastic job. Thank you.

SM 02 20

Colin and his son did a great job on my bedroom walls. They covered the stairs and other carpets leaving no mess. They were also really careful around existing woodwork which saved me money on the project overall. A very smooth finish that looks awesome now it is painted. Shall be getting them back for the next job.

AB 12 19

Utterly fantastic, I found Colin in 2001 and he always makes time for me, very skilled, very knowledgable and entirely trustworthy when it comes to pricing the job and access to property when I can’t be there. Advises on aspects beyond plastering to mean he’s a safe pair of hands to progress any project. First class!

JB 11 19

Colin has just completed a small plastering job for me to a very high standard. In addition, and on his own initiative, he corrected the work of a previous plasterer to provide excellent smooth surfaces ready for decorating. I will readily use Colin for any future plastering and will recommend to friends as well. Thanks again Colin.

PS 10 19

Colin does a good job, at a reasonable rate and is a nice person to boot. Colin has done several jobs for us, one replastering a whole room and Colin very helpfully advised me which bits of preparation I could do myself to save on cost. More recently we had Colin for a day filling loads of ceiling holes where we had moved ceiling lighting and also other plastering bits and bobs including some repair to external concrete posts that has become badly cracked. Thanks Colin!

JC 09 19

I have used CJ Plastering twice now for renovation works and I am always impressed by their professionalism. No fuss, just good work done well and on time at a fair cost. They turn up when they say they are going to and tell you straight what can and cannot be done. Top rated father and son business that I highly recommend.

AW 08 19

I have used Colin Latham several times now for skimming over my Artex ceilings. I cannot recommend him enough, his work is of a very high standard and he is extremely experienced.

I would not hesitate to use Colin or recommend him to friends, he is a really good find.

SA 04 19

Colin was quick to respond to my request through this directory and to fit the job into his schedule.

He even returned to fit the spots back in after I finished painting as I was unable to do so myself.

If any problems arise he returns and rectifies. I would not hesitate to highly recommend him. He does a fantastic job for a reasonable price.

PF 02 19

I can thoroughly recommend Colin, when he saw the mess we were left in after having a kitchen fitted he said that he could not leave us like that for Christmas and undertook the work on what was meant to be the first day of his Christmas break. The work has been completed to a high standard and he was a pleasure to have in our home. The cost was extremely reasonable especially considering that we were quite desperate. Thank you does not even come close to how grateful we are to him.

Colin did a great job on plastering a section of our bedroom where a fitted wardrobe had been removed and had damaged the wall. It was a small job but he approached it with the same care and attention as a larger project. He did a great job and responded very quickly to our request for help. 

TL 05 18

Colin re-plastered our kitchen ceiling. Not only did he do exactly what he said he would at every stage of my dealings with him but he did it to a high standard.

NC 05 18

Colin Latham has recently completed some plastering work in my bungalow. He was very reliable, arriving to quote at the agreed time and arriving on the morning at the right time. He worked solidly throughout the day and left the bungalow clean and tidy, washing down all surplus plaster on doors, walls etc and vacuuming the carpets. Roland was working with him - a very polite young man. A job well done, Thank you Colin and Roland.

IP 03 18

Colin plastered a long crack near a window in my bedroom wall. It was a small job for him but he fitted in with my timescale before decoration could take place. He was very efficient, reasonably priced, professional and conducted himself in a friendly manner. I would not hesitate to recommend him or call on him again.

MW 11 17

Colin was able to provide a very competitive quote and come out to plaster very quickly, within our time frames.

Colin and Danny, a Father and Son business were brilliant. They were prompt, clean, trustworthy, efficient and professional. I will definitely be using them in the future and will recommend them to friends and family.

AW 03 16

I can't recommend Colin and Danny enough. They managed to fit my job in as we'd been let down by some unreliable plasterers. Their work was perfect with no corners cut, and very tidy, and most of all they didn't hang about, very fast at what they do. Their prices are very fair. I'll be booking them again next year and will recommend them to anyone.

MR 12 15

Colin Latham and son have just carried out plastering two rooms in our house and I would like to express our thanks for the fine work carried out, and the friendly manner in which they did it. I would recommend this team to any one needing work done.
