Hi Tony

I would say that the plasterer used ordinary screws instead of drywall screws. What you can now see is the screws that have rusted over time. In an ideal world you would remove each screw and replace it with a drywall screw and fill in holes along the way but this causes mess. What you could try is a stain sealing paint instead. This should stop the rust bleeding through the paintwork.

Thanks for your enquiry

Martin

I had a wooden ceiling in my lounge plastered a year ago. The plasterer used insulated plasterboard screwed into the wooden joists, followed by skimming to provide a flat finish. I year on and I can see the screws positions as dark patches on the surface of the plaster. Do you know what is happening and how to cure it?

Martin worked in our new house for a week. There were two main factors that were important to us when selecting a plasterer: Workmanship and reliability. Martin is a first class, skilled plasterer who was on the job early every day. I had no hesitation in giving Martin a key so that he could ‘get on with it’ and he did. His care and attention to our new house is the first major step in making it our new home. We would highly recommend him. Thanks… Oliver and Emma, Knutsford.

Having experienced the work of several plasterers over the past 4 years the only one that we are happy to recommend is Martin. We are delighted with the work that he has performed for us. As many other people have said prompt, reliable, professional and very tidy. We will be contacting him again.

I would like to add to the many positive comments left on the testimonial pages. Martin was always prompt and arrived when he said he would, great communications and a really nice chap. The work was completed to a very high standard and great care taken to protect carpets, flooring, furniture etc. The price was very competitive and I have since passed on details to a neighbour and friend. Martin even let my wife have a go, don’t think she will change her career though.

Many thanks Martin

I phoned three plasterers to estimate for an insurance claim. Martin was the only one to respond and keep the appointment made; the other two made appointments but did not bother to turn up.
He has done a good job, at the appointed time and made no mess. Also, he was happy to alter the job spec. at my request and the final cost was adjusted accordingly without any fuss. I would certainly call him again for further work

Martin has recently replaced worktops, sink and taps in my kitchen.

As usual a very professional job at the right price.

Thanks again Martin
