We were really impressed with Gavin's work - we've had a complete transformation of the house. We've had half the house re-plastered and repainted to a very high standard, as well as internal door replacement and dado rails. Gavin was very invested in achieving a very high quality finish - you can really see the effort that he's put in. The skirting boards look brand new. As well as achieving excellent quality work, he's also very good at communicating and giving advice. First time getting him to do some work, but certainly won't be the last.
Gavin did a beautiful job of plastering two of our bedrooms. The finish was fantastic; he was incredibly tidy; and was just great to work with. Had we known he also project managed work, we'd have also asked him to do the skirting etc. Next time though, as this won't be the last time we ask him to do some work in our home.
Initially, I was looking for a plasterer but Gavin basically renovated our entire house: he stripped out all the old fittings, wardrobes, mismatched skirting, coving and flooring; arranged for an excellent electrician to rewire everything; plastered and plasterboarded the entire house; made the new window fittings good, including making new window sills; fixed the joists in the floor; made high quality cupboards and shelves; tiled the bathroom; painted every room; sanded all the doors and repainted them (even though this was a very time consuming and annoying task!) Incredibly high quality plastering: smooth and beautiful finish. Went above and beyond to make our house not just liveable but beautiful. Highly recommended.
Gavin redecorated our hall, stairs & landing for us. As soon as we discussed the work with him we knew that he was the man for the job as there was quite a lot of repair work needed to the walls and doors. This confidence was confirmed when he brought all the gear in to do the work including a very effective extraction device which meant there was very little dust despite the amount of sanding that was needed. Gavin discovered and filled holes in our walls we hadn't even noticed and did great work in renovating our very tatty doors. Throughout the job he gave us great advice and any minor issues that arose were dealt with thoughtfully and professionally. As well as being a highly skilled craftsman he is very friendly and has a good sense of humour. Understandably he is usually very busy so it is worth planning ahead - well worth the wait though if you want a perfect job doing! We will be asking Gavin to do the rest of our decorating as it is needed from now on.
Gavin and Lee did a brilliant job skimming, second fix joinery and redecorating our bedroom. Excellent price, worked hard to meet our requests, and acted professionally at all times. Our finished room looks great and we would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for these services. We have rebooked McHandy to do our stairs, hall and landing for later in the year following this work. Thanks again.
