I need to get a quote for a repair due to some water damage. I looks like some lath and plaster will need removing, some new stud work replacing, new plasterboard, skimming then painting. Not a huge area, about 6 feet by 10.

The first quote was eye watering.

Can anyone suggest some good tradesmen?

I got a recommendation off here a couple of months back, we used him and are very pleased with the results, but it wasn’t cheap.

Try Connor at CP Plastering 07779 244863 tell him Andy from K Rend gave you his number.

Did have the name of a decent plasterer but this was > 10 years ago I’m afraid.

Painter – we used Tom Thompson & son – out in Bonnyrigg – 0131 663 5916 – they weren’t that cheap but really good, quick, tidy and friendly. Father & son, both strapping 6′ 3″ guys, made short work of papering the stairwell..

Thanks guys, plenty to go with there.
