Our verdict

Our judgement: this suits a Telford homeowner who wants a reviewed sole trader for a small plastering job and will book by phone [1][2]. We rate the rating and the direct contact as strengths because both are evidenced. Before you book, ask how long it has traded under this name, what insurance is in place and get the price in writing.

Industry qualifications

Can't be sourced. We looked at the issuing registers, the business's own website and platforms such as Checkatrade and Which? Trusted Traders and found no scheme membership or registration to record.

Strengths

  • You get a high rating on a small base, at 4.9 from 12 Google reviews seen 3 September 2026, with site-published reviews describing fast call-outs and tidy finishes [1][2].

  • The site claims more than 20 years of experience and gives a phone number and an email address, so booking direct is simple [1].

Limitations

  • The site is a thin template with vague service wording, no prices, no hours and no insurance detail, so C5 sits in insufficient evidence and C7 scores 55 [1].

  • The 20-year experience claim is the business's own wording with no company record behind it, checked 3 September 2026 [1][3].
