Any Plasterers available in Southampton for immiediate start

[bennyhedgehog]

I know it is an extreme longshot, but I have just been let down by my plasterer. He agreed to dryline, plaster and screed my extension and be complete by next Friday. He's boarded the ceilings, most of the bulkhead steel encasements but left the plastering and screeding. He started not turning up last week (after a few days work), but told me only yesterday that he would be back next Tuesday for 4 days to do the plastering. Then I get an email this morning saying he is "committed on another job" and can't come back until later the week after, which is too late for me to finish before Christmas (despite the phone call yesterday!) Quite honestly I now don't trust him to turn up then anyway.

Sorry to rabbit on, but if there are any plasterers in the Southampton area who are free next week, I might have some work for you! I have all materials here.

Cheers.

Sorry, forgot to say, just post here and i'm sure we can get in touch.

I hope i'm not flouting any forum rules either - apologies if I am.

Try "Stevethespreader", he lives in Portsmouth.
I don't think you're flouting any rules at all, it's only when people flout the advertising rules that upsets the mod's,,,, quite right too ,
If Steve doesn't reply on here soon, i'll send him a text..

I've lived up here in Lossiemouth now for 45 years this year. I love it up here and would never move away, but i also love Hampshire, the place where i grew up and where i learnt to plaster. I'm still a Sassenach Alastair, but they've let me off.

Apologies for the late reply Gents, I was out last night.

Steve, that is great. Would you like to look at the works to provide a price? I'm sorry I don't know how to post messages (a newbie to this forum), but I have seen the rules on not posting contact details? Any suggestions on how to make contact would be appreciated.

Roughcaster, thanks for that. I too am a Winchester lad, Stanmore born and bred!
