I cannot recommend Goldtrowel enough. I attended the 4 week plastering NVQ training from Mar-Apr this year. I received excellent tuition from Shane which gave me an invaluable introduction to plastering. I learnt alot more than I anticipated. I was given a portfolio to complete after the training and Doug supported me throughout. Credit to Andy aswell for running a great training facility. Not only will you learn so much, but you will honestly enjoy it too. For anyone not living close to Goldtrowel I would recommend staying at Maybrand Fisheries approx 1 mile from the training centre, it's basic but only £30 a night and it's all you need. I hope to return in the near future for the Venetian plastering course. My thanks go to Goldtrowel! More...

“Top drawer work from Shayne and his team. After contacting him, he arrived on time to provide a quote for the work. Dug me out of a hole with the wife too - as I omitted to include some minor electrical work. Shayne got on the case and managed to arrange for an electrician to do the work 1 day prior to the agreed redecoration work he would be carrying out. Both pieces of work carried out effortlessly, with superb results and leaving the room very clean and tidy. Always difficult trying to find reliable tradespeople when you move to a new area - certainly have with Shayne and will use again!” More...

We are really happy we used SDLPTB to redo our kitchen. Shayne was exceptionally professional from the quote stage all the way through to the end. He provided support throughout the build and always answered messages and was really helpful. His man Gary who he sent to Undertake the work was fantastic, his standard of work and commitment to the job 5 star! They created the kitchen of my dreams and I would absolutely recommend!! More...

Shayne and his team have just finished the job of completely renovating two bathrooms for us. We found the work to be of excellent quality, with a concern for detail, and completing it under a very tight timescale. His communication was good, with Shayne keeping us informed, and documenting his work with photos and videos, which he sent to us. We found him trustworthy, honest and he takes pride in doing a good job. We would highly recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a professional job at a reasonable price. More...

Shayne is an amiable young man with a great work ethic. His desire to succeed shines through in the demanding work targets he sets for himself. He is prepared to work longer than the usual tradesman's working hours in order to deliver. Shayne also strives to provide a quality product and is responsive to customer requirements.
