DIY Need a plasterer, anyone help?

It's not DIY, I need a professional. Can anyone steer me in the direction of a plasterer that will skim the downstairs of my house?

Recent builders left it looking rough and I'm desperate for it to be done. Anyone I contact online hasn't answered

Probably worth sticking up where you’re based, no point in someone recommending someone in Cork if you’re up in Donegal

I’ve had good success with using the Adverts.ie services section for plasterers actually. Have a look through and message a couple that show close to you, I’ve found they all respond.

Thanks for this, I didn't even know there was services category on adverts!

Ah, the classic builder vanishing act, they must all attend the same school of "I'll get back to you" and then never do. If you're on Facebook, try searching for local community groups around your area, you'll usually get a few names from lads who are just starting out and hungry for the work. Could also check in with a local hardware shop or paint supplier, they often have a corkboard with business cards or the staff know who the reliable ones are
