    "I recently had McLay Plastering work on some ceilings in my home, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the team was professional, punctual, and highly skilled. Darrin took the time to explain the entire process to me, ensuring I knew what to expect at each stage. The craftsmanship was top-notch. Darrin and Jackson were also very tidy, cleaning up thoroughly after each day of work. Overall, McLay Plastering provided an excellent service, and I highly recommend them… for any plastering needs."

    "We highly recommend McLay Plastering (Darrin and Jackson). Their experience and expertise came to the fore when a simple job turned into a more complex one. Darrin explained each part of the process in layman terms and we were confident we had “the right man” for the job. No question Darrin is the Master Plasterer Extraodinaire!"

    "I engaged Darrin and Jackson because of their excellent rating from a large number of reviews on this website. I was not disappointed - the reviews are accurate. Easy to deal with and 100% professional all round. I was lucky with my timing in terms of their availability - rang on Sunday, quoted on Monday, and the job completed to the highest standard on Tuesday. Too easy!"

    "Darrin and Jackson are the best tradesmen we have had the pleasure of working with. Their eye to detail is amazing and plastering skills are truly exceptional. Darrin and Jackson put up all gib and did the plastering and sanding of our home. They are both extremely focused and diligent in getting the job done. Very good communication, reliable, a high standard of work and great value for money. They are also just lovely people to have in your home and we will miss having these two around,… especially my children ????"

    "Darrin is the best tradesman we've ever had in our home. He was a delight to deal with and his communication and workmanship were second to none. He spent an arduous two weeks stripping wallpaper and plastering along with other bits and bobs along the way. It's so great to find a tradie you can trust to leave in your house to just get fhe job done. Highly recommend Darrin and will be spreading the word. Hire him. He's a top bloke. "

    "Darrin did an awesome job on our spare bedroom!
    I came across Darrin via No Cowboys and chose him because of the number of great reviews he had and people were not wrong! Darrin is great and is also a really friendly guy.

    He quickly came around to inspect the job, completed the job in a timely manner, but to a high standard, and left the bedroom in a very tidy state.

    We will definitely be using him again!
    Thanks again Darrin."

He is skilled and will respond and do small urgent jobs at short notice, which we really appreciated after needing an insurance job done quickly. Highly recommended, will definitely be using him again! "

    "I had the wonderful pleasure of having Darrin and his son Jackson take on a thankless task of repairing my flood affected home this month and what a task it was. I have used many plasterers over my time but never have I had someone so accommondating, repectful, attention to detail, excellent at his job and just outright a wonderful kind nature man. They just got on and did the job even if it meant having to redo some of our amature attempts to be gib fixers in some areas and not a mention, they… just did it. I am using them for my new project a full house renovation and I am that person - painfully fussy so I absolutely recommend. My home looks better than new so there are silver linings to some situations."

    "Wonderful, friendly team. An absolute pleasure to have them working here all week. Super reliable, outstanding communication. We're all painted now and looks mint. Our painters pointed out a couple of small areas they wanted addressed and Darrin was here within a couple of hours and sorted it immediately. I was blown away with his responsiveness (and I believe this was all in between bucketing out his flooded basement from the Auckland floods)!! Highly recommended."

I am very pleased with the work and Darrin went out of his way to help work around some challenges with the job. McLay Plastering had the best quote, clear communication, work was done on time as quoted and the result is a professional quality finish. I cannot recommend McLay Plastering highly enough.

    I'm really pleased with the workmanship, the walls are smooth and will look fantastic when painted.

    Darrin provided great advice, communicated well, arrived when he said he would and his experience… showed as he works with the materials.

    I wouldn't hesitate to bring Darrin back when we do our next round of home repairs.    "

    "Darrin helped us out at very short notice when another plasterer pulled out. This was really appreciated as our painter had already started work. In less than 2 days of work the job was completed efficiently and to a high standard. Nothing was too much trouble. Darrin proved to be a careful, experienced and tidy craftsman, and was pleasant to have in the house. We would definitely call him first next time and recommend him to other people.. "

We got in contact with him recently to repair our ceiling after installing a large number of new lights, and we couldn't be happier with the result. Darrin arrived exactly when he said he would, was friendly and conscientious, and has completed a first rate job. He also left everything spotless. We have already booked in our next job with him. What's more, our painter has booked him in as well, which speaks volumes about… how good his work is. Darrin will be the only plasterer we call from now on."

    "Darrin plastered and coved some ceilings in a newly renovated Villa. His quote was clear, he arrived when he said he would, communicated well throughout the work, needed no supervison, and completed the work promptly. His workmanship was excellent and the painter that followed him agreed! There was minimal mess and collateral damage- a rare commodity for a plasterer IMHO.
    Darrin is a friendly easy going chap - I will certainly use his skills in the future.

    "Darrin was engaged to carry out repair work to 2 damaged walls and ceilings and to prepare all interior walls and ceilings prior to painting and skim more than half of them including lounge/dining room, family room, main bedroom and a number of other key walls.
    To say that he did an outstanding job would be an understatement - he turned 27 year old well worn walls and ceilings into as new condition providing a great base for painting. Before Darrin started the job I didn't know what skimming… entailed, and found quickly that to do a really good job is a skill and takes a great deal of practise both of which Darrin posses in spades!

    At all times Darrin was friendly and cheerful and a hard worker.

    Well recommended.    "

    "Darren recently completed an extremely tricky plastering job that no one else wanted to go near - and did a brilliant job. He was friendly, arrived when he said he would and flexible in our somewhat chaotic building site. He even came out on a Sunday to fit our job in urgently. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Darrin, and to top it all off he was very reasonably priced."

    "Darrin did a fantastic job plastering the ceilings throughout our home! He responded promptly to our request for an initial quote. This came in very reasonably and he worked around our schedule and slotted us in sooner than we had expected. He was extremely easy to deal with, worked flexibly around our household of 3 children and cats and was very tidy. As a bonus, he was a really nice guy to have around! We are extremely pleased with the great job he did and it's good to know we now have… an excellent plasterer at hand who we will be definitely using in the future and who we can highly recommend to others. Thanks again Darrin!"

We've never met a tradesman so keen & willing to work. He has been working away in hot humid & stuffy 28 degrees conditions most days and never loses his great sense of humour!! We would recommend Darrin to anybody without hesitation if they are wanting a really good, professional plastering job! It was pleasure to meet Darrin and we… were thrilled to see his finished work. This guy is really good with communication too - and he worked out & gave us a quote the same night that he looked at the place. This guy is really switched on!! Cheers to Darrin!!"

He turned up on time, was ultra friendly, gave a very acceptable quote and was onto the job in no time. I left him there with my cat while I was at work and I returned home to find he had cleaned up after himself and the cat was still indoors. (I had given him instructions to keep the front door closed so he… couldn't escape onto the road). He did a fantastic job and I would highly recommend him. He seems passionate about what he does and it's obvious he takes great pride in his work. Highly recommended!!"

Due to the walls not being primed initally Darrin said that it could possibly flake. A small section did and Darrin attended to this fast (sunday morning) to fix it at no charge. I would highly reccommend Darrin and will be using him again for future.

He was very patient as I wondered around inside looking for other patches I'd missed and he actually examined defective areas and explained their condition and what should be done.
    I'd happily recommend Darrin and will certainly call him for any future plastering work.

    I fully expect to be calling Darrin in the future for further work and really recommend his services."

    "Darrin just completed plastering work at our house. We are painting the interior and there were numerous patchy walls that required a smooth finish. We were very impressed with the quality of his work and his friendly, professional and tidy manner. Also, we found his rates to be very reasonable. Highly recommended."

    "Simply brilliant! I can\'t reccomend Darrin highly enough...

    I handed Darrin what I thought was a hospital pass after pulling an old kitchen out and asking him to turn a wall (and ceiling complete with damaged coving) that was a complete dogs breakfast, warped, cracked and full of holes from removed tiles, electrical switches and a range hood, into a wall again...

    After a couple of hours Darrin handed me back a wall that I didn\'t think possible looking at what he started with. The finish… is so well done that it doesn\'t need to be touched with sandpaper before painting!

    If you want great plastering work done then Darrin is the man to do it! I know I\'ll certainly be calling him again...    "

    "Darrin was amazing !! Saw his van parked up the street & he came a talked to me & my husband whilst a coat was drying. We had a smallish job which I then turned into a large job. Darrin worked around our other tradespeople, was flexible & 100% reliable, wonderful to work with & we were delighted with the the finished job.He was extremely clean & tidy & left me nothing to do at the end of his plastering day (haha).Darrin told me the finish would be flawless & it is !!… We have an old house with not very straight walls & even with my housewife painting they look fantastic, because the preperation was top class !! Thanks Darrin for turning my old home into a modern family home that I enjoy have people around to. Thanks also for helping out when you knew my daughter was coming back from overseas & you fitted me in so it would be finished...I appreciate all your work every single day & I would recommend you to anyone. Kind regards Alyson :)"

    "Darrin recently plastered our new bathroom and the finished job was completed to such a high standard we only needed to lightly sand one or two patches. We were so impressed we got him to do replaster our hallway too. Darrin was a pleasure to deal with from beginning to end. He did everything he could to accommodate our timeframe as we needed the job completed before moving back in with our young children. I will certainly be using Darrin again and recommending him to family and friends."

    "I have used McLay plastering 3 times in the last 3 years for small and large jobs in the house - their communication is excellent, work immaculate and paint ready, fully quoted and accurate and they never leave a mess! Contrary to some shockers I have had in the past I would use them for any future jobs I have and Darren is also a very pleasant workman who gets on with the job instead of pointing out the obvious idiots who have worked there before which is a breath of fresh air "

    "Darrin was the first person we hired to do work on our house and we are glad we did hire him as he definately left us with some positive feelings for the beginning of our home renovation journey.

    He kept in touch and had good communication with us and kept to all the things that he said and we said would be done. Above all, his work was excellent.

    Will be calling on Darrin next time for any further plastering work that we need.

    Cheers Darrin"

    Hes polite, extremely business like and will always talk to you properly about the job, whats needed and also how best to do it - in a timeframe
    Ive also found him extremely honest - if something doesnt need doing or cant be done, he tells it like it is - theres no way hes there to rip you off or drag the job out longer than he needs to.
    In a profession which is often seen for cowboys, Darrin is a refreshing… change and honest hard worker and I wouldnt hesitate to recommend him to all    "

    "We've used McLay Plastering for repairs and renovations at three family houses over a number of years - most recently to repair a solid plaster ceiling and curved wall in the lounge.

    Darrin's work in gibbing and solid plastering is always of a very high standard, he's excellent at explaining what will and won't work, is reliable, and is a friendly bloke to have about the place while he works.

    Other tradesmen, especially the painters, have commented on the high qualify of Darrin's work.… We've recommended McLay Plastering to friends and neighbours over the years and they've always been very pleased with the work."
