🔨 DEPOSITS – THERE’S TWO SIDES TO IT

There’s been a lot of talk recently online about new Government measures to crack down on “cowboy builders” and protect customers — and rightly so. Nobody wants to hand over their hard-earned money to someone who disappears or doesn’t do the job properly.

But I think there’s another side that sometimes gets forgotten.

Good, genuine tradespeople need protecting too.

When we take on a larger job, we’re committing our time, booking space in the diary, ordering materials, arranging labour and sometimes turning other work away.

That’s why, once a job is over a certain value, I believe asking for a reasonable deposit is completely fair.

A deposit isn’t about taking a customer’s money and hoping for the best. It’s about commitment from both sides.

The customer should have confidence that their tradesperson is going to turn up, do what’s been agreed and complete the work properly.

But equally, the tradesperson needs some confidence that the customer is committed to the job and isn’t going to cancel at the last minute after materials have been ordered, weeks that have been reserved or even worse knock them for the money right at the end. Which actually does happen.

Protect the customer. Protect genuine tradespeople. Keep everything transparent.

That’s how it should be. 🤝🔨

Restoring Character, Preserving the Original Features 📷 ✅

Progress is well underway on our second ongoing commercial project, and it’s great to see this property starting to come back to life.

One of the main aims throughout this project is to retain and restore as many of the building’s original features as possible, helping preserve the character, history and craftsmanship that make the property unique.

The ceilings required extensive preparation, with years of cracked, peeling and failing finishes carefully removed before repairs and refinishing could begin. At the same time, we’ve taken great care to protect and preserve the beautiful original decorative cornices and period detailing throughout. Repairs on this will be done throughout the project.

Keep your eyes pealed for the finish product!

Running Nealons Plastering Services LTD properly doesn’t mean you won’t collect a few grey hairs along the way. Judging by the photo, business must be booming.

Being ex-forces, we decided from day one:

If we’re going to do it, we’re going to do it properly.
But that doesn’t mean we’re going to do it all ourselves.

You quickly learn in business that trying to be the plasterer, estimator, salesman, accountant, recruiter, social media manager, problem solver and professional tea drinker all at once is a cracking way to age yourself 15 years before lunch.

We know what we’re good at.
We build a strong team.
We bring in good people where we need them.
And we make sure the standards stay where they should be.

The military taught us discipline, teamwork and getting the job done properly.

Business taught us that delegation is cheaper than a hair transplant.

Still learning. Still growing. Still plastering

Office workers: “It’s far too hot to work today!” 🥵
Me: “Hold my trowel…”

This is my office today 20 foot in the air — no air con, no desk fan, no comfy chair… just a hot stair case to board and plaster with questionable footwear choices!

Wouldn’t change it though. 💪🏼

Here’s a sneak peek into one of our ongoing commercial projects 👀📷

How often do you see photos of a plasterer’s work once it’s completely dry?

Most photos are taken while the plaster is still wet, but the real test of the workmanship comes once it’s dried.

For us, it’s all about the finish:

✔️ Flat
✔️ Smooth
✔️ Consistent colour
✔️ Sharp, crisp angles

That’s what we love to see. A quality finish that speaks for itself.

We hope everyone enjoyed the weekend Sun. BBQ’s, B**r Gardens, Beach? Not for us unfortunately. The team were braving the heat at a property in Yarm. The forecast said 30 degrees but in there it felt much hotter inside this property.

The team were on task with repairing the kitchen ceiling after 5 Velux windows were installed by Wilson Roofing Contractors and the job couldn’t have went any better given the circumstances, leaving happy customers with a professional tidy job. To any one in the trade working in this weather over the weekend, hats off to you. I know your pain.

Prices may vary amongst many Plasterers. Everyone has their own reasons for this.

But when people look for cheap, cheap is what you will find unfortunately. So don’t be disappointed if someone turns up at your door who doesn’t know what he’s doing.

A quality tradesman is worth their weight in gold who can provide a quality service for there client.

The team were called in to rectify a previous plasterer’s work what we can only call a blood bath on a media wall in Norton. After reassuring the customer that not every tradesperson is like this and allowing them to put their trust in us to put this right we delivered the service that they expected.

Piece by piece we put this back together and give the home owner the media wall that they deserve.
