City Crafts recently carried out a new install of cornice to our Entrance Hall. They were great to deal with from start to finish. Turned up when they said they would and the standard of workmanship is superb!. We were so pleased with the finished result we are now having them back to install throughout the rest of the house. I would highly recommend them.

City Crafts were great! We had our ceiling replaced in January after a water leak. They completed the job in 1.5 days, and were very friendly and professional. Lisa the decorator then came out and completed the room in less than a day-very quick and neat! Thank you so much!

I have used city crafts twice now. Once to replicate and repair some complicated cornicing and more recently to install some off the shelf cornice from their catalogue in my hall. They helped me out with providing some samples and then also helped me out by getting an install date to help me work around my other tradesmen. I would not hesitate to recomend them.

CIty Craft Plasterers came to assess, gave a timely estimate, took measurements, returned to do the cornice task and all was done pleasantly, politely and efficiently. I'd recommend them.

Id like to pass on my thanks to all of the City Craft team. The whole team have done a really fantastic job with the plastering, panel mouldings and installation of a new ceiling rose. Im so pleased with it. They worked so hard on this, arriving on time each morning, keeping the place as clean as they could, friendly, reliable... and the finish they achieved is brilliant and is a credit to them and the company. Would certainly recommend to other people.
