    If you have seen his work or a good friend as recommended him, I think you should go with it.

    This bloke has been recommended.

    The height of the room is approx 11` and I live in the West Midlands.

    There is another bloke coming around tomorrow,he`s done work for me in the past but his finishing isnt perfect.

    Thanks to all those that responded:beer:
