Everything on this page comes from Checkatrade, and none of it is written by us. Checkatrade verifies that the reviewer was a genuine customer on a genuine job before a review is published, which is a meaningfully higher bar than an open review platform where anybody can post. The profile currently stands at 10 out of 10 from 69 reviews, with quality of work, reliability and communication all scored separately and all sitting at the top mark.
Rather than pull out the flattering lines, the full text of each review below is reproduced exactly as the customer wrote it, spelling and all, along with Lee's public reply where he left one. The postcode district and the date are Checkatrade's own, and the profile is linked from this page so you can go and read every one of the sixty nine yourself rather than take a curated selection on trust.
The themes repeat, which is the useful part. Fair pricing quoted quickly, often within twenty four hours of the job being listed. Turning up on the day and at the time that was agreed. Keeping in touch between the quote and the work. Leaving the place clean. Those are not glamorous things to be known for, but they are the four things people actually complain about when they complain about tradesmen, and a five-year record of not doing them is worth more than any claim on a homepage.
The job locations on the profile span BB9, BB10, M24 and OL postcodes among others, which covers Nelson, Burnley, the Rossendale valley and beyond. That spread is worth noting: it is a working record across the whole area rather than a handful of jobs in one street.
Word for word
What Customers Wrote
Reproduced exactly as published on Checkatrade, including Lee's replies. Names and postcode districts are as Checkatrade shows them.
Keeping in touch. A fair price. Landed on time. Professional job done. Very cooperative.
Lee gave me a fair price after looking at my photo of the job. He kept in touch and arrived bang on time 2 days later. Very respectful and did a first class job. He also let me know what the job entailed. Tidied up afterwards as well. I would definitely use this company again.
Lee replied: Thanks Dave
Boarding and plastering the kitchen
Lee did a great job from start to finish and would definitely recommend, Lee came and quoted within 24hrs of listing the job and by Thursday Lee had finished the job.
Lee replied: Thanks Ben, glad you're happy with it
Skim over artex patterned living room ceiling and stairs
Excellent communication, competitive pricing and excellent work. Left the work area clean and tidy.
Lee replied: Thanks Mike, glad you're happy with it
Plastering of staircase
Lee is very reliable hardworking and more importantly excellent at his job. I will be in contact with him in the near future of another plastering job at my Dad's home. I would 100% recommend him and his workmanship to anyone, many thanks Lee.
Lee replied: Thanks Richard, glad you're happy with it
Water damaged ceiling at top of the stairs
Fantastic job done, clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend.
Lee replied: Thanks Chantelle

Common questions
About These Reviews
Where do these reviews come from?
Checkatrade. Every one is left by a verified customer against a real job, and the profile is public. Nothing on this page is written by us or by the client.
How many reviews does LD Plastering have?
69 at the time of writing, at 10 out of 10. Checkatrade scores quality of work, reliability and communication separately, and all three sit at the top mark.
Why Checkatrade rather than Google reviews?
Because it is the record that can be independently verified. Checkatrade confirms the reviewer was a real customer on a real job before the review is published, which is a meaningfully higher bar than an open review platform.
Are the reviews recent?
Yes, and they are continuous rather than clustered. Checkatrade also shows a rolling twelve-month score separately from the lifetime one, which is a better guide to how a business is performing now than a total accumulated over years.
What do reviewers mention most often?
Fair pricing, arriving when promised, keeping in touch between quote and job, doing a clean job, and tidying up afterwards. Several specifically mention being quoted within twenty four hours of getting in touch.
Are any of the reviews negative?
The profile currently runs at 10 out of 10 across all 69. Rather than take that on trust, the profile is linked from this page so you can read the lot yourself, including anything less than perfect.
Can I speak to a previous customer?
Ask at quote stage. Where a past customer nearby is happy to be contacted, Lee will put you in touch. Plenty of the work comes from neighbours seeing a job on their own street, which is much the same thing.
Which areas do the reviewed jobs come from?
The job locations on the Checkatrade profile span the BB9, BB10, M24 and OL postcodes among others, so the review history covers Nelson, Burnley, the Rossendale valley and beyond rather than one small pocket.
How do I leave a review after my job?
Through the Checkatrade profile, which sends a verification step to confirm the job was real. Honest feedback is genuinely welcome either way, since a profile of only perfect reviews is less useful to the next customer than a truthful one.
Does the Checkatrade membership come with any protection?
The profile carries a £1,000 Checkatrade guarantee with terms and conditions applying, alongside Checkatrade's own vetting of members. Ask about the specific terms at quote stage so you know exactly what it covers.
