I am very happy with the work carried out from the Aberdeen branch by Davie and Kostas. I was given the date of commencing the work, and estimate of time it would take. Very accurate. I am very happy with the quality of the work, and they cleaned up after also.

Kevin L and Jason U carried out work on our property on Thursday 6th October and from start to finish they did a first class job. They were friendly, professional and tidy throughout the whole process and we would not hesitate to use this company again. Highly recommended in all aspects. Thank you again.

Hi. Five stars from me. Came exactly on time and delivered first-class advice-which meant them not getting any business! Very refreshing and honest approach and restores faith and tradesmen!

Unfortunately, not the best experience from the R & S Glasgow office. Work commenced on the 6th July to remedy rising damp in a large area of my property. Communication was extremely poor, unless prompted by email/numerous phone calls. Areas of plasterwork had to be redone following inspection, due to poor standard and the removal of and covering of an air vent . Calls had to be made to remove debris from property following works. Entire property covered in dust, which is still an ongoing issue. It's now mid September and still awaiting works to commence on 2 areas that were missed from the original schedule of works in July, despite having paid 95% of invoice, these works still remain outstanding. These are in areas that have been freshly decorated, new flooring laid and furniture reinstated. Not quite sure the company quite appreciates the disruption this type of work entails as the dust infiltrates the entire property. To have this go on for so long has been exasperating and extremely stressful. Very poor show.

Our work was carried out by Craig, who well merits a 5 star rating. From a first contact phone call through to completion everything was good . We will use them if we have another problem, and we have no hesitation in recommending them.

An excellent job from start to finish. Great service from Melvin work started promptly on the agreed date. The technicians were polite and worked really hard to make sure that the job was carried out very efficiently thanks particularly to the efforts of Stewart Michael and Lewis. Site was tidied up and left clean every night. Finally the plasterer who really put the finishing touch to the work. All coordinated by Daren and involved three different contractors. Thank you all a really good job. Price , quite high but was of high quality and hassle free, worth it absolutely. Thanks all who were involved.

Major issues with wet rot, Richardson and Starling were great from start to finish. The joiners Richard and Malkie were fantastic, very professional, polite and accommodating. I had other tradesmen coming in for other works and they worked around them to make things easier, I am so grateful for their time and patience during a difficult time. Excellent job done and would highly recommend.

Phoned the Kirkcaldy branch with an urgent survey request. The staff were incredibly helpful and arranged a survey very quickly. Jack came out to do the survey and was really helpful and informative. We ended up not getting the work done at this stage as we needed to wait but would highly recommend this company.

I had my bathroom floor replaced by Stevie James from Richardson and Starling today 17th August 2022, this staff member was extremely professional, explained exactly what he was doing and why, very polite and pleasant manner, probably one of the nicest workers I have ever dealt with, I have a disabled daughter and he took on board keeping the job as un-intrusive with minimal disturbance as my daughter is Autistic. Mr James got on with the job and done a very good job of recovering a very old floor in order for a council bathroom refit due tomorrow. I was very impressed with the level of professionalism, kindness and tidiness of the job undertaken. Mr James went above and beyond by removing some bath tidy items that appeared to be stuck to the tiling by locating where they were screwed on and removing them for me, he also left absolutely no mess whatsoever on completion of his work. I am rating Stevie James a 5 star rating due to all of the above as I am 100% satisfied with the work carried out to a very high standard. I would highly recommend Richardson and Starling to anyone looking for complete professionalism.
