    Sub-par Plastering?

    Been meaning to post this since before Christmas but just been putting it all off because I think I know what the answer is. Had these cracks appear about 2 months after the job, the large crack in the first picture (IMG_1451) when tapping, the plaster feels hollow the rest just look horrific...

    This was my line of thinking not gonna lie. I won't go into the decorator and what he said, but I've learnt to not use family recommendations but now am £2500 out and have a s**t finish on the majority of the house. Just some decorating pics below. God it makes me angry. Gonna try and fix some...

    It's their day-to-day living so lord knows about other people...

    Honestly, learnt my lesson with using people I 'know' so to speak, even with a word-of-mouth recommendation. The chippies I used were great to deal with when there were some issues. I can be a bit of a perfectionist but I'm going to have to try and just not look at those walls on a day-to-day...

    Ended up getting them back out and they literally just sanded (with no dust bag) and left the place a state with my lungs taking most of it. Decorator has been around and it's honestly not the best, decorator didn't do much prep either which has left a pretty crap finish on a lot of it...

    But they feel smooth which is the odd thing. Like it doesn't feel like they are cracks

    On a side note, one of the walls upstairs has these lines. They're not cracks as it's smooth, but anything to be concerned about?

    Yeah I'm gonna call him back again. He got defensive when I called him back round and that was when the filler was brought out...

    And somehow even with the floor coverings there are dried globs all over the carpet... That's going to be fun to try and get out

    Really? From what I saw outside of the PVA it was 4 boards and 5 bags of British Gypsum Thistle MultiFinish. It was just a skim coat, not all new boards and back to brick. Also, the other quotes I got initially around the same price, only marginally more.

    Because I knew him through someone and thought if he was bringing someone else on the job it would be someone from that company to be honest.

    Sub-par Plastering?

    It was £1300 total. Going to cost me more with the decorator though even just with the skirting
