Doing a flat so I can get it all , moving stuff around although it’s unoccupied

Always tricky when there's coving up though if they don't want to lose it.The artex bubbled and all had to be scraped off , the owner didn’t want a board over and scraped it off himself
Got a picture of this or a link? I always say only option is to rip the coving down and board whole ceilingJust board back from the cornice about 4” and use board edging beads looks good when finished gives a a more detailed look on the ceiling done loads like this
It’s obviously lathe and plasterAlways tricky when there's coving up though if they don't want to lose it.
And as above if that's lathe and plaster then you're a fool
He didn’t want any extras , the ceiling is bowed also , be a nightmare to board overJust board back from the cornice about 4” and use board edging beads looks good when finished gives a a more detailed look on the ceiling done loads like this
Well you say obviously. But no plasterer would skim over it so I had to question what I was seeing. What on earth are you thinking?It’s obviously lathe and plaster
Well you say obviously. But no plasterer would skim over it so I had to question what I was seeing. What on earth are you thinking?
Not being dramatic but you could seriously hurt someone when that comes down. Wipe out some kid to make a couple of hundred quid? Walk away
Done it many , many , many , many times lolWell you say obviously. But no plasterer would skim over it so I had to question what I was seeing. What on earth are you thinking?
Same , nothing wrong with pva and skim on ceilings,Done it many , many , many , many times lol
It's my customers choice , I charge for my time
And if it comes down on someone's head and kills them a few months after you've chucked an extra 50kg up there?Done it many , many , many , many times lol
It's my customers choice , I charge for my time
You just said it was bowed, that means it's not far off coming down. The amount of Skyrim you used shows there's weak points all over itSame , nothing wrong with pva and skim on ceilings,
Your very good at calling people idiots I've noticed lolAnd if it comes down on someone's head and kills them a few months after you've chucked an extra 50kg up there?
Idiots
I can't believe someone with so many years experience skims over lathe and plaster ceilings. The amount of lathe and plaster ceilings I've seen on someone's floor gives me plenty of ground to judgeYour very good at calling people idiots I've noticed lol
I have done so many ceilings like that so your inexperience gives you little ground to judge
I'm usually the first to offer advice on techniques of stabilising such a cieling but I think I'll pass this time
And FYI I do say no occasionally
Carry on mate your giving me the giggles lolI can't believe someone with so many years experience skims over lathe and plaster ceilings. The amount of lathe and plaster ceilings I've seen on someone's floor gives me plenty of ground to judge
Creep lolA ceiling being bowed can be for how many reasons apart from imminent fail
