It's not mate the whole inside of the house is like it, ceilings and all!

I have been there mate and had a look, I told them I'll get more to be safe I'm just getting baseline amounts, skim or bonding and skim, ect. I'm just throwing ideas around in my head. It's always good to have a little help and advise though, two heads and all that! As for the skiing,I don't...

That's exactly what it is like, about 1.5mm deep, it's been emulsioned a few times so it's not shiny any more, such a good key on it though I doubt the plaster would ever fail, not before the background anyway

Thanks for your advice Im going to over order the plaster, it's just second opinions of coverage if I were to go with skimming straight over it, so I can weigh up options and have what I think is the correct amount to then add extra too. There is a good key to plaster onto on the ceilings, and...

That is one of the options I was going with, I'm still thinking,I'm gonna work out final amounts ect this weekend and haven't decided yet how I'm gonna tackle it

There's is mate but it's properly expensive like 25 notes a bag and drys soft

Thanks mate, it's a 1 shot deal with the plaster due to the cost's to get it there. They don't mind if I over order the plaster but I would personally like to be accurate, obviously within reason.

Morning all, I'm looking for a little advice on estimating quantities As the title says... I've landed myself a big job in switzerland starting in a little over a month. I am shipping the multi finish over in a container (can't get it or anything like it over there and the customer wants it)...

Nice friendly forum this... Nice one

Lol I think you lot are being ripped off for your scaffolding! Your all jealous! lol thanks for all of your advice, it was more timescale than actual price I was after lol, I was just thinking out loud so to speak:) The scaffold company holds the liability when it comes to the safety...

Thanks for your response mate. I have had the price for the scaffolding already, he is cheap but I've used him before (platform for a large stairway ceiling £205+vat, had it for a month) sorry, I didn't realise not to discuss rates, do you think I have allowed for enough time for the job...

Cracking idea that, gonna try that tomorrow :)
