Just had a phone call saying she will pay half the bill tomorrow. So I said no as you are not happy with the cove I will take the money off the invoice for that and you pay the remainder, then once the cove is to your satisfaction then pay for that. She said no I'm not doing that,

I can cove, it just makes more sense if I have a lot on to get him in to put it up and I can move on to the next job.

Quoted for a job this December just gone, Woman had her artex ceilings re-skimmed (By a local plasterer) and wasn't happy as they were all cracking. She wanted the ceilings overboarded and skimmed, I suggested as there were quite a few cracks running through and some into the cove that she...

hmmm, i was on a job over the summer where the spreads was plonking on hardwall over old siraphite walls that had been pva'd, devil them up and skim the next day. doubt it stayed on the walls to be honest i think they were doing it so they could book in float and set money?
