No worries, if you saw the room in question then you would be slapping the hassle factor on the price of the job, I know I would if I was a plasterer. Lozzer.

Hi, yes I understand that but I can't skim and would have to get a plaster in to do it, it would be no fun for the plasterer because with all my stuff in there space is really tight. that's just the way it is hence I want to have a go at joint filling and sanding etc. Lozzer

Can't afford it at the moment plus the room in question is full of my junk with know where else to store it at present. Lozzer.

Thanks for that. Lozzer.

Thanks raggles. Lozzer.

Anymore constructive replies? johniosaf's method sounds about right, can anyone else verify? Lozzer.

Ok but what mix etc, sand, cement, lime? PVA? SRB? EML? these are the things the guy in question needs to know so that he will at least have an idea as to what's what when he gets another plasterer in to do the job. johniosaif is the only one so far that has given advice as regards to method...

Apparently so although I have not seen it in the flesh so to speak. Lozzer.
