If I did I would have done a far better job. I'd have used 2 coats for starters!

A builder I know who also does plastering (wasn't available for this job due to it being too far) said same thing. He says a good plasterer will always do a neat finish at the ceiling, regardless if you're having coving or not. Comes down to pride in their work at the end of the day. He would...

Half that. Labour only. I supplied the materials.

Take a guess. 2 rooms, 4x3m each including ceilings. What would you expect?

Ideally I'd not like him to return as he's clearly incompetent however I can't just withhold money without first giving the main guy (the original guy I spoke to that didn't do the work) the chance to rectify the mess. I've just spoke to the main guy and thankfully he agrees with me, the work...

It's not great but lets look at what my options are going forwards... 1. Give him the opportunity to fix his work 2. Get a quote from another plasterer to make good and deduct whatever new plasterer is charging and pay him what's left 3. Anything else? You've said you won't pay him a penny but...

Honestly mate at this point I'm willing to accept that as acceptable. As stated above it's not the best but didn't think it was the worst either. I am having coving hence why the ceiling edges aren't neat. I know that a good plasterer would have probably plastered to the edges regardless but...

Interested to hear your feedback on the 'good' bits. These bits are fairly smooth, although some parts will need sanding down before decorating but I am more or less happy with this.

I really wish it was. I haven't paid him yet but sorting it with the original guy. He's 'reviewing' the pics with the guy who actually did the work so waiting to see what he comes back. Bear in mind I've posted only the bad bits, the rest of the walls are decent so he's definitely rushed this...

Also the reason he left the bits next to the door frames unskimmed is because he said they are very difficult to skim plus they will be covered by architraves... Based on my architraves being 75mm, as indicated here, you can see I'll still be left with the wall on show.
