Been meaning to post this since before Christmas but just been putting it all off because I think I know what the answer is. Had these cracks appear about 2 months after the job, the large crack in the first picture (IMG_1451) when tapping, the plaster feels hollow the rest just look horrific...
This was my line of thinking not gonna lie. I won't go into the decorator and what he said, but I've learnt to not use family recommendations but now am £2500 out and have a s**t finish on the majority of the house.
Just some decorating pics below. God it makes me angry. Gonna try and fix some...
Honestly, learnt my lesson with using people I 'know' so to speak, even with a word-of-mouth recommendation. The chippies I used were great to deal with when there were some issues.
I can be a bit of a perfectionist but I'm going to have to try and just not look at those walls on a day-to-day...
Ended up getting them back out and they literally just sanded (with no dust bag) and left the place a state with my lungs taking most of it. Decorator has been around and it's honestly not the best, decorator didn't do much prep either which has left a pretty crap finish on a lot of it...
Really? From what I saw outside of the PVA it was 4 boards and 5 bags of British Gypsum Thistle MultiFinish. It was just a skim coat, not all new boards and back to brick. Also, the other quotes I got initially around the same price, only marginally more.
