Yep, the new plasterer is doing a wonderful job, and he’s a really nice guy too

Oh my god, I could have screamed.... in pure relief! Despite the general consensus from this thread being that I shouldn’t accept the work completed so far, I was still very nervous about how yesterday would turn out. But to my relief they sent a respectable plasterer this time and it was an...

One extra question, if an area has been boarded that could be done with one board but they’ve used three separate off cuts instead, is this normal practice to maximise material usage or is it cutting corners and just increasing the risk of cracks in the plaster at a later date?

Thanks everyone. Someone turned up today to deliver some more insulated plasterboard but wasn’t able to review the issues with me as he wasn’t a plasterer. The company director has instructed the project manager to remove all ‘effected’ boards but now we need to agree which ones these are. I’ll...

How is this in any way relevant to my seeking advice about whether the quality of work is acceptable? Seems to me like you’re just trolling.

I want to give them one more chance to agree to rectify their work based on the advice I've received here before I name and shame them, but if they don't I'll gladly invite them onto the discussion. Why 7/8pm on Friday?

That's what I thought Stuart, but the pressure I'm getting from the company responsible for it to accept it is an uncomfortable situation to say the least, so having some people confirm I'm not completely mental will help me fight back :)

Hello I’m having some work done to fit insulated plasterboard and plaster on the ceiling of a room at my home. I was hoping some people with more experience than me would be able to advise if the quality of work done so far is deemed to be acceptable. I’m not a professional plasterer, and I...
