I never blamed the plasterer... i paid the guy same day and said "s**t happens lets figure it out" and left it at that...

Its all good, i give s**t so expect it back lol. Think ive manage to sift through the sassyness and take something useful away from it all so am working through it now. Have been putting noggins in from above carefully, once done ill chuck the insulation back up and will fill and sand the...

You been on the drink?

You're so cute when you are angry

Thanks!

haha I wish, nope all that is up there is loft space, cracks formed the moment the plaster dried

Evening, I fitted them at 90 degrees to the trusses (so 5 rows of screws in each full board)

Seems like this has gone massively off point, in my original post I hoped that I had made it clear that I don't care whether he is at fault or not, just wanted some advice/feedback on my method of resolving the issue and a few responders seem to get a tad defensive. If 600mm centres requires...

thanks guys, ill look into this

1) I boarded it 2) Yes I did stagger the joints 3) None of the above lol To give some background, I dont claim to be any kind of expert but I have boarded a large number of ceilings in the past and this is the first time I have had a problem - most have been 400mm centres (this is only the 2nd...

oh also the plaster I used doesn't do boarding.. go figure..

*sigh* of course a plasterer could never be at fault... plasterers are 100% perfect at all times - sorry if you thought that I suggested otherwise Anyway back on track, I'm not sure I ever asked for opinions on who's fault it was - I was asking for some advice as to how to move forward...

sorry, what do you mean by cross batten at 400? I have 600 centres and was going to retrospectively batten every join between them :)

its a bold statement to say its nothing to do with the plasterer when you dont know him or haven't seen the work (not saying it is but nobody can 100% say for sure). To answer your questions: - I got told I used too many screws (always have done) - boards were nice and tight - No gaps As...

He was very quick to dismiss that he could possibly be at fault. I have paid him in full as the walls were good that he did and for the sake of a few hundred quid I cant be doing with hassle when I can neither prove of disprove it was him. Undecided but I would probably use someone else in order...

only variable here is this is the first time I have used this plasterer to plaster ceilings where its a fresh board (previous work he did for me was over Artex). Not trying to blame the plasterer necessarily as he has been in the game a long time but looking for some guidance as to whether my...

I always stagger boards :) Have installed them many many times and this is the first time ive had a problem

Good evening, wondering if I could pick your collective brains please? :) I have recently purchased a house that needed a full renovation. The ceilings were artex and in a bad way (looks like the central heating guy had put his foot through a few of them when trying to fit the new system a...
