Yes, thank you, I agree. I was willing to be very forgiving when I felt like his intentions were good but I won't stand for being threatened and pressured with nonsense. It's bordering on extortion, the worst of it is I'm sure it works on some people.

I haven't seen it yet, think I'll try and have a look tomorrow. Apparently he's smoothed out all the rough corners/filled the chips and cracks etc, but the ceilings look much the same (I'm not sure what he could do about those to be honest). He argued that because it was skimmed over artex, it...

Hi there - if anyone on this forum is available for some work in Salisbury, ideally to come in and do a quote ASAP. We have some definite work with a stairway and bathroom needing a skim (the bathroom ideally done end of August/early September, flexible on the stairway). We've also had some work...

Well! Bloody hell did that take a turn for the worse today. Plasterer called me this afternoon to say they'd managed to get in earlier than expected and fix the various problems. I said this was great news, and that we had a plasterer coming to look on Monday and we'd get that mist coat sorted...

Thanks again for all the input all, very much appreciated. We've had him back in today, I've gone through my problems with it and given him a week to fix it (I appreciate many of you think that's unlikely but I feel it's safest to follow the consumer law process etc). He didn't really fight me...

Thanks all. I've been back again today to check it all and there are a few problems on pretty much all the walls, although some are passable (or seem so, prior to the mist coat). The ceilings also have some minor crazing and all have patches of bumps, which I suspect will show up more with...

Thanks again @JessThePlasterer, I'll take your advice and discuss it with both of them.

Hah yes I've honestly no idea what happened there - there was some old chasing but surely it should have been filled in better? Only spot in the ceiling like it.

Thanks all I really appreciate your input! Well, I'm relieved that I'm not being overly demanding but am certainly increasingly concerned about the quality of the job. Not sure about next steps, he was recommended to me by my builder and wasn't any cheaper than the other quotes we got, we went...

Hi there! I was hoping to ask people with expertise as to whether I would be right to ask about getting some elements of a recent skim redone. I really don't want to be a nightmare client and wrongly accuse my plasterer of doing a bad job! For background - we've had most of our house skimmed...
