Has the plasterer botched this job?

Ffs lads it ain't that bad :coffe:

 
I have had someone in to plaster/skim the walls in a few rooms. I have never done this before so I have no idea what I'm looking for in the work, however I am pretty disappointed at what I feel is a terrible finish. None of the walls are ready to paint on. Is this normal? Holes, bubbles, cracks, filler on the walls after plastering, seeing tape through them, corners and edges just smudged with filler. I had removed the sockets beforehand and most are covered over so far I have to cut back the plaster to be able to put the sockets back. This is fine, just annoying and extra work for me to do. I haven't yet paid him the second half of the payment and am reluctant too as I'm not happy with it, but not sure where I stand. Still waiting for official invoices to be sent to me and no luck with that either. Any feedback is appreciated!

truly shocking, do not pay him anything,
jess the plasterer lives local to you, get her round, but dont mention her sister/chess set/or the day a bird shat on her head,
You forgot that she also shats in empty bags of multi.
 
My spider senses began to tingle when I saw those pics……..hmmmm……..I’m not sure a proper spread did that work……..nope, not proper at all……..I vote Jess, but not on Monday, not after a weekend of spicy food….no sir…….
 
Well thank you everyone for tagging me whilst making me look like a lunatic! Worst wingmen ever! :rayos:

@AitchJ whilst I’d happily do the work I wouldn’t be able to get there until mid March unfortunately
You can sub it out to me if you want.

£200 a wall. That's £50 a wall for you for doing nowt.

Good deal yes?

I hope it Master Plaster!

See his van driving about. He’s been slagging me off apparently! Never met the bloke. He’s been telling people they shouldn’t hire me on account of me being a girl lol. He’s never seen my work. Well I’ve seen his and he needs to work on his feathering in! :ROFLMAO:
