Hi, I appreciate this is covered in different ways in other posts but I want to make sure I'm being fair to the plasterer who carried out the work before I contact them about this.
I live in a south east London flat and recently paid £1020 for a small firm to skim two small bedrooms and the landing. I think this was around 35m2. We wanted the ceilings skimmed to cover the textured artex layer. From what I could tell they used PVA as a bonding and re screwed along the joints to try and fix the boards.
Right after the work was finished I went away for a week and when I returned the ceilings have formed long cracks which run almost the length of the rooms, across the direction of the ceiling joists and so I imagine in line with the old plasterboards.
Is this something that is fairly typical or is it a sign that the area was not prepared properly or work carried out not as well as it could have been?
Thanks for for all contributions
