Hi all...

Wanted some help and advice. The builder has recently plastered (bonding coat + multifinish) the new extension and since then it has dried somewhat. But what I've noticed is the plaster is showing where the metal sheathing has been put in by the sparky. Why is this? And what can be done to remedy this? or is this normal?
The plaster is still smooth to touch just like the rest of the wall
I have attached a few pics so any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks

Looks like its still drying out, did your extension have a cavity wall and insulation before as one of the walls he's bonded is an external wall,
 
Thanks for the reply....Both walls are cavity filled with insulation and he bonded and skimmed the whole wall
Ok well looks like its still drying out should be ok i just dont understand why your builder has float and set with bonding coat on your walls,would of been easier to just dot and dab it

You don’t live in Scotland by any chance?

Looks as though the builder has had a shot at that and made a right balls of it.

It's so bad I'm struggling to see if the chases and conduit went in before or after it was skimmed

Unfortunately, you've been caspered. Your luck is in though because it's been caught before anything else is done.

Insist that it's reskimmed by a professional plasterer.
