To cut a long story short, I recenly finished skimming 5 lobbies to a block of flats near to me.
Whilst the lobbies were in no way exposed to the elements, they were an external addition to the flats and as such, had no heating / ventilation - ie,you walk into the lobby and then again through a door into the hallway of the block.
Just been to check them today as they are taking an age to dry because of the cold snap, only to find that 2 walls in one of the lobbies have totally blown and will need to be scraped off and skimmed again - All the others are fine thankfully
Do you think the frost could have got into the skim causing this to happen - I'm happy that I prepped all the walls correctly first PVA etc...
And do I need to take this on the chin and rectify free of charge or would you charge a nominal fee for something that was really out of your control ??
