That's Saddleworth you're thinking of, mate. And Dick Turpin finished years ago.
Unhappy with plaster work, am I being unreasonable.

Hi Carl,
Given the situation I’m in I don’t think I have any other option than to get him back to “hopefully” rectify the problems.

Are you sure he's PVA ' d properly , you don't want to get finished ( decorated) and find patches of plaster on your floor when someone bounces around upstairs , Lurpac may do a free test

I put the question to him about pva and he got very offended I asked the question. He assured me he has followed the correct process. He believes there has been some movement and it has caused the crack. The 2 cracks aren’t too bad and after researching I believe these have been caused my movement as they effectively run along the plaster board join.
I maybe wrong, but until he comes and takes I’ll look I won’t know what he can do

You don't want to leave do you, Lurpak has smoothed you over!
On a serious note though you should get a refund, I just don't know how someone can leave a finish like that. Did he have a trowel or did he lay it on with his hands?

Also a picture of the so called plasterer applying PVA , 1 coat 15 to1 , leave to dry for 2 days
He conned her in 3 days so clearly didn't let any PVA dry. Seen too many of these years ago as a site QS - he isn't a plasterer but a convincing liar. Even if he does come and fix it - unlikely, you should name and shame, it's a s**t job.

I can honestly think only of @Marshy ! He is a true gentleman and lives around the corner. You should give him a chance once the plasterer is done with his rectifying job, because i don’t think it will be much better anyway. Marshy also does great discounts for the right people. Where is he anyway?

As fun as this thread is, that skimming is absolute dog s**t, and I would seriously doubt he is capable of correcting it. Its not even skimmed tight into the corners ffs. Refund or pay someone to fix, sadly is going to he the course of action. I sincerely doubt they are cabable of fixing it, if they patch it i reckon they will leave ridges trying to feather it in. I cant see them redoing the whole thing,which is probably what it needs. Someone already said, looks like a lab has had a wee go at being a plasterer. No one out there time and even remotely capable would leave a mess like that. Sorry, op, but youve been had.
