You can tell it's raining outside!

do you think they used a tyrolean machine to put the plaster on it would have been a smoother finish

Looks like a nice textured finish. Not bad.

thats awful.

Either woodchip, sand or skim again. Its always ropey skimming ceilings as the more layers of plaster you put on the more its likely to sag at the joints.

Thanks for all your comments. That was just the ceiling you should see the rest of the kitchen! we are refusing to pay him.

Good; stick to your guns no matter how stroppy he gets.

I would'nt just stop at refusing to pay him, I would make him put it right.

I saw this chap get out of a plastering van yesterday. Could it be the same chap?

I've just had my whole kitchen and utility room walls and ceilings plastered for £400, have made a very good job on first inspection too (literally finished a couple of hours ago).

I was having my walls re-skimmed because they were bad to start off with, but yours are even worse!

Sorry to say but they saw you comming!!!

Looks like the one on the right did it!

It's dog rough.

Terrible effort.

I recently had a new kitchen fitted and where the electricians had made holes in the ceiling we asked for the ceiling to be re skimmed, the builder told us this was not necessary and they could just do the patches where the holes were, so his plasterer did. I don't think the plastering was done very well!!! does anyone agree or is this normal??

They charged us £285 to patch up 4 holes and a foot wide strip running through the middle of the room's ceiling, is this reasonable or not??

Christ!

I did a weekend intensive course and so far have done four 'proper' jobs for friends kind (and trusting!) enough to ask me to do it and I can hand on heart say that the plastering there is diabolical! Even my baby step first go did not produce results like that!

I plastered (including ceiling) a large bedroom for...Wait for it...£40! And I did a near flawless job of it (And also had a baptism of fire with an artexed ceiling!).

Heres me fretting about how much I should charge people and these jokers hav got away with that!?!!
