Bad Plasterer’s

Cut s long story short, I’ve had 4 local plasterers do pretty bad jobs round my place. Not sure what to do anyone.

The latest one has a really good finish on the walls and ceiling and the externals are good but the internals are not great. He insisted on using an internal tool so he could do a wall and ceiling after each other.

On the other walls he’s pulled down from the ceiling with lots of “mini” strokes whereas I’ve seen it done with one continuous horizontal pass before. Any thoughts please?

I’m getting really fed up with it now so please no piss taking or wise cracks.

Any plasterers on here your advice would be great please. Thanks.

Nottingham/and everywhere my location says i am ;)

Know several good plasterers... All in Notts. But the question is price. And they aren’t cheap as they are bloody good at what they do.

But it sounds like he glassed it.. No pun here but too much stroking and you’ll never paint it.. ( I’m not a plasterer, but I did labour for my plasterer when he did my house and I got bollocked for too much stroking )

Was going to message you but I can't due to the restrictions you've set up.

.

Good tradesmen are always in high demand and usually go from one job to another so can basically name their price, Most but not all don't bother with small jobs so its hard to get them to patch up a wall/ceiling etc unless its a friend or friend of a friend, If know one can recommend one for you try a web site that does and read the reviews

I’m a builder, shouldn’t do two walls together. You do the ceiling first with maybe some reveals finish that. Then you do opposite walls, you never have wet corners, always looks shit.

He was raving about his internal trowel and tbh I thought it was shit from the finish it left! Plastering with a wall paper scraper would have got a better finish! I’m so fed up about it.
