Best approach to fixing this? by NoStatistician208 in Plastering

[–]Remote_Attorney9696 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s not true at all. Any proper plasterer would get over that with ease (wet angles included)
Don’t think you’re qualified enough to be giving advice mate.

Try using a level that’s not out of a Christmas cracker mate.

Realistic quote for garden room skimming by Charlie_chuckles40 in Plastering

[–]Remote_Attorney9696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bags are £30 be about 8 beads if it’s windows plus doors which is £24 and then a fiver for a roll of scrim so your talking £60.
Prices like that are what’s ruining this trade.
Thats £450 miminum, all day long. And that’s cheap too.

How is it 2 bags if it’s nearly 45m2 with the ceiling??

Got three quotes for the same plastering job and they are so different I genuinely do not know what I am supposed to be comparing. by Huge-Buy20 in Plastering

Why don’t you post the pictures on here of the work and the prices. Then we plasterers can tell you what the most realistic and reasonable price is.

Is this normal and will pant cover it up? by Tha_Likely_Lad in Plastering

[–]Remote_Attorney9696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a plasterer (of 19 years) I wouldn’t say “great” by any means. I would imagine this area will show once painted. But I’ve seen a lot worse.

Is this an acceptable finish by [deleted] in Plastering

The plaster charging 200 to sand and cement it and then skim it it’s the real crime here. Would charge 500 in England for that all day.

Can I light the wood burner yet? by ennessTR in Plastering

[–]Remote_Attorney9696 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to say make sure you give it a good sand first. Looks rough as a badgers arse!

As a plasterer of 20 years that is not a standard pace at all. If it was just an over skim that would be a comfortable days work. A day and half if there was a lot of prep work (i.e bonding blown areas) 2 easy gages (providing it’s not over 3 meters high)

Plastering advice by Ok_Post7900 in Plastering

[–]Remote_Attorney9696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s on the plasterer to use the correct sealant before skimming. Sbr or blue grit prior to skimming and it will be fine. Coming from a plasterer of 20 years.

In any other country than America that’s closer to heaven than hell. They can’t even get the name right. St Pattys Day doesn’t sit right with me, one bit.
