I am having my hallways plastered up and down.
The wall joining the next house (party wall??) has had a huge crack in it, so removed all loose plaster back to brick work and filled the cracks with cement (i could have removed and replaced the bricks around the crack, but looks like it hasn't moved in decades, so just filling, also crap at DIY).
My question is, as we have some guys in plastering, what should I look for to spot if they are doing a good/bag job?
The highest piece of wall is over 20ft, from stairs to ceiling. How will the plaster and skim this all in one go, so to make it smooth?
We are wanting to paint the wall, so a good job is needed.
I do think they will do a good job, just want to be knowledgeable of the work, to spot the cowboys (never forget the guys who tarmac'd my dads drive and left have un-finished as it has snowed haha)
