Thanks a lot. I'm not really good at mixing stuff, so would really prefer ready mixed plaster that I could use to skim right after I have screwed on the plasterboard...

Unfortunately, it's not an option for us at the moment and I will explain why: - 1. We have a tenant living in that room at the moment, so I cannot just kick him out to redo the entire ceiling 2. We will refurbish the entire house in the future, which is when we will have builders to redo...

Thanks guys. Basically, we have changed builders. Previous builder took our money and left. For this particular pitched roof, old builder battened on the lowest row of slate, making it impossible to now put in the eaves carriers, unless we take off at least two rows of slates. Old builder did...

Anyone please? I would be really grateful.

Hey guys, Quartz kitchen worktop thickness - 20mm or 30mm, which would you choose and why please? Would 20mm be too "weak"? Or is it simply the look of it that's different? Thanks a lot!
