I asked him and he said he used medium pile and said the issue on the walls is something to do with the walls being previously painted

Little greene have just replied to us saying it could be he used a too high pile roller. Doesn't explain the grit in paint though. I have attached one final picture of the finish of the door frames as I didn't include those yet, the electrician said there shouldn't be as many brush lines

I really appreciate your advice so wanted to say thanks, also if @Wayners would be able to chip in I would really appreciate it. My mum and stepdad said that if he doesn't redo it all to a high finish about doing your previous suggestion of getting an estimate to redo it properly and go to the...

This is how the kitchen wall is, he said he did 4 coats in kitchen but 2 in other rooms

How would you recommend proceeding? The advice we got from the electrician who came over was that to actually get a professional rather than diy style finish, the walls need filling, sanding, lining and repainting and the woodwork resanded and repainted. Hes coming over tomorrow

Yeah he didn't do that in a lot of places. The thing that bothers us the most with the walls, apart from the gritty paint and cutting in ect is how none of the paint actually looks flat and smooth on the walls with the exception of the lined room, how they are in this picture, although there is...

Ah OK, I wonder where all the grit came from then in the paint? Maybe dirty equipment? The paint is 120 per 5l and is supposed to be top quality so find it unlikely it was in that, the previous banister for example felt smooth when running hand down it, but now running your hand along a 30cm...

He said he kept wall sanding to a minimum to make sure the old paint didn't come off, as it would mean more work and more money because of the extra time

Image 9 is how the previous paint was on all the walls, 5 is the bedroom after he had fully prepared the room and also painted ceiling but hadn't coated walls, image 1 and 7 is living room wall after fully prepared but no paint except skirting boards painted in image 1

He said to us to go around and list any areas that had snags for him to do lol, even though it was almost everywhere. I have a couple of pictures I took while he was here, one of how the paint peeled off the walls and a few of the walls after he had prepared them before he painted them, also a...

Thinking back it does seem like he didnt seem to get much done in the time he was here. He still hasnt painted the stairs, only the banister and also hasnt touched the 2 airing cupboards cupboards at the top of the stairs or the bathroom ceiling yet either, plus all of the "touching up" of which...

i have attached the 2 files of the agreement and the scope of work. bedroom 1 is the large one, bedroom 2 is the smaller one that he did second and didnt line or anything but said the walls are just that way ect

Also we never saw him washing any surfaces. The woodwork was sand, then coat with a coat of the little greene wood paint, followed by another coat a day or 2 later, the walls were filling, sanding mainly on the filler, then paint, 2 hours later paint 1 more coat, except the kitchen which he said...

Theres also obvious grit in the banister too on stairs like there is in the walls and other woodwork. It just seems to us with the grit in all the paint, even the perfect looking ones in the bedroom plus the lack of lining and sanding of the bad previous paint is going to mean starting from...

Sorry for the late reply, have been extremely busy the last couple of days. What happened from the start was we told him he wanted a very high quality job with only little greene intelligent paint as we only wanted decorating doing once that would last us many years, ie to a high standard with...
