It been drying while I've been away & we can see the result better now Its better in a lot of places but still far from perfect, one wall is now so thick the window board only has a 5mm overhang at one end, the other end is 17mm. But on the other walls its upto 33mm. He swapped those joined...

Thanks, had a straight edge on it and its not a million miles off in the majority of it, a couple of areas maybe need tweaking. The rough finish makes it look worse than it is. Think I'll have to level it myself or lose it in the tile adhesive as I'll be putting insulating boards down at some...

Currently having some issues with our DG firm over a conservatory. The plastering is still ongoing and the floor seems to of come to a stalemate for now, next problem. We had an inspection cover in the garden which is now inside the conservatory. The drain is shared and goes along the back of...

Had a look this morning and on the surface it doesn't look too bad, god knows how much stuff he's slapped on there to achieve it though. One thing I've noticed which could be a problem is he's skimmed right to the concrete floor now, there was a board thickness gap before. I assume the damp...

I was having second thoughts about letting him near it again this morning and was thinking of ringing to tell him not to bother. But he turned up unannounced and started while I was out walking the dog. I worked late tonight so it was too dark to check his handywork when I got in as we've...

Seemed a daft way of doing it to me as well, that why it said I'd add them myself later so they'd have to plaster the full wall. The wirings only 2.5mmm twin and earth pinned to the wall so hardly massive. The rest was trunking that I'd chased into the brickwork and all the boxes were sunk...

Amazingly two days earlier he was saying how he liked conservatories as its only £50 of materials and £150 labour for a days work. In hindsight it was probably a mistake to give him a chance to fix it, he's more likely to mess it up than fix it. But if its not right then they don't get paid...

If you don't think the pics look that bad maybe I was expecting too much I could self level it or lose it in the tile adhesive if needs be but I thought "smooth concrete" would mean something a bit more finished off. The firm aren't builders just a DG company which is half the prob I...
