Guys whats the best way to rectify this? Sanding it? The guy tells me all rollers leave this type of roller marks and only way to get a flat finish is by brushing it?

it was skimmed by a professional with a very good finish.. the painter painted on a very flat surface

He was painting around the socket in between the socket and skirting

Thanks guys for your input. i can live with a bit some tiny spots etc.. my gripe now is that i paid so much money to get rid of teh artex and now im back to where i started! :( as a client i think he should tell me what to expect.. what he would not do or what he should do to do a better job and...

i will give you a bit more details.... :) i had someone else who did skiming and painting i kept asking him to do good work and fix things and kept telling me he will do it, in teh end he did a very bad job and had brought other people to see the work and were appalled. i now got a new guy to...

he did not paint the doors just walls and skirtings i think 1.5 day. it appears he did no prep work, i noticed a gap between the skirting and plasterboard that i can easily stick my pinky in.. didnt cork it.. i would expect he should fill it? if im paying him by the day shouldnt he just at...

Thanks for your input. skirting was indeed due to a mixture of old and new, is it the painter responsibility to sand it? and by how much? to take it all the way back to remove lumps but keep wood dents? i bought an electric sander to see how much i can clean it.is it a good idea?

hi everyone. i have commissioned a professional painter and i am wondering if his work is of acceptable quality. i think theres too much paint stipple on a brand new plaster? what do you think? also shouldnt the skirting be better sanded? i took a couple of pics to show but not sure how clear...

Thanks a lot!! i was going crazy wondering why it wasnt working!! thanks also about the wiring tip maybe ill have to look into honeywell then.. thanks again i diddnt expect Salus to be that bad :(

thats what i have done see attached link pictures for Salus and how i connected it as well as the diagram for the old thermostat https://goo.gl/photos/q65fYbUq4ReoYBhW9 so my understanding is when you told me to connect live and switched live is the same as the old one? so just wondering if...

i did that and the boiler started to work.. so the thermostat is faulty? i was wondering if maybe it has to do with my wiring as if i undersoon correctly the old thermostat had the live and switched live connected?

thanks.ill see and let u know
