You will need a piece of Bellcast, just looked at the photo.

To be honest Richhen, even though it's round the side of the house, it''s still not a job for a first timer. Give it a go by all means, but even a pro would not get it to match perfecyly. Anyway, first of all, you'll need to scratch coat it using a 4 to 1 mix (4 of "plastering sand/ 1 of...

Have you rendered before???

That job looks very messy/amateurish. I would always use bellcast bead to form a drip. The photo with the stop bead used as a drip says it all, just a waste of time, plus you'll always have the join showing under the soffit. So my advice would be, use a bellcast. You can get them in galvanised...

Have you paid them yet??

What a "terrible mess",, no other words for it. You can't trust these rated websites. True, there will be some good tradesmen on it, but there will be some rubbish too. Word of mouth is ALWAYS the best.

That''s exactly what I'd do, tape it with scrim tape, cover the tape neatly with a couple coats of ready mix, sand it down when dried out, then paint it.

Another way that I always use is a "fine wet stone". You can either put a little drop of oil on the stone, then "carefuly" rub the trowel edges along it, or you can wet the stone with a drop of water. Either way, it'll take away most small "nicks".

Another chancer exposed. See if you can get your money back.

Wow Steve, so sorry to hear about your problems mate. I really wish you all the best, and hope things get better over time. I think it's disgusting that you can't get a benefit payment. When you think of all the scroungers that have lived off of the taxpayer for years, yet you get a hardworking...

An absolute mess, a real plasterer would be ashamed to leave a job like that.

Hi Alastair mate, great to see you posting, and Stevespreader. A great bunch of guys on here, and it's also great to see newer names too. We all make a great team together on the Plastering Forum. Happy New Year Guys.

Well done to you Roy my friend. Darrington has said everything that I would have said. Keep on spreading pal.

Tapered Plasterboard for me anyday whether it's for taping or plastering.

Certainly looks like damp to me.

We NEVER joined the eu, we joined the EEC, a Trading Organisation, nothing more.

The sooner this eu garbage collapses, the better. The eu is the CURSE OF EUROPE.

Wobblybobbly firstly, are you going to be doing the plastering yourself.

The same to you Roy mate, and all the best for 2018.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you ALL.
