    Rough-casting

    no, dont go with the cheaper one. You will find it wont last through next winter. Is bith prices including all materials and scaffolding? If so, even at 3500 you have yourself a good price. Price isnt everything though, as you said there is far too many cowboys or "tradesmen" who work to a very...

    Rough-casting

    I prefer to hack off and find the cause of the cracks. Meshing over is another option. I wouldnt coat straight over painted roughcast as you will see the cracks come back through, then you will see it come back off in sheets. My honest opinion is hack off and re do. It might be slightly dearer...

    Will keeping the coving look OK?

    Check the artex for asbestos first then if ok, you can get yourself a big scraper and scrape back flush, then your plasterer can give it a 2/3mm coat of finish. I do this on pretty much all artex reskims

    Fitting downlights with 2 layer plasterboard ceiling?

    Ask a sparky, you will get a better response. Us plasterers don't fit downlighting

    HELP! walll repair after removing skirting

    In picture 1 it looks as if there is bit of loose plaster. Pull this off the wall and patch everything up with bonding then skim any areas skirting will not cover

    Help needed fairly sharpish!!

    As above, come with years of practice. If it was that easy then we would be all be unemployed

    Help needed fairly sharpish!!

    It will help kill suction so feel free to pva it. Make sure its tacky before coating onto though

    Help needed fairly sharpish!!

    No need to pva the bonding. The rest of the wall will need pva if you have not already done so

    Super chelsea

    I'm kinda glad we got bayern. Think madrid is the better team with. But think bayern will be dangerous, especially being at home.

    Help needed fairly sharpish!!

    Yeah, there is a hell of a lot of suction in those blocks where as there is very little in the lintels. I think you know the answer yourself but yes, wait until both are solid and non greasy. Are you skimming the whole wall or just patch?

    Help needed fairly sharpish!!

    hopefully you havnt started skimming yet. Wait till bonding has set and completley dark and when you drag your hand down the wall it isnt greasy. A couple hours should do the trick

    skimming over textured ceiling?

    How thick is it? Anything over 3mm give it a coat of bonding to bring out flush then wait till set and skim. I would probably use a bonding agent first before you plaster

    Are you going to Munich mate? I'm thinking of it but it will be pretty much impossible to get a ticket

    Should I pay for a bad plastering job?

    I would not pay him but give him that chance to do it right. Make it clear to him that you won't payup if he leaves it to a poor standard. He will probably get aggressive if you don't pay him but you have every right to expect a smooth flat finish.
