indeed thats what i though

if you get someone in to check that its not still moveing and they say that it isnt then you can do what roy suggested but mabey take it back a bit further than 300mm, rake out mortar between bricks and fit heli bars then replace motar that you raked out, then you fill crack with a 2 part resin...

the job looks a goodun untill you look at the ceilin shame really i really cnt understand why some plasterers cnt be botherd to do things properly anymore, i can sort of see it if its a comercial site cos thier just pushed and pushed to get the m2 on but on a domestic job theres a different...

agreed lets see some pics and see what were dealing with

there some nice neat cracks i dnt think ive ever seen them that straight before im thinking it is plasterboard, the cornice you have could be original but the ceilin needed replaceing in the past so they could have cut a nice straight line round the perimiter to keep the cornice in situe then...

sounds like either not enough skim being applied orrr the boards were taperd edge boards and if you dnt fill out these joints prior to skimming the setting can shrink back into the tapers and show up the joints, how long did you wait before painting??

alright mate i misread it i thought we was talking about the underside i.e the sloped ceilin comeing down the stairs with floor boards above it but not fixed properly causin the ceilin to move and crack. also they was merely asking if it was down to them and how to remedy the fault IF it was...

problem one buy a small sheet of plaster board cut the hole bigger makeing it say around 20cm by 20 cm cut a peice of batten slightly bigger than the hole and slide it into the hole screw through the wall into the batten behind thus createing a bridge do one at the top and one at the bottom (or...

ahhh alaster i wanted to write poly viynal acatate haha

never pva before paintin the pva is water soluable and will emulsify (cnt spell it) causing the paint so slip and slide all over the place as a result the paint wnt bond properly to the plaster and the finish will be uneven and look terrible. so many people have been told pva is the way to...

for a novice tape and joint is easier solution to finishing a wall but its not easy to hide the joints even on building sites ive seen work done by professionals that shows the joints not badly like but enough to say "should have skimmed it" it sounds like a small wall i would still considder to...

did the foil back board have a membrane over the studs before the board was placed and was it insulated aswell (in that particular area)

itll proberly peel off or flake off whichever you like the idea of the watered down coat is to seal the new plaster so that the paint can adhere properly

this is thinking way way outside the box but have you had and sufficiant sized trees cut down from around the house??

that could work mac the problem is pva is water soluable so even if you have put sand into it as soon as you apply your plaster it will liven right up and then it willl still struggle to stick to a gloss paint. im guessing the link was to a bonding agent which has to be left to dry before its...
