skimming,floating,rendering,boarding,pva and skim?

both senarios are posible but if im paying for a plasterer i wouldnt expect to be pvaing boards, ive never mentioned to any of my customers either, unless i didnt know what i was talkin about :lol:

cut out the damaged area and reskim the whole ceiling, forget trying to match the pattern it will look bad. Scrape any high spots tape the joints and pva and skim.

bonding always cracks on high suction backgrounds aslong as its stuck it will be sound just pva and skim also run your knife over it to provide a key for the finish stick.

zampa they have your qualifications on it if you want a painter who is C&G qualified and it says it on the card what else can you ask for, give them a start if there ****e get rid. Appart from this card there isnt anything else that does this for all trades. ive heard that many stories about...

i agree they dont guarantee your work is spot on or even better than someone with less qualifications but they are a good starting point. The holder has completed a H&S test so thats good, and the holder has x amount of quals so thats good. I would be happier working on site knowing everyone has...

not in my lifetime :lol:

Thats the point im making they show if you have quals.

What type of plaster?

how many ceilings? price for labour and materials? how soon do i start ;)

what kind of render finish is it? why has it fell off? sand and cement (rendering sand) 3-1 with waterproofer for scratch coat, 5-1-1 (lime) for top coat. It is imposible to match up rendering without noticing so might be worth taking it all off especially if some has already failed.

have to disagree, whoever has one has past a health and safety test so atleast they have more of a clue about safety. they come in different colours red, blue, gold, silver and probably a few others, labourers,trainees,skilled worker and tradesman cards. they show what quals you have so it...

you can hang the radiator now but if it doesnt need turning on i would leave it aslong as you can.

cheers, it makes sense his own insurance should cover him, spoken to him and hes gonna ring them.
