Apparently he has plastered straight onto wood which is below the ceiling and sits on top of the bricks. A different plasterer said you cant plaster straight onto wood you have toput up EML first. Can you confirm if this is correct?

Question - should I send it back or can it be used? I ordered 10 bags of multi-finish. I received 10 bags of Board-finish. I only have two ceilings that are boarded and one stud wall (I guess Board-finish can be used here). Everything else, ie, all the walls will be either render or...

I'm well out of pocket with this - it was supposed to be fixed price work and I made the mistake of letting him have a large draw. Hopefully I won't make that mistake again. If he comes back - how would he rectify? Is it a case of fixing EML round the top and then reskimming the whole wall or...

I think I'd soon get fed up of constantly filling cracks. I will go for some coving to cover the poor finish.

Hi House has been taken back to taken back to brick. Should we have the walls rendered or let the plasterer use hardwall for the base coat?

Picture of bathroom air brick

I guess that this can't be remedied now - would my only option be to cover with coving?

Hi Here is the situation: House was built 1940's - with cavity wall's. Small bathroom, 1.7m x 1.7m. There is a small bathroom window and a automatic electric fan is being fitted. There is an airbrick to the external wall. I'd like to block it up as it gives the option to either have a...

Thanks for video's - appreciated.

Hi Yes, it is part of the original chimney. So render it is. Does render come ready mixed or do I have to buy sand and cement separate?

Hi We hired a professional plasterer but I am not happy with his work so have let him go. I had another plasterer come round yesterday to quote and he pointed out the very poorly finished ceiling. There is a fair size gap between the wall and ceiling. It could be hidden if we were to cove it...

Hi Grateful for some info. I've used plasterers quite a few times in the past 8 years. Mostly the work is just skimming and I've never had a plasterer who takes longer than one day to skim a full average size room. If I have an oblong room, which has been taken back to the brick work and...

Right OK, that makes things about right. This particular wall was a strange feature wall - different depth bricks, fairly uneven, so I think that explains things. Many thanks.

Hi I've got a plasterer in - the majority of the work is float and set but I've agreed to a few walls to be dot n dabbed. The plasterer has done the first wall which is small - it literally took up two and a half full sized plasterboards. What has suprised me is the amount of adhesive used...

Got ya! Many thanks.

How can I clean it regularly if it is hidden under the floorboards - or do you mean I clean it from the top where the water exits from the shower?

http://www.screwfix.com/p/mcalpine-shower-trap-chrome-effect-90mm/45503#product_additional_details_container Such as this. Says fit and forget - 10 year guarantee. I'm guessing if this is a really decent product, so long as everything is fitted properly, I can go for a nice looking low level...

So what is a good quality trap? Any examples please?

This doesn't mean a lot to me. Are there any links to pictures etc? I've seen images of raised shower trays with plinths attached to the legs but I think they look a bit unattractive. I do like the look where the shower is mounted directly on the floor (as it is now).
