Have you got any photos rusty?

Have you got any pictures ??

When are you doing the acrylic Andy ?

That mesh looks like the mesh plasterers use on outsides for rendering. The key green paint you say he used is probably blue grit or thistle bond it. It's basically pva mixed with grit so the plaster has a good key. There's still no need to mesh the area you need to fill John just fill it in (y)

Patch it in with plasterboard and reskim the ceiling. If the plumbing is done correctly there's no need to have a hatch in your ceiling just in case lol

Also k rend comes premixed in tubs (y)

Yea it is tricky to do. The Base coat has to be dead flat. The k rend is like paint mixed with grit you put it on the wall and use specialized plastic trowels to rub back to the grit. You trowel it on and rub it back to the grit to get the texture. If you haven't done it before when you have...

If I pva'd a wall and went the skim it a few days later I would give it another coat of pva. But if plastering the same day I would just do 1 generous coat.

I would personally get someone in to do the k rend that is more challenging then basic skimming. And if it goes wrong it goes expensively wrong. Also you would need the new Windows/doors in to render up to

Just wet the channel with water to kill the suction. You can add some mesh over the bonding after but you don't really need to. It's not like a joint in plasterboard that needs meshing (scrim) it wont crack if filled correctly.

Mix the bonding plaster up quite thick. Not to thick you can't scoop it out the bucket. And if it's to runny it will not bond and sag and fall out before it has the chance to set. If you haven't used it before mix a small amount and gob a bit in the channel first to build it out. Wait a half...

Thistle bonding plaster to fill it in. Then easy fill over the top and sand. (y)

New wall maybe ??? (n)

Just one coat of pva is enough. Pour it in a tub with a roller put a splash of water in it and mix it. It shouldn't be to runny and shouldn't be to thick. Just creamy. No need to pva plasterboard the boards are designed for multi finish plaster to go straight on. A good tip is to add food...

Skim the whole wall then tile on top (y)

Sand and cement lasts 5 years lol ? Stay well clear from the plasterer! As for the mono it is amazing stuff we use it all the time. It is more flexible then traditional sand and cement and crack resistant and water vapour permeable. It also Comes in many colours so no need for painting. The...

Could you take some photos of the rounded corner beading ? Rounded corners do look great in the the right places. And there simple enough to do. If some walls don't look to bad you can always use easy fill and sand them off. Light swirly artex can be skimmed over no problem, you will struggle to...

Totally agree (y)

Shocking ! Primer then coloured acrylic thin coat 1.5mm grit over the top.(y)
