It been drying while I've been away & we can see the result better now Its better in a lot of places but still far from perfect, one wall is now so thick the window board only has a 5mm overhang at one end, the other end is 17mm. But on the other walls its upto 33mm. He swapped those joined...

Thanks, had a straight edge on it and its not a million miles off in the majority of it, a couple of areas maybe need tweaking. The rough finish makes it look worse than it is. Think I'll have to level it myself or lose it in the tile adhesive as I'll be putting insulating boards down at some...

Currently having some issues with our DG firm over a conservatory. The plastering is still ongoing and the floor seems to of come to a stalemate for now, next problem. We had an inspection cover in the garden which is now inside the conservatory. The drain is shared and goes along the back of...

Had a look this morning and on the surface it doesn't look too bad, god knows how much stuff he's slapped on there to achieve it though. One thing I've noticed which could be a problem is he's skimmed right to the concrete floor now, there was a board thickness gap before. I assume the damp...

I was having second thoughts about letting him near it again this morning and was thinking of ringing to tell him not to bother. But he turned up unannounced and started while I was out walking the dog. I worked late tonight so it was too dark to check his handywork when I got in as we've...

Seemed a daft way of doing it to me as well, that why it said I'd add them myself later so they'd have to plaster the full wall. The wirings only 2.5mmm twin and earth pinned to the wall so hardly massive. The rest was trunking that I'd chased into the brickwork and all the boxes were sunk...

Amazingly two days earlier he was saying how he liked conservatories as its only £50 of materials and £150 labour for a days work. In hindsight it was probably a mistake to give him a chance to fix it, he's more likely to mess it up than fix it. But if its not right then they don't get paid...

If you don't think the pics look that bad maybe I was expecting too much I could self level it or lose it in the tile adhesive if needs be but I thought "smooth concrete" would mean something a bit more finished off. The firm aren't builders just a DG company which is half the prob I...

When you say runout do you mean within 1mm-3mm of bubble level per meter? what about the actual smoothness of it, is there a quideline for that? They don't plan to use any smoothing compound thats my problem, they class is as finished! Agree with your comments about latex, They used Ardex...

The tamped slab is up to the finished floor level and inspection cover. They've not allowed me much so by the time i've put the tiles and underfloor heating on it's actually going to be at least 1/2" over the house floor level :( Even if I was to try and self level it i'd have to sort the...

Hi, we're currently having problems with the firm who's buildinng our conservatory I've got a thread going on the plastering, now time for the floor If the invoice/bill says "smooth concrete floor" what would you take that as being? Our is just tamped concrete which is rough a bears a***...

Update: Had them round today, went as expected really As soon as he came in the plasterer mentioned the beading he'd joined and said he's sort it, I didn't realise he'd also done it on the other side. Then also mentioned a bit on the wall next to it saying he'd skim some marks out. Apart...

The Lambda sensor going faulty can cause high emissions and doesn't always put the light on But yours is so high I'd also suspect the CAT may be duff as well, but start with the lamda Do you have any of the other figures off the MOT fail like HC or Lambda?
