this is very poor and i would be very embarrassed if i had done the job. he obviously doesnt know how to use his measuring tape to effect :?

no sorry, show me the pro way

how many 8x4 pbs would i need to cover a room that is 3meters square also the ceiling needs overboarding each wall is 3m long and 2.4m high, with one wall having a bay window. i was thinking about 11? am i far off? thanks in advance guys

really struggling now, i need to make a timber frame so that i can screw some 12.5mm foil backed pb to it, but i cant find 12.5mm wood anywhere the lowest thickness i can find is 19mm. the main reason is the door will not shut if i come off the wall too much. i was going to stick the...

What's the cheaper option in case they think that the king span is too pricey? Is polystyrene boards any good

where do you get kingspan from? local builders merchant ?? yes the mould has been sorted previously its still on the walls but they had the floor removed and redone so no more rising damp, does it need cleaning off the walls before its covered up? should i tell him to bleach the walls...

just a quick one guys, i have been to quote up a job , now the person wants a room completely reboarded with a timber frame around the room and insulation put behind the boards which isnt a problem, i havent had to do this before, ive studed and boarded but never used any insulation so my...

hi there, right she still wants it covered up so what is the best insulation to put into the hole. is foam plus pb enough? only need a couple of handfuls of something. also her walls are painted, i normally score them before pva but on my last job one of the walls started to blister...

steves right get a few quotes first mucka, still steep though

seems pricey to me, i have just skimmed a kitchen last weekend which was about 4m x 3m and i charged him £180 all in done it in one day, mind you i did have a labourer for free for the day :D prices are higher in london though, if you were in brum you would probably be looking at...

yes the curve is already there but thanks for the info :)

just a quicky :D i am plastering a bathroom the weekend which is no problem BUT. they have a ceiling that curves into the wall at one end, i have never skimmed a curve before so am a little apprehensive about this. any tips? will the trowl just follow the curve no problem or is...

sorry but you will need your drill for this one, if you stick it then it will eventually fall off. buy a good drill bit and you shouldnt have a problem drilling through the steel.

ok so two thin coats of multi finish then when its level with the existing ceiling i can spray some water on when polishing and feather it over the outline of the board obviously i will apply scrim tape across the adges first before i put any plaster on. if i get it all level and smoothed off...

its not a hole is a sheet of 6x3 plasterboard and he has left it about 5mm shy of being level, im just worried about around the edge of the board when its level, will you see the joints when he paints it??? cheers :D
