Hi all, thanks so far for your help. The plasterer text me on Wed to say he couldnt make it as his job ran over and he couldnt give me a new date and to get someone else to fix it?? Im so angry, I had emptied the room again and hes messed me around.

I will make sure he uses screws. I know you have all said he is doing it cheap but its more the disruption of moving all of my furniture out onto the patio and hoping it doesn't rain. There is another thing I have noticed as well, I had a double socket on the wall and an electrician fitted...

my ceiling made a strange loud noise today and I actually thought it was coming down. When I looked its cracked in 2 places the whole width of the room. Is there any chance it might come down? The plasterer cant come til next thursday

Plasterer has been, the paint/plaster has pulled the artex off the ceiling and is loose. He says the only solution is to board it and skim it again. He wants to charge me for materials (approx £80) plus £40 labour. He said its not his fault and its the guy who originally did the artex??

The plasterer didnt show up, said he was working late on a job and it will be tomorrow now

How do I go about getting it off the ceiling without damaging the plaster?

Yes they are bubbles, you can press them in and feel the gap between them and the ceiling. I have called the plasterer, he is coming over tomorrow night to have a look. I just want to be prepared in case he fobs me off. I dont think the plaster has come loose, I think its the paint. It did...

I used Dulux Pure Brilliant White - Matt Emulsion Paint

Ive took a photo, its hard to show on the picture, they actually seem to be getting worse too. Ive painted many new plaster ceilings and this has never happened before

Hi, I could cry writing this, I had my whole lounge skimmed 8 days ago. The plasterer said I could paint it after 3-4 days. I left it for 6 days to make sure it was dry. I watered down the paint and painted the walls and ceiling. Yesterday I painted the ceiling with dulux matt emulsion and...

Thanks everyone, Im not going to touch it

ok thanks, is there anyway I can stop the cable coming up through my carpet as im having wood floors fitted instead. Its a tight fit too (not enough wire) as its pulled very taught into the back of the box

I am having my lounge plastered in 2 weeks and wanted to know if its possible to have a socket with wall plate installed on the wall to hide the cable from my virgin supply. At the moment it runs round the skirting boards and up a hole the installer cut in my carpet and looks awful Is this the...

Do you think this is fixable?

Here is a photo

The plumber has been and im not impressed, can I have your views? He said that he cant fully put the plastic pipe in the wall as there is no way to fix it to the brick and it keeps popping out. Therefore he said the skirting boards would have to be notched out and pipe visable up the wall, not...

Thank you, thats a great idea

I have a bow window in my lounge and the pvc sill is all marked and stained. I would love to have it replaced with a quartz or granite but would prob cost the earth. My question is, is there anything on the market like thin quartz for cladding or quartz effect that would be suitable?

Thank you I feel much happier now. He said chasing the brick would knock the plaster off the wall and cause more work

Hi, I have 15mm copper pipes running down the outside of my walls to a radiator. I want them chased into the wall and plastered over. I am also having a new radiator put in. The plumber has said that as the walls are brick he will have to use 10mm plastic pipe instead? Is this suitable for...
