My house has artex ceiling which I hate. Therefore I called around a plasterer to get this smooth..
When the plasterer came around he said that he would simple apply bonding, then skim the ceiling to a smooth finish.
I suggested that he reboard the ceiling and then skim, however he was adamant that skimming would be fine 'as he does this all the time'.
Well less than 24hrs later the entire ceiling collapsed (with my elderly mother in the room)
I immediately called the plasterer and he tried to sherk responsibility.. then begrudgingly stated that he will come around later to inspect the ceiling
I found this guy on a website like check-a-trade and I paid him via cash (never again)
I would like to cover all my bases, so I would like advice on what I should do in this situation?
