Hello
We had two rooms and a hall skimmed two weeks ago. Although at first we were really pleased with the work we are now starting to have some doubts. As part of the work he replaced the old wooden rounded corner beading (sorry I don't know the correct terminology) with new straight metal corner beading. We got several quotes and all said they would do this as it would stop cracks appearing. However last night we noticed that on almost every corner that has been replastered and given new beadin there are full wall length cracks.
My question is pretty obvious.... Is this normal, should we accept the work? We have already paid the plasterer however he is coming back next week to finish off a wall which we were waiting for a new fireplace to be installed on. Woud it be reasonable to expect to him to sort these cracks out?
Thanks for your help in advance
