right chaps,
got a couple of stairwell walls to float in a house, the owner has cut openings into both floors to fit new staircases in the opposite side of the house, the walls have been patched...BADLY where the floor hit the walls, naturally at that level it has created a high point as the plaster was applied thicker at the skirting level of the floor above, hope that makes sense.
anyhow, i recommended floating it to get it flat rather just skim it, he emailed to accept my price today so will be doing the job soon and wanted to check with you guys the best way to do it.
was thinking about applying long vertical screeds to get a plumb level then filling in, or would any of you just attempt floating as normal making sure you apply thickly enough at the top to get over the high point by the time you've come down to floor level?
thanks as always.
P.S. anyone else find stairwells a bit of a pain?
