Hi, We've got a plasterer in today putting up coving in three rooms (3x3.5m) and at top of stairs (1m x 2.5m) and I've just been round to check in and make a coffee and he's nearly finished already. So will have done all that in just over 6 hours. The joints and corners look good, but where the edge of the coving meets the wall and ceiling, in some places there's a layer of coving adhesive, meaning that the edges are further away from the wall/ceiling in some places than others. - ie. looks like the 0.5mm or whatever edge that is on the coving is 1cm thick in places.
Imagine this won't be much of a problem the ceiling side as both will be painted white, but where the edge meets the wall I thinnk it's going to show.
The house was built in 1895 but has recently been replastered by the same guy. Walls aren't completely even, but not too bad either. We did one room ourselves as beginners and managed to get the coving to sit against the wall and ceiling so the edge you see is just the thickness of the edge of the coving all the way around, so feeling annoyed that the professional hasn't acheived the same results.
Don't know what to do because he's pretty much finished the job now, and I know the adhesive dries quickly and can't be re-done.
Does anyone agree that this is unacceptable, or is this common practice and I'm just being a perfectionist?
