hi
We are being given conflicting advice on whether our newly plastered wall is acceptable and wondering if people here could help.
We had a leak and had to remove plaster from our kitchen wall. The wall had exposed brick work and a plasterer has repaired this, bonding plaster and then finishing plaster. We are going to have IKEA kitchen units on the wall and have been told that the wall should be straight by the fitter, however the newly plastered section of the wall dips by 10 mm in the centre of the wall so the rail on which the units will hang is not flush.
The fitter has said the plaster should make this even and that checking a wall is level is basic plastering skills. The plaster was adamant it doesn't make any difference and unwilling to do make it level.
Is is acceptable to leave a wall like this? Would making the wall even be difficult now as the finishing coat has been applied? Will it create a problem when fixing the units to the wall?
The plaster is due to return to finish painting the room.
Thank you
