Son had stairwell skimmed after a couple of days a patch (couple sg feet) was cracked and blown. Skimmer came back and redone, same thing happened and some other parts have developed cracks.
I doubt if the guy will come back a third time and the chances are he wouldnt cure it. The area is too large for my amatuerish attempts and he cant really afford to get someone else in.
By all accounts the finish (apart from stated defects) looks good so the skimmer is not a novice.
There is no damp or other noticeable things that I can see would influence it to blow. He did buy the skim new and he did PVA the walls.
Any ideas on what caused it and any thoughts on a decent patch up short term. I could skim smaller areas for him if necessary, but wouldnt tackle the complete stairwell.
My thoughts (due to finance) are for him to leave as long as possible providing it doesnt start falling off the wall.
Whats the pros thoughts on this.
