Maybe I just have bad luck but I seem to have this problem with every single plasterer I've used.
Recently just had a room skimmed by a plasterer(all onto board, butt joins + mesh tape), was a very neat job, corners are all perfect etc.... Just painted it and sadly I can see far too many plasterboard joins in the ceiling. It's like a faint shadow/bump along the joint lines. Can't see it so much in daylight but when the lights are on at night you can see where the boards are. Other than that it's a great job.
Only thing I can think of is they aren't putting on enough skim. It's annoying because now the room is all done, I'm sure the plasterer would offer to do it again but it's going to make a mess.
Any of you lot been called back for this problem? Dunno whether I'm being picky or what but to me, I don't think joins should be visible on a ceiling. Worse thing is as well, you don't know they're going to be visible until you paint it.
What is the cause?
