I have had a fair bit of work done by a builder. Parts were to be decorated (with a colour specified), and parts were specified in advance as "no redecoration required", as I intend to paint these myself. All of the walls and ceilings were new plasterboard.
Towards the end of the job I had to ask for the unpainted sections to be taped up and skimmed suitable for me painting afterwards.
I've now received a bill for a few hundred for plastering.
I had thought taping and skimming the work was part of the "build" and not the decoration, and that the decoration would be me painting it.
Am I wrong? Does the build normally stop at screwing on the plasterboard?
Any advice would be appreciated.
