    Plastering stair wall

    How plumb and level is the brickwork? Why SBR it before you’ve decided what to do with it?

    You in the USA?

    Is this acceptable plastering.

    Board around the wrong way. Did he screw through a pipe?

    You filthy slag.

    Garage ceiling, Artex or plaster, Asbestos testing?

    Mate, if you can afford it, get it skimmed - that will be one ugly c**t painted - it will look dog-rough and heavy. You’ll forever look up at that ugly c**t and wish you had it skimmed.

    That’s just finish-plaster.
  7. Lastlaff

    Walls to be plastered. Only multifinish or mesh too?

    Get the radiator removed before plastering - get the job done right.

    Magnesium hawk

    Used to love the Emir yellow plastic hawks, even when you had a hawk-full of slippery-slidy browning or s&c on it, it wouldn’t slide off if you put it down.

    1:4 internal rendering

    That mix must be dead and horrible to spread. Get something like this, your mix will be lovely and creamy, great to spread and rule off. Are you sure 1:4 is suitable for the background?

    Hi......been thrown in at the deep end

    Do a rolling-set (if you have a lab), or split the ceiling - half in the morning and half in the afternoon. As far as the paper stripped off - glue it or if it’s that fukced, replace the board.

    Tyrolean at the top,bottom section is pebbledash.

    Artex ceiling fallen after 30 years
