    Is this good quality plastering? Am I being ripped off? Advice

    Is this good quality plastering? Am I being ripped off? Advice

    You need to be honest and tell them your not happy with the finish! Everyone on here can see its shite. If they have any decency then they will sort out there mistakes, if they get pissed then report them to trading standards. Don’t pay them anything until it’s sorted. Good luck
