Lmao

I'm not sure myself. Trying to work it out.

Hard to tell if that's reflections or not?

Definitely seems the best route to actually see their work as good work can be subjective to each person.

That is exactly my experience. It definitely looked and felt spot on or I wouldnt have payed him.

It was £300 for the plastering. £120 to reboard the slope. See my original reply to pl plastering mate. I really didn't think it was overly cheap no. Maybe I was delusional but i certainly wasn't being cheap. Pay cheap pay twice. Definitely will learn from it though and maybe avoid cash in hand...

Lol true. What does worry me about plastering however is it can look pretty good before painting so by that time you've already handed over the cash.

You're right mate, I appreciate your advice and it's been taken on board. I had 3 quotes. £450 £300 and £300 so I just went with the most popular quote, but as you said I should have went with recommendations rather than just prices. Noob mistake but it was my first time getting a plasterer so...

I have nothing to gain from lying mate.

2 days, and I agree if you look for problems you'll find them but you really didn't even need to shine any light on it to he honest. Natural daylight was enough. Lesson learned I suppose. I'll know prices next time, but its frightening to think these sort of 'plasterers' exist regardless of how...

Hopefully to help stop a dodgy tradesman from gaining more customers? I'm sure I'm not the first to have a bad plasterer in their house. I dont have any possible monetary gain from it, you're right, but hopefully it helps even one person to avoid what I've had to deal with. Regardless of price...

You're right it's weird putting screenshots up, but you kind of need to on here. People seem to accuse you of everything before knowing all the facts.

I hear you but would you be happy with your name on that job regardless of the price? I always got told to get 3 quotes on any work and the most expensive was £450 for the plastering. Either I was really unlucky and got 3 quotes from cowboys, or that is the going rate in my area. The plasterer...

Lol I'm looking for some money back? I've got more chance of winning the lottery mate. If a plasterer can't do a good job for a certain price then dont f**k**g quote it. I've been told no decent plasterer would be happy with their name on that job.

You joking? It's a big f**k**g lump on the wall and a internal 'corner' that looks more like a cliff. You didn't even need an LED light to see it. Majority of they pictures it was day light.

I got it fixed for £260 and it's near perfect.

Oh yeah? I gave him quite a while to sort it out actually if you care to read which you clearly haven't. Heres some screenshots of 2 weeks after his job if you don't believe me. I was also was on the phone to him several times. I gave him far too long thats my problem.

Yep it took me days to take it all off.

Yep! I can't stand the guy after this, and have named him, but I still wont post his phone number as that's just wrong. As far as I know his real name is Andrew Sinclair and definitely had a local accent (Glasgow).

Ignore the fact I was under the impression that Brian was his name. I didn't find out until later his name is actually Andrew Sinclair

I wish I had known about this forum last year but I only got told about it fairly recently so this is all academic at this point, but I still wanted to get it off my chest.

The gyprock was done on a different day by him but the two of them done the plastering all on the one day.

He was initially going to take 2 days but he turned up with another guy on the day and said he could do it in one day

His name is Andrew Sinclair from Glasgow. I dont have much more information on him.

Oh sorry. See you soon ;)

£300 for plastering and £120 for the sloping gyprock above stairs.

I didnt even attempt to try and fix it. I got a good plasterer in to skim it. Ideally I'd like to name and shame him but I'm not sure if that is acceptable on this forum or not.

They genuinely were more flat than his finished plaster. The brand new gyprock he installed and skimmed over is all bumpy too so thats the acid test and he failed at that too.

True mate. I gave up quite a while ago and got a good plasterer in to fix it, but I just wanted advice as to how bad you all thought it was.

£300 for the plastering and £120 for the Gyprock at the sloping part above stairs

Both ;)

Hi everyone. I'm new here, my name is Darren & thanks for letting me join your website.

Additional photos: (The second last photo with the white paint is the sloping part under stairs which was brand new gyprock he fitted, and even that is all bumpy with seams showing)

I had my hall plastered last year and was wondering what your opinions were of this? I'm sorry that I don't have before pictures as I didn't expect what I consider a poor job. To be clear the walls were pretty level beforehand and I just couldn't believe how it turned out. Before starting...
