Easy fill hole quick coat of paint job done £150

 

[spread95]

Second thoughts finish with a bit of cement in, easy fill take to long to go off, out the door in 1/2 hour

 

[Liverpooljoe]

It's got significant cracks and it's got flakey paint all over it, don't think I'll be able to just skim it to be honest

 

[Brimstone]

Cracks mean movement so anything you do will crack, short of overbaording of course. Spread 95 has the right idea, some of the paints are really quite flexible.
Just accept that the cracks will slowly re-appear and a new cost of paint and filler in a few years time.

Just walk away from the job you know just reskimming a blown lath and plaster ceiling isn't the right thing to do if the customer don't want to pay top dollar and listen to sound advice there's a bottom feeder who don't give a s**t about there rep that will do what the customer wants

 

[ChrispyUK]

Dangerous too. You don’t want old lath and plaster falling down in your head!

Welcome fellow scouser...ps run a mile from that shite

 

[Wayners]

You touch it you own it. That's a state... Prepare to work hard and get a phone call to say come and fix cracks for free. One days labour and a few sheets of plasterboard is out of reach for customer then that's not your problem. Run!

 

[Mouldyoldspudgun]

Leave that one mate, if he won’t pay to overboard being as it’s on lath and plaster and could fall down or just crack again when he will be on the phone to you telling you that you should put it right out of your own pocket, then it really isn’t worth talking to him

Or tell customer to f**k off.

Maybe he already owns it...

Maybe the customer and the poster are one and the same?
