Electric switch covered in plaster, now light doesn't turn off

[Spreadboy17]

Half that. Labour only. I supplied the materials.

So £450 a day as you’d said he done it in two days. Tbf it looks like he done it in 2 hours.
are you sure you haven’t done this yourself, no offence intended.

If I did I would have done a far better job. I'd have used 2 coats for starters!

 

[Skullduggery]

I wouldn't recommend a builder who also does plastering either.

 

[ChrispyUK]

I’ll sort it

I’ll sort it

Too late now, they’ve already said they don’t want you back on the job!!!!!

Holy f**k mate, that's rough af, we all had walls in the past that either sucked like cheap hoover and didn't come out as great, but that's far beyond acceptable. I'd definitely not paid him f**k all for that as he just f**k**g destroyed your room instead of making it better. And if this was on fresh board then even worst as that's as easy as it can get. £900 quid for that shite labour only, f**k**g jokers

It's definitely a wind up . You should grow up.

starting to think that myself mixerman,
essexandy/jessica and casper top my list of suspects

 

[jamesthefirst]

We all know your rough but nobody’s brave enough to tell you!

 

[Stevieo]

I really wish it was. I haven't paid him yet but sorting it with the original guy. He's 'reviewing' the pics with the guy who actually did the work so waiting to see what he comes back.

Bear in mind I've posted only the bad bits, the rest of the walls are decent so he's definitely rushed this bit.

Options I'm considering at this stage are either come back and make good these poor walls or I get a quote from another plasterer to make good and deduct that from his quote. Good to know from the comments on this page that it's not just me.

Here's what you should do.

You should ask the man who sent him to come and make good.

Then pay him all the money and let them sort out who gets what.

Be thankful.

90% of people who come on here have already paid the man and he's away in his sports van

 

[Stevieo]

What area?

The Birmingham area.

Probably that dodgy Dudley Dave . The brumie.plaster slinger, from briele hill .

Oi cheeky b*****d he taught me years ago

 

[woodeneye]

He came back today and removed the plaster, all working fine now.

Reason it wasn't taped off is because there would have been no light source. In hind sight, should have bagged up as mentioned above. Lesson learnt.

As for the comments regarding that's the least of my worries, you are spot on. Not happy with the finish.

Few things.. he's only used one coat of skim so some parts are still rough, he hasn't skimmed up to the door linings so they're not flush, he's left parts where he thinks the architraves will go... a bit of a s**t show all round

It's awful.

Shouldn't be posting stuff like this on a forum the public could potentially view...£900 for x2 rooms? Definitely a windup. You would be looking at £1500 per room plus mats for a quality plasterer.

Me and you Cockney know how to price work.

We know the value of our skills.
