Help - My worker has skimmed using Easi-filler

[paulf]

You’ve not seen it done properly then?

Didn't mean airless was shite, talking about the OP's post and pictures.

 

[paulf]

Done right cant be beaten

Seen pictures on here from somebody that does it and it looked spot on.

 

[BigBish]

I've not seen white board finish?
Is it Knauf plaster?

The one i used from wicks... same brand as there multi

 

[BigBish]

To be fair have you painted it ? Im quite impressed they got easy fill to look like that. Wonder how they troweled it

a lot of house builders will tape or skim a plot when there that busy mate... no matter the spec if the site falls behind.

but it needs to be agreed first.

to blatantly tape someone's house instead of skimming it is some fuucking cheek mate lol

Good luck telling Borat you aren’t paying him

Could be wrong but wasn't the wickes stuff rebranded knauf products.

Yea spurs bbc1

 

[Jason Mewis]

What a bellend, don’t pay him a bean.. you agreed that you were getting your house skimmed and it hasn’t been, end of. Tell him you didn’t plan on living in an industrial unit the f*ckin joker

 

[Bricktop]

I bet it will look fine painted up. The issue for me would be that it’s not going to be as hard wearing as plaster on the new boards....The slightest knock with something and it will dent. I think you need to check all your messages etc to see what was actually mentioned incase you can’t come to an agreement and the company takes you to court for non payment. I would see where you Stand legally before you decide how to proceed.

Ooh il be on that matey

5 past 8 ko
Had a ticket to go , but haven’t been in long so had to miss it

 

[Ali123]

Are you sure its easi fill could be airless plaster

Nope, he admitted he had used Easi-fill ("gybsium", dry lining with tape and jointing)

 

[essexandy]

Nope not painted it.

And don't until the situation is resolved. Remember you asked for it to be reskimmed, in this country that means with plaster.
Pay nothing.

It is a legal requirement for limited companies to give a proper written quote, not just a simple message.

You think that will look fine painted up? God knows what the reveals look like

Have you ever seen tape and joint, sanded and painted? I have and it can look flawless it’s just not hard wearing.

 

[Djr]

And there is the answer in one.

Definitely

 

[Fatarm]

The point is it was to be skimmed..it wasnt and the customer is to sand it down themselves ffs.

 

[John j]

I dont think anyone in there right mind would easy fill a house.

All my customers do

Yeah I have. Obviously if the customer spends a day or 2 sanding it all back, filling in all the gaps they've missed etc it may look fine but that's not the point. If you painted it up as they've left it, it would look a load of shite

 

[paulf]

They took er jerrbbbbs

[bobski]

"This is how they do it in Europe."

My first question was gonna be

Is this guy european then.

Another one.....

s**t job..

Not end of the world @Ali123

But I'd give him the option to sort it, as it is clearly not finished.

It's on his head, he should be stressed not you.

Tell him I'll sort it out for you if not........

for 10k.
