Problem with plaster - bumps and blowing

[rebeccaa]

Has my ceiling skimmed after I removed the wallpaper.

looked good until I painted it and I saw small spots every where. Also the plaster got small holes in two area (well like a blister I popped).

Got the same guy to do two internal walls. Same thing happened apart from the wall feels bumpy. I’m yet to paint the wall so I know the painting hasn’t caused the issues.

The wall was a bit dodgy to begin with - the plaster kept on blistering when I painted. New Polyfilla would fall of when I painted. So I removed as much that was loose and plaster PVA, left it a week and came back.
The wall looks ok - plaster is sticking to the walls I’m just concerned when I paint it will look bad.

Looks shite but you’re be able to sort it with some easifill and sand paper. Get a mist coat on which will highlight more shite.....then fill and sand until you get a good finish.

So you’ve prepped the wall for him to save a few quid and it’s not been prepped right.

you’ve removed the paper but left loose paint. So it’s bubbled. Should have let the plasterer prepare the wall.

2mm of skim won’t fix a Bumpy wall either.

No I didn’t do any prep to save money. I didn’t remove the paper from the wall, there was no paper on the wall. The plaster prepared the wall.

She said the plasterer pvad it, came back a week later and skimmed it. It was his choice to PVA and skim, he'd seen the prep work that had been done and what state the walls must have been in.
Hardly the customers fault. The plasterer is meant to advise not just slap some PVA over some monstrosity

After removing the wallpaper did you wash the ceiling and walls to remove the wallpaper-paste? If not, the residue glue/paste can cause problems. Morning all

 

[Mike googlebottom]

Tell us how much u paid 4 the ceiling and 2 walls..and be truthfull please,then we can judge..

 

[peterroberts]

That’s absolutely terrible work, he needs to come back and sort that out.

 

[Groove37]

Rough as guts simple as hope you didn’t pay more than the cost of materials

The ceilings? Nope. Doesn’t explain the issues with the wall.

That's top money. If that's 2 average double bed ceilings and say 2 3 meter walls a decent plaster could do that in a day. day and half at most. To leave you that standard of work you've been done a treat, doubt you'll see him again
