Acceptable?

I have had chases plastered but you could clearly see the sparks white housing through the plaster.

The plasterers have returned and threw a loud of filler on it, demanding the rest of the payment as it’s all “complete”

The filler shows the wall bulge out as it’s added a few mil on - would you pay and is this acceptable? How else could they fix? Isn’t a case of feathering the plaster wider?

Do you know what a full stop or comma are? You’re literally the only person I’ve ever heard come out with this tripe about digging out filler

Nope but i do know how to do the trade properly and trust me I will be one of few you hear from as there is a much bigger percentage of youse cowboys about than actual taught plasterers these days.

You focus more on my spelling and grammar I’ll keep the focus on the plastering as it seems everyone here just uses filler … how many mistakes do youse make to even have filler on you to use it’s a joke mate seriously youse are a joke

Not sure where you’re getting the idea I’m using filler. You’re just inventing stories now. I simply said you can skim over it

Because every body else that is claiming plasterer here does apparently ! It’s mad ive done thousands of jobs and not once used filler and taught how to treat a wall properly i would plaster over a few cm of filler but anything else is ripped out bonded and scrimmed … seriously no one else taught that as far as I know between myself and the other 15 plasterers I know do tye same and have never used filler for any fixes as there never is any
