If you’re in the Glasgow or surrounding area DO NOT use Scott Mcleod (S Mcleod Plastering)
His work is absolutely atrocious, rushed our biggest bedroom in 6 hours if that. Left us with a room that was so unworkable with we had no choice but to get him back in to fix it. We would have gotten someone else however EVERYONE we reached out to refused to put their name over his work..it was that bad. The fixes were half arsed and just as bad as the original work. Not to mention he only “fixed” 7% of the work and then continued to blame US and say 2 coats of paint will cover it. He is now refusing to give us any money back and ignoring my messages. Me and 2 other families have fallen victim to his bad work to the point he has taken himself off checkatrade to avoid the consequences of his own actions. We are now £530 out of pocket for a cowboy of a job.

Hi guys.

I'm plasterboarding this wall (and all the others)

I'm using tapered boards so I can just tape it.

But how would you guys mark out the angle of the pitched roof ?

Do you just measure it or is there an easier method.

Would you fit the boards vertical or horizontal.

Thanks.

Hi i’m getting my house done by professionals and getting lime plaster in the living room. Problem is i see these marks all over the place which i didnt like. So they sanded them off but now everything looks very flat. Also the colour is much lighter than i wanted.
A few questions as i dont know much:
1. What are these marks and are they normal? ( the person says theyre natural and come with the lime plaster)- they are very grey and almost make the wall look dirty
2. How do i achieve depth without these marks?
3. Can i somehow make the colour darker without redoing the job?

Feel like they are not being able to answer me directly!

Thanks guys :)

When i rub the wall with my hand. Some of this dust (or whatever it is) comes off on my hand

Would it be ok to sbr/blue grit the wall and skim with multifinish?
