Now keep in mind the walls were not in a great condition to start with. But that being said the finish on this work is terrible. The guys were really pleasant to deal with, but while the work was happening I had 2 red flags - they did the ceilings after the walls (hence splashes everywhere) and they wanted to apply filler to wet plaster to smooth it out (which would have sucked the moisture from the filler and fallen out).
The result is a very poorly done room, the plaster is blown in multiple places, its cracking and the ceiling is starting to bubble only 1 week later.
Response from South London Plastering
Hi Imogen,
Thank you for your feedback. Prior to starting, we advised that the existing wallpaper should be removed due to the condition of the walls and the risks of skimming over it. You instructed us to proceed over the wallpaper to keep within budget and avoid further preparation. We also reduced the agreed price and completed additional work outside the original scope as a goodwill gesture. Background condition significantly affects the final finish, however we’re happy to revisit and discuss any reasonable next steps.
