I work full time and all of my spare time over the past couple of years has been spent ripping out old fibreboard ceilings, replacing with plasterboard and a full remodelling of the wall layout to the groundfloor of our house. This has included battening and boarding existing walls to straighten everything up. Up until sunday we had plasterboarded walls and ceilings which were plumb, level and straight.
On monday (day before yesterday) a locally recommended crew of plasterers came in, and have destroyed the lot.
1. They have plastered right down to the floor, leaving bellcasts at the base of every wall.
2. Every internal corner curves into itself, is 'wavy', and is no longer vertical.
3. There is not a single flat wall. All are concave, convex and full of lumps, holes and scrapes.
4. They plastered inside the double sided chimney (over my cement board) with a 'mystery fire resistant' plaster, which has bubbled and blown on the same day it was applied.
5. The external corners going into door linings are not square. Window reveals are not vertical and differ massively in thickness.
6. They plastered up to and around sockets, rather than removing them. All sockets are now bowed out from the walls.
I am so devastated and angry at all the time and effort lost. I'll have to remove the lot and reboard at huge time and financial cost.
It's just gone midnight. I've taken the morning off work to confront them and chuck them off the job when they get here at 0830ish. Hopefully it won't turn nasty.
