I'm not a plasterer but it doesn't look that good to me. Not exactly glassy smooth. Overworked maybe? Our resident expert @nod will I expect comment. How big an area? If the plasterer has gone / you don't want him / the grief back then Gyproc EasiFill 20 is useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diy Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 That looks lovely I'm just concerned as it was over paint with distemper in and only pva applied that it will fall off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProDave Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 7 minutes ago, Diy said: Does anyone no best way to get rid of distemper in a whole house soft and hard distemper Me and SWMBO spent many a happy hour scraping the horrible stuff off the ceiling of a previous 1930's house. Awful stuff to remove as while much of it was flaking off (the reason for removing it all) much of it was still stuck solid and took a lot of stripping. Wetting it with the wallpaper steamer helped a bit but just ensured it was a sticky gooey mess that came off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diy Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 Can you give me anymore info on ot and roughly time scale it would take to remove and is there any chance you have a private email adress so I can send you pictures of the house much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be happy if my plastering was that good. Tried it 3 times, 3 total failures. I hate wet trades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
