Decided to strip some wall paper in my daughters room, and a large area of plaster (2 square feet) came straight off the wall. I have the wall paper to put back up, but is anybody a plasterer or know one that is a. good and b. Cheap?

Thanks

Kev

It can easily be done, but travelling 103 miles to you and 103 miles back may be costly in fuel alone (£25), especially to only do a 2' square patch. I have to go and see Gerry as she wants a wall built anyway sometime soon, how urgent is it

mate skimming isnt to hard, get yourself a bag of multi finsh, mix it up to the consistancy of cheese sauce, a bit thicker, get your self a nice skimming trowel, and just wack a few coats up. when it drys, wet it a bit with a bruchs and work out all the streaks and little imperfections.

zippy, Jon's cousin is a plasterer. and he loves private jobs. give him a pm.

I know a couple of excellent plasterers, I'll give them a ring in a bit and see if they can do it soonish.

you forgot to mention the half day or so after it dries that you spend sanding out the lumps with an orbital sander ;) or is that just me
