Even worse were the train carriages when smoking was still allowed in the odd coach on the formation. Commuting back and forth to London it was a real disaster if you got on without realising you were in a smokers coach. Similar fog everywhere and you needed to get your suit cleaned as the stench hung to clothes for ages otherwise.

Get a plasterer in to skim it …
Why people endure hours of stress to do a job usually badly rather than get in someone who does it all the time and knows exactly what they are doing is beyond me . Life’s too short .

Listen to me!!!
Ask Poyet. He knows about ceilings apparently
Hope you don't mind me asking, but how do you know the colour of David Dickinson's arse
Unless he was a faux naturist, with someone to reachround where the sun don't shine, my money is on pink.
Or yellow.
Possibly beige. Mottled, too.
Good thread this.
Cleaning a ceiling and painting with the Zinsser B-I-N stain block isn’t difficult, probably quicker than cleaning up after (some) plasterers
Perfect finish? Depends who the plasterer is
Cheap? ……..see above
As I went on to say I know 3 great plasterers. Brother-in law the cheapest but the others not much more.
140 years experience between them.

You’d have to prepare the surface for plastering anyway, so likely need to do the sugar soaping and a pva / prep coat before plaster, then you have your mist coat before painting properly but you’ll have to wait a week really for the plaster to dry properly. No plasterer plasters a ceiling without getting it all over your walls either, unless you go to the additional effort of taping and covering the walls too.
Yes I saw that, but maybe the OP doesn’t know 3 great plasterers he can call on.

Turns out the cheap one is a family member
Cost me £300 a day if I need a spread that might not be cheap to some people, I don’t mind as get the money back from the customer.Turns out the cheap one is a family member
I pay him his going rate and usually add £20.
The other blokes are similar price. Day rate of about £150 I'd guess.

When did you last use him 1987
that’s seriously cheap these days. Every trade I know wants £300 a day to turn up and that’s for me the contractor in some cases. Labourers are on the £150’s.When did you last use him 1987
Do you think that is because you’re in London?

There is that although Brighton is a seriously expensive area judging by the property prices. I’ve got to do a fire alarm system in Brighton and priced the same as I would London.
I’m surprised you are not charging more if you’re travelling from London to Brighton, travelling time and the price of fuel.

Still a good price tbh, I work with a company who do the fire risk assessments and they pass on all the alarm enquires. An ambition is to just do fire alarms nice clean work and healthy profits.
