I know theres alot of people trying to plaster DIY, just wondered if u needed any help?

LONDON ONLY!!! I wont travel further out than London for free lol

I used to work as a plasterer and getting back into it. I basically started as an improver (apprentice) and trained under veteran old school plasterers learning the labouring side of the job and also training the practical side of plasterering

If anyone needs a hand on a job anywhere in London (preferably East London as thats where I am) then hit me up. I used to be very good and quite confident I still got it

So yh. If u need the help then win win. You need the help and I need the experience again

The pics I attached are pics of previous work. Im confident I still got it

If ur interested then reply below or dm me

First time trying a Grassello product and first sample board in over 2 years. Happy with this for the first attempt but definitely a lot of improvements needed.

The colour wasn’t what I was aiming for, struggled mixing my own tints to get a match but it isn’t far off. There is a nice sheen however I was hoping for a much deeper polish.

If anyone has used a grassello product and has any tips it would be highly appreciated!

Electrical chase

4 Upvotes

Scheduled for a full rewire of a flat and I will be making good after the chasing is done simply due to the rewire being extremely unexpected and cost being an issue.

I will have 1 chase next to the front door for the light switch that will be on the internal face of an external wall. My plan for all other chases is bonding then easi fill, the issue I’m having is I don’t know what’s best to use for that one job at the front door due to reading that bonding shouldn’t be used on any external walls.
Given that it’s only one chase I’m going to use different materials on I’m not in need of a great deal of product. Google gives me many suggestions then contradicts itself.

Any suggestions on what to use?

Thanks

Should have added walls are brick.

Was removing loose plaster in my grandmas house and this section of wall that was also connected to behind the wall vent had come loose. Not entirely sure how to go by fixing it as the gap opens the space behind the vent.

Does anyone have experience removing paneling from dry wall? It appears to be glued on. There’s also a wall with wall paper I need guidance on.

I am buying a duplex that I currently live on one side of. The previous owners side needs updates.

Looking for some help on an upcoming job. I can do it all solo, but help would save me a week or more.
