    • Garden wall render
    Plasterers - 10 answers

    I have a garden wall around a patio built with thermalite block. A small portion is a retaining wall but only about 30 cm deep. What can I use to render the block including below ground surface? The goal is to finish the block with a smooth surface and paint white. Location near Peterborough.

    How to plaster/cover mdf shelf
    Plasterers - 8 answers

    Hi, We are renovating and had a chimney breast built from plaster board this houses our TV and below it a rectangle recessed shelf. The problem is the base of the shelf was made from mdf (my dad thought it would make it more stirdy) problem is, the plasterer was then unable to skim it so we now have a fully plastered chimney but the internal shelf has an exposed mdf base. The opening (front edge) has the plasterers metal trim on show so we can't just paint the wood to match. I'm now trying to work out what to do to cover it up do I buy a slim piece of wood or plaster board and stick it on top? I'm worried that will look weird? I'm worried the exposed edge will look messy. I have also read that you can put down some sort of mesh to enable you to plaster on top of wood but not found much info about this so not sure if it's a good option. Thanks in advance for your advice. Wish I could attach a picture as I'm sure it's quite hard to picture. Thanks

    Advance payments
    Bathroom Specialists - 10 answers

    Hi, I have been asked for a 50% deposit up front before work to be started on a new bathroom. It is 50% of the cost of materials and 50% of the cost of labour. If the work wasn't up to standard I'm guessing they could argue that the products are not mine and take them away unless I pay for the labour if it's not up to standard. Is this right? I feel like I won't be covered if anything goes wrong with the work. I asked for a contract and was told they don't have contracts but I can take their emails as a contract instead. They have stated they will complete the work by the date they have given me. Should I be worried?
