I have artex ceiling throughout my house which I wanted to get smooth
When the plasterer came around he said that he would simple apply bonding, then skim the ceiling to a smooth finish.
I suggested that he reboard the ceiling and then skim, however he was adamant that just skimming would be fine 'as he does this all the time'.
Well less than 24hrs after skimming my room, the entire ceiling collapsed (with my mother in the room)
I immediately called the plasterer and he tried to sherk responsibility.. then begrudgingly stated that he will come around later to inspect the ceiling
I found this guy on a website like check-a-trade and I paid him via cash (never again)
I would like to cover all my bases, so I would like advice on what I should do in this situation
He said that I can clean up the plaster, but I have left it on the floor as proof and am I right in saying that he should be responsible for the clean up?
