PVA stains who sorts them out?
Anonymous user 15/03/2024 - 2.31 PM
Have had a full renovation done on a house. Paid builder £8000 and still yet to pay £1600 as kept rest behind until completion. He will be finishing this week and I have notice a lot of PVA stains on walls since having a mist coat. I asked him about them and he said they will sand off.. Who is responsible to get rid of them? Will they just sand off?a
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

To be honest, if your builder has left PVA stains.. In my book as a tradesman, its the builders responsibility.
If your walls are just plastered with no paint on them, dont even bother sanding them, just wallpaper or paint over it, it should not make a difference.
If your walls are wallpapered then be ready to re wallpapers the walls which have PVA on.
If your walls are painted then repaint the whole wall, it will stand out a different colour as paint dulls over time.
Hope this help,

This is one of my pet hates. Yes the PVA will sand off, it must be sanded as it won't paint over easily and it will leave a bump. When i accidentally drip PVA on a wall i quickly brush it with water and clear it off a wall, as I'm aware how much effort it takes to remove once dry. however it is very common for people to leave this kind of thing for a paint and decorator to fix.
