Plastering & Rendering

Why aren’t plastered walls smooth?

Hi All. I recently moved into a property and hired someone to plaster, sand and paint the house. The ceilings in this house are textured so i wanted them smooth. He has sealed them, plastered and then painted over however even after sanding down some lumps and bumps there are still some bumps in the walls and ceilings. I am looking for an immaculate smooth finish with no bumps etc. Can you advise what can be done here? I didn’t think one would need to sand after plastering. We didn’t use plasterboard as we didn’t want to drill into the texture and disturb what could be asbestos so this was the only option we had. I have been told they are yet to be finished and not to worry. I have already paid a lot of money and I am getting worried wondering whether I will ever be able to have that smooth clean finish with no bumps or lumps.
