Newly plastered Ceiling has come down, who is to blame?
Anonymous user 13/03/2024 - 2.31 PM
Tradesman to tradesman question here. I went to plaster a ceiling not so long ago and after PVA'ing the ceiling I went through the floorboards on the landing area upstairs. I decided due to the floor boards I would go away and come back when they were sorted, the customer failed to mention the floorboards were dodgy and that she already had someone coming to sort these out!! Anyway, returned later to plaster the ceilings, floorboards now fixed. Plastered the ceilings, got paid and left the job and a very happy customer. My phone rang approx 8pm the following night, the ceiling had fallen down (just the new plaster). She later told me that the ceilings were painted by the decorator before I plastered them. He also painted the ceilings only 13 hours after I had finished plastering them too. Whos fault is it? I carried the work out correctly to my knowledge to then be told later that someone had painted over the bonding that I had prepped the ceilings with before hand. You'll be able to see the negative feedback left by the customer on my profile.
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?
