new builds... plasterers are *******

[L-E_Fault]

just because its a new build doesn't mean the block work will be bang on. You wanna see some of the stuff I've had to get over.

When you measure 3 or 4 times, for certain reason, and the measurements are spot on and the walls are far from out.

I dont think it gives an excuse at all for filling a box with plaster! on purpose, i can understand a slight amount

But for me to have to DIG a cable out its not how it works.

Ive done MANY new builds, renovations etc and never had this problem ever.

So its not normal or common practise

Next time you're on a job with him, cut the lead off his mixer drill -for a laugh

bend a peice of cardboard into your boxes once your done, it protects your cables and if you get a good bend on it, it will protrude slightly so the plasterer cant go over the box.

and they would just remove it strait away.

Calm down fellas not all plasterers are ******* I'm a plasterer and most sparkys say tuck the cable up for spots and they cut them out after, theres no point me cutting the holes cus I haven't got the drawings, I don't know where they go. I know 1 plasterer if he doesn't get on with the sparky he cuts cables and fills boxes, he's a d**k.

A team of plasterers on a job in manchester a few years back had to pay the electrical contractor

I have my contracts drawn up for such eventualities, and charge the customer accordingly, it is then up to them to reclaim from the plasterer.

i think i might have to add that to my contract, that any additional work will be charged

Unfortunately it is a sign of the times & not just platerers that can be complete idiots, I have had run ins with plumbers & wood butchers over very similar stuff.

I have always let them know before they start on anything, that if they damage my work they will be charged for correcting it accordingly.

Besides, they usually want their kettles or radios working on site.

It was banned - But after receiving complaints that words like "S****horp" were edited, I had to put it back. :_|

 

[ianmacd]

Can you not configure " cXXt*" or similar (i.e. word starting)?

 

[a1]

I have re-banned the word.

 

[ianmacd]

S****horp should be banned anyway (ducks for cover).

 

[Lee321]
