No matter how good a Decorator you are there is always a customer with a limited amount of money to spend that can only go so far with the job they need doing ,its frustrating at times but thats life i suppose .Those walls should be taken back to brick and replastered or at least over boarded but you can only work within the budget available at the time .Common problem i see every week so you just have to switch off your desire to do a nice job and move on to the next one .

@@PaintingandDecorating I meant the flaking paint issue which is what the original problem was when somebody decided to skim it. I've been subscribed to your channel for a while and didn't think I'd left any bad comments on any but it seems you got out of bed on the wrong side this morning or something so I'm unsubscribing grumpy chops. Some home truths by the way, I did watch all the video and thought you bodged it. Plaster doesn't peel it de-laminates, the bits you left and feathered up to will delaminate just the same because they have the same layers as the rest. It needed all scraping off, PVA and then a re-skim, I can actually plaster and that is a quick job made long winded by a bodging low-skilled decorator like yourself. Bit my tongue on plenty of your bodging videos so to be called out when I said nothing is hilarious. Get over yourself and learn to plaster!

Hi, love your video, cracking result! I've got a cheeky question... I understand if you don't have the time to answer. I've recently moved into an old house after years in rented accommodation, so my DIY skills are scanty. I've filled some cracks in my plasterboard ceiling, but have over-filled it I think, so lots of rubbing down! Ceiling is slightly textured (textured paint I think, not Artex or anything like that), but the rubbed- down areas are now obviously smooth; it will look horrible when I paint over it. Short of sanding the whole ceiling flat 😬, I was thinking of rollering the smooth bits with textured paint and trying to blend it in, and then painting over whole ceiling with emulsion. I do want a good result though, so do you think this will work? or can you suggest anything else please? Kind regards, Mike
