  • Got keys in Feb. Finally moved in about 3 weeks ago. New plumbing, electrics, bathroom and kitchen, also a wall knocked down and new floors down.

    Builders... Insert rant here.

    Anyway, what level of finish should I be expecting? They say that filling etc is part of painting and decorating. Whereas I'm of the opinion that they should leave stuff in a condition ready to be painted. (I painted halfway through just to stop the plaster dust btw)

  • The odd bit of filling around the downlighters is normal and acceptable I'd say. The rest of those photos are jokes. WTF is going on with the skirting and the door hinge screws?!

  • The brown plaster above the sockets is just bonding plaster. You can't paint this; you need a finishing plaster skim over the top.

    The door hinge is unbelievable, but you know that already. I'm not a tradesman, but I know how to miter skirting boards (and have done).
