Making good

Chris Pearson
After a rather hard day on site today (daughter's rewire) Mrs P said that if she was paying an electrician, she wouldn't necessarily get the chases filled. I said that an electrician would if she paid him (or her). Then Mrs P said that an electrician would never repaint the wall. I said that an electrician would if she paid him (or her).


Who is correct?

    "A man's gotta know his limitations"!

    I won't touch making good in any form - been there, done that and I know I'm hopeless at it.

    Generally, I recommend that a plasterer be sought in order to obtain a finish fit for painting.

    Don't misunderstand me, I really am useless at it - I have tried a couple of times, only to be called back.

    After that, I made it plain that I would not be up to any remedial work to cosmetic finishes.

    That said, if a significant number of backbox holes and chases will be appearing on one wall - such as in a kitchen, then it is always better to get the whole wall skimmed and finished by a professional rather then a filler king like myself.
