There are no rules as to where you start the plastering i.e
ceiling,floor or side sweep.
Its whatever you feel comfortable with.

Idiot.

Hmm, tell that to the last plasterer I employed. He absolutely
insisted on doing ceilings first despite it causing me a lot of
grief doing it that way round (ie, I hadn't got ceilings ready in
time); basically pulled the old
"me-tradesman-you-DIY-knownothing-muppet" routine on me. Love 'em.

You mean you hired a real plasterer rather than an idiot and now
realise your mistake?
Pillock.

29 posts into a thread about learning to plaster via the internet and
you think you are no longer a muppet?

1. The surface is cleaner at the top. If you start low down you pick
up all the dirt off the floor and get into trouble you pilock.

2. Water runs down hill. Starting at the top means it wont run down
onto finished work you idiot muppet pillock.

3. It's easier to clean snots off an unfinished surface rather than a
finished one, idiot.

4. Running all over the floor with a trowel full of plaster while
staring intently at the ceiling will cause a lot less damage to an
unfinished surface, insert favourite epithet here.

5. Planks tend to bang against walls when installing the scaffold.
Then they tend to bang against them when in use folowing the final
work on the ceiling, planks tend to bang against walls as they are
removed, you plank.

I really hope he overcharged you.

Do you have any idea why plasters start with ceiling first? Idiot.
