Our bathroom ceiling had two long cracks caused by a leaking flat roof. Having had the flat roof replaced, it was time to sort out the interior.

The local plasterer was every bit as good as his online reviews. He worked solidly to leave a smooth finish and took away all the plaster and plaster board he had replaced.

After a visit to the cemetery, my son and I sank a couple of pints of Aspall cider and watched some desultory World Cup football. Let’s hope the Rugby World Cup will be more exciting. It will certainly be another opportunity to get plastered.
