Browse Forums Building Standards; Getting It Right! 1 Apr 13, 2016 10:33 pm Hi . Im building a new house with porter davis. They are currently working on bricks. In putting them up the power box or meter was in the way of them running the string in straight line to ensure bricks are straight. To remedy this they pushed power box in to house and caused a very large break to plaster in the main bedroom. Builder said they would only patch wall rather than replace. Is this reasonable given the size of hole or should i insist who wall replaced? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Re: Broken plaster wall 2Apr 13, 2016 11:13 pm I think they should be replacing the plaster. The poor standard of work they have is appalling. We're currently building, and our plaster is being done whilst our bricks are too! Which makes me super nervous! Re: Broken plaster wall 6Apr 15, 2016 9:59 pm Just accept the repair if the cornice or square setting is already done - as removing a sheet wil likely mean removing the cornice which is a bit destructive and may require the to be repaired at the edges too. The patch should be invisible when stopped up and painted. Re: Broken plaster wall 7Apr 21, 2016 11:38 pm Thanks so much. This makes me feel better about it.
