The job is now finished and yet there is a very irregular feel to the wall, not as expected smooth and flat all over. The wall underneath was not flat before the work was done, so is this the problem? Can anything be done to make a wall good enough to paint or have I found a bad plasterer?

Dear Beverly,
It sounds like finding a plasterer is an international problem. To me, the answer to your question has a lot to do with expectations. Often, the plastering that was originally done in a home was not perfect. There were bulges and areas that were not truly plumb in the first place. The finish may also have had uneven spots. The question is this: What is the end result that you are looking for or expecting?
