We're in the middle of getting our landing, stairwell and box room replastered. Plastering is done and he came and did the mist coats yesterday, we are painting the rest of the box room ourselves and the downstairs hallway, which hasn't been replastered.
He's not back until next week now but I text him today to confirm that he was going to do the woodwork on the stairs, including bannisters, skirting, landing side door frames + window next week. He's come back saying that he's not sure as it will add a lot of time onto the job.
He did ask us to provide wood paint, so I assumed he was going to do it. But when I came in yesterday none of those areas had been sanded, and by the amount of dust that our house was covered in (he hadn't put down any dust sheets or closed doors etc, but that's another thread) he was doing a lot yesterday, so I thought I'd better double check.
I assumed that the woodwork was included in the 'decorate hallway' part of the quote, but I may be expecting too much. It just seems odd that he'll paint the landing so it's looking nice and then we have to go back and make a mess to get the woodwork done. What's normal in this situation?
