Avoid this contractor if you can. His ID in LowYat "Wai Teong" and FB is "TWT Plaster CeilingTWT Plaster Ceiling" and he posted in this thread before.

I called him to arrange for an appointment for plaster ceiling works at my home. The first time I called he said he's too busy and need to go back to the home town and will call me back. After 1 week, I called him again and he's said the same "BS" and will call back. This time I decided not to even want to engage him.

I am sure many forumers who contacted him faced the same problem. I have met a lot of contractors and he's on of the bad ones who are in my list. Be ware of contracts of such, imagine if you have engaged him/paid deposit and he kept refusing your work, who are you going to turn to.

One of my contractor is currently quoting me a rate of RM7000 to supply and install plaster ceiling and man hole for whole house (about 4 man holes).

Izzit reasonable? Whole house is including porch, living, kitchen, toilets, all rooms and my house is dbs 18x70.

For downlight, hes quoting RM70 each to supply and install downlight and point in conceal piping. Normal downlight not LED.

Izzit normal? For plaster ceiling, hes using 4ft board with metal at each 2ft.

price market maa..

I think it is too expensive.
My whole house only RM3-4K for 22x70 houses. but i didnt do for living room only, but my one is all plain.
Even plaster ceiling with extra pattern, i dun think will reach 7K so high.

my contractor quoted me 1 downlight install is RM11-12 only. ur RM70 include re-wiring?

It is common for contractor to be busy and focused on those that already paid deposit, so to not call back someone that only making enquiry is not unusual.

If this guy was a bad (quality) contractor i doubt he would be so busy.

I also doubt he had an MBA in time management and customer relations, so cut him some slack if he doesn't call you back for enquiry.

Btw making such comments about someones business when you don't really have any solid grounds for complaint will leave you exposed to be sued for deformation. So you should be more careful what you say next time.

Yea include rewiring and down light but not LED type. My ceiling is plain too but living room needs to have a bit of design to accommodate the ceiling fan due to low ceiling. I wonder issit the charges is due to the inclusion of wiring works.

Hi,

Does anyone know any plaster ceiling guys who would consider plaster ceiling repair jobs?

There are some cracks on my plaster ceiling. My previous guy is too busy to get him

want to ask, a contractor charging me these for lighting:
- RM50 light looping
- RM5 open hole
- RM60 install light <-- is this reasonable? I thought the above 2 activities should include installing the lights already?
