Plaster cracks around staircase


We had all our walls skim-coated when we renovated 10 years ago. They are still fine EXCEPT for the staircase soffits and adjacent walls where I’m guessing the movement of the stairs creates stress that re-opens old cracks. Has anyone else had this problem and how have they fixed it? Also, I’ve seen Junior Prates recommended here as a plasterer (most recently in the last day or two). Would he be a good guy to call for this? Thanks in advance.

In-House Carpet Cleaning?


We need the wall-to-wall carpet on our 2nd floor cleaned. It’s a high quality 100% wool carpet so we’re looking for someone reliable and expert. Has anybody out there used Kalfaian or do you have other recommendations? Cheers.
