You have just reminded me of something
Please, what's the best way to clean POP stains on doors, windows and floors?
The guy currently doing my POP has already created a cleaning wahala for me

Floor- scraping.
Wall - will be covered by screeding.
Doors and windows - carefully scraping and use of wet cloth.

The general advice is to cover everything you don't want stained during POP (including doors and widows)

Hi, my good people.

Good afternoon. Thank you for all the advice you gave me.

I have a question, please. I bought power showers for my bathroom and my plumbers advised me to make the tank stand 14 Ft which I did. Despite this height, the showers' pressure is still low. The taps outside bring out water with high pressure but the power showers and kitchen rap dispenses water slowly. I mean the pressure is too low. The shower pictures are attached.

Please, what can I do?

Bought surface pump for mine

It's very easy if they clean immediately after work ....




That's why it's better to do your pop before tiling

Thanks for the info

I haven't done tiling yet

Those guys, most especially the Togo, egun, are very dirty about this accept, cleaning of working place is not in there dictionary.
But me oo if you don’t clear and clean my site after pop I will give your balance to another Labour to do the needful. So they always cooperate with me.

I remember Oga @ twinskenny 's boy on my site and the way he was murmuring "see as everywhere neat" "ahan" "if na POP now, stain everywhere"

That's one of the advantages of Gypsum board over POP.

Attached is a picture of gypsum board ceiling.

This is very practicable. This approach is what we adopt here in the UK for ceiling solution. At this stage after installing, we will now joint the board lines with a jointing tape to prevent cracking and then apply Multi Finish for a smooth clean finished. (See attached photos).

What material will you now apply for a smooth finish? POP? Will you joint the board lines?

Smart. This is a general problem with workmen in Nigeria.

I think to force a chance we clients must insist that cleaning up forms part of the contract.

Alternatively, no balance until cleanup or if the owner cleans up, the balance will be forfeited.

Thanks for sharing this.

The pressure to modernize by going the POP route is enormous in Nigeria.

If you don't have POP, you are dated.

Thanks for sharing UK best practice. I think I will go the gypsum board and cornice way and not the POP route.

Is there a POP craze over there? Apart from these boards what alternative ceiling solutions are in use in the UK?

Yes that is the way, you met my site clean and you get a job to do and get paid for such why will you now leave part of your job for another person to do,
That means you will forfeit part of your payment

the tank stand you did, did you cast a different foundation or was the 14ft height buried into the earth. If that's the case, the height has been reduced by at least 3ft

your tank stand is of sufficient height. Get a plumber to look at your connections
