Covering over artex
Is it better to board or plaster over artex?
Wet wall and plastering
A builder repaired a wall affected by a leak. I explained that it needed to be completely dry before replastering, but he applied PVA, plastered and skimmed it anyway. He says the wall was dry, but it still feels noticeably cold, so I’m concerned there may be remaining moisture. The plaster is also uneven and overlaps the skirting board; he says sanding will fix this. Please advise: 1. Should the wall be checked with a damp meter before further work or painting? 2. Could remaining moisture show through the paint? 3. Could applying PVA and plastering too soon trap moisture? 4. If the wall is still damp, should the plaster be removed and the wall allowed to dry before replastering? 5. Will sanding properly correct the uneven finish? I want to resolve the moisture issue properly before decorating\.

How can I repair a plasterboard ceiling?
I have a ceiling in one room which has been progressively falling apart. It’s approximately 1.5 metres square in size. What is the best way for me to repair this growing gap in the ceiling? Will there be a need to remove any additional plasterboard in the process or just this section?
Blown Plaster removal
Do I need to remove old wallpaper beforehand, or will the plasterer remove along with blown plaster.
Why is plaster peeling off the ceiling around the screws?
I’ve got swirl patterned ceilings around the house but over the last few months the plaster has started to come off only over the screws that hold the plaster board up (I think its plasterboard underneath?). It has left a few small circular holes dotted around the edges of the ceiling where the screw heads are now visible. Why would this be happening? How can I fix it?
