plaster not bonding
Hi We had a room skimmed back in August, and have just got round to having it painted. Soon after the painting had been completed we noticed some bubbling on the surface of the wall. We mentioned this to the painter and his team visited this morning. It seems that the plaster skim has not bonded to the wall and the addition of the paint has caused the plaster to delaminate. The wall is very chalky where the plaster is coming off the wall. It looks like the skim coat has bonded to the paint that was on the wall as opposed to the wall struggling to decide what needs to be done, do we just get the blown patches filled, the plasterer has suggested that would suffice, or should we, and I hesitate to suggest this, remove the whole skim coat and start again from scratch?
Rising damp wall
Some mild rising damp identified on internal walls. Builder has slabbed directly to wall. Damp proofer advised wall should have pressure treated timber Barton before board went on. Which is better? Will putting board to wall cause more damp as there is no cavity for wall to breathe?
