When I had painted the first coat onto kitchen walls, I noticed that the paint on one wall wasn’t adhering properly and it had some marks which looked suspiciously like water marks. I think we have ruled out the possibility of the flat being damp, but it looks like there may have been a historic problem. Anyway, on the first coat some of the paint came away on the roller and then when trying to sort a crack, huge chunks of the paint fell away revealing the plaster underneath. I used a pallet knife to pull away the loose paint (pretty much the whole wall). Where do I go from here? My thought is to sand the wall down to get the patches of paint as smooth as possible and then use a peel stop primer (I’ve got the Zinnser one) and then mist coat as I would with a bare plaster wall? My other option would be to use a paint stripper to get the whole wall back to plaster but I don’t really want to go down that route!
I've recently discovered that the loft partition made of plasterboard is not sitting at the central point of chimney breasts (we removed ours) it may have been moved a few years ago about 8-10 inches and sits nearly at the front opening of our chimney breasts in the loft. It's been cleverly done and plaster has been painted on joins from our side. Only the central part has moved, the corners are at the correct place. To complicate matters further the en-suite shower cubicle needs a new light and when the old one was removed you can see the partition wall across it and cable from my property (probably the electric shower) feeding into next door. What steps do I have to take before moving it? Can I just do it as it's technically on my property? Do I have to restore it to the centre? Is it the neighbours responsibility and cost? What rights do I have?? Does it matter how many years it's been like that Can I just employ someone to do it?
Hi, I had a wood floor installed some years ago; just wondering, how can I tell if the subfloor is uneven? Do I have to pull up some of the floor panels? And should I hire a professional to do this? Thanks for your time.
