When it was capped were vents installed

I know mate I’m a **** just noticed as was bored waiting taxi and I’ve replied to loads from years ago lol

If it’s solid you have one side of breast warm other side cold causes condensation! If you know anyone cheap digital camera lower it down and look inside once air temperatures drop in evening

It’s a damp problem by either ventilation issue or could water be entering from external side maybe! Is the building solid or not etc! Maybe you have heating on and causing condensation

Apply mesh on top of the wet skim and then push it down edge of trowel then finish over the top to bind the plaster

Hmm tricky if it was me and couldn’t board over which really should be I would seal the wood the mesh the skim coat on top and hopefully be ok

Plaster first then tile but you might want tile cuts at bottom not top depending on situation

Also if smoked in at any time nicotine might cause it

Looks like damp stains but obviously any entrapped water causes new plaster to dry differently which causes colour differences really if the marks were there before and it’s been reskimmed they probably just used pva instead of grit

Oh artex can’t be blown badly as your adding weight just not much really but if you pay for a plasterer they won’t guarantee work over artex I don’t think as I wouldn’t

If pattern not too deep skim over the top any little bumps take off with scraper but use ppe and seal entrances but if low count don’t worry too much but once dust settles hoover to remove traces etc

Cheap is fine mate just get the right type of metal depending on situation as what plaster your using but yes more expensive trowels are better but we use daily so worth the cost if your not experienced in plastering maybe a cheap trowel might be best and if you want to break in use a old...

Hardwall or bond deep areas obvs and pva depending on what suction type plaster is used

Your best option as need mesh joins is run straight edges and cut slowly in layers with sharp blade then carefully remove old skim then pva the lot and skim but on the brown patches let pva set then skim or skim tacky

I’m a plasterer so depends on your experience really but mix yourself instead of ready mix and deep areas you want some sharp sand in as if applied to thick with soft sand may crack and could blow or build up in coats! Like previous said run rails if needed and maybe let them set and once the...

Cement render mate as other backing plasters like hardwall need skimming if tiled and cement just devil float it

Just needs boarding and skimming but if me I would skim whole wall as blending is more hassle

Depending on size easy to skim whole ceiling then patch and blend

Hardwall will remulsifi the pva or whatever but too slowly so needs tacky but bonding straight on top of dried pva is cool but needs pva as bonding will fail on such high suction

Yes mate but hardwall is ok just you need to reapply pva and hardwall when tacky or better yet grit it
