Just about to get the second phase of repairs done in my house and house and some clarification.
My lath and plaster ceiling suffered water damage. Parts of the ceiling have detached and repaired.
I have spoken to a professional coming round to do the job on Tuesday and the pro has suggested skimming the affected area, filling with caulk and then painting the 'local area' of the ceiling. I also have cracks in the cornices which he suggested filling and painting.
Now my ceiling has wallpaper on it and he has not mentioned re papering that part. He also suggested skimming the affected part of the ceiling and drying that part with a hair dryer to accelerate drying. What are your thoughts on this practice and his idea?[/img][URL=http://s145.photobucket.com/us...albums/r210/irfan_mohammed/DSC_0077.jpg[/img]
