    Painting fibreglass garage door

    Grp topcoat is available in several colours from leading roofing companies but you have to know what you are doing to apply it, I don't think you will match your existing with any form of colourant due to weathering.

    blown plaster? why?

    I'me thinking clinker blocks from your desciption, normally built at skirting, dado and picture rail height for ease of fixings, they are not the best at breathing to maintain dry wall areas but there still could be an underlying problem within the area described.I would hack off the entire...

    blown plaster? why?

    Totally agree with T.M, if it's just the skim blown then the undercoat was'nt scratched or prepared properly or if the undercoat has blown as well then you may have a underlying damp problem

    Chemical treating/sealing of wall to prevent damp getting in

    Could be on the right track, a Hygrometer survey by a CRST qualified person will determine if it is condensation and thats a good place to start. Anyone put a Protimeter [ damp meter ] on the walls to determine height and density of dampness? A survey [ normally free of charge ] will determine...
