Yes its Edwardian and yes I think you are right its distemper. I've scoured it and its coming off. Thank you!

I've been stripping wallpaper from my walls. You can see a mark where a dado rail was and above this there are patches of grey stuff that i assumed was paint but its a odd colour. I was hoping someone would know what it is and the best way to remove it. I started to sand it but its slow going...

Sorry for the late reply. It may look like it in the picture but the solid floor is below ground level. The whole wall has damp issue's mainly due to the raised step and failed render. I can not see behind the kitchen units to see if there is any more issues at ground level. I would like...

All the work done in this new house is shoddy i'm coming to realise. The only thing there to fix to is the coving but i would imagine they are made of plaster of paris and wouldn't hold the wait of curtains.
