Check to see if the air vents in the bricks are somehow blocked (outside).

Scrape paint off. Then coat floor with Zamix Coverseal (dont apply loads). Then overcoat with your international floor paint.

Be very carefull though. I say this cos some acrylic primer/undercoats are made for specific enviroments. To be safe, i would go for Dulux Trade Quick Drying Wood Primer Undercoat. Then slightly sand down the srface of the above paint once dry.

I would, "Meanwhile I am going to hack off the internal damp plaster allow the wall to dry and then put on insulated wall board with poly back about 20mm thick." How high up on the wall is the Bitumen ?

To be honest, i would get in an Expert Floor Sanding Company in to sand your Floor. If your Floors are not sanded correctly then once you start to apply an Floor Varnish then you would be in for a shock. I have seen this many, many, many times. Also, there is 'acrylic based flexible...

Ok........ What to do then to be safe is coat a small area first with Dulux Trade Stain Block Plus and leave for atleast 72 hours. Then feel it to check it has dried. If so, then coat all your already coated bricks. Do this same process with Dulux Soft Sheen.

Take paint back. Then buy Dulux Trade Stain Block Plus and apply this to your already coated bricks. Then buy, in my opinion, Dulux Trade Vinyl Soft Sheen and apply this in two or three coats. NB do it in the summer.......... Is the Cellar cold ?

I have soooooooooooooooooo many problems with Builders that i stay clear of them when asked to do Contracts. Builders have an Development of Mind that they think they know everything about everything. This is impossible. All Trades can chage over night. Its like an General Doctor trying to...

This is a classic case of people using any type of emulsion on new surfaces then BANG, resulting in years down the line the problems start. Your problem can be caused be overthinning an first/mist coat or wrong type of emulsion used in the incorrect enviroment or using an emulsion to thickly...

Is the surrounding pebbledash painted ?

Are the floor tiles porous or semi-proous or non-porous ?

What kind of coving is it ? Is it gyproc coving or poly or ornamental !

If i were u, i would get the farrow and ball paint and pay the extra..........

Could even be an Oil-Based paint that has been applied to the walls that is causing the bubbles. Me thinks the best thing to do is, leave the first coat to fully dry/cure/harden for 28 days. Then give the walls a slight rub down. Then re-coat.

Get a Plasterer.........

Give it an good Rub down (i.e. just break the surface), then apply Johnstons Anti-Mould Acrylic. It finishes in an washable matt finish. Therefore, hiding any imperfections due to being matt.

Hence why i recomended Pliolite to you. Pliolite works as an Stabilizer when thinned down by 15% with White Spirit on the First Coat. Dont worry about some pebbles coming off whilst painting. This is normal.

Could be dodgy me thinks. Best using Dulux Trade Interior & Exterior Acrylic Primer/Undercoat.

Only thing i can think of is http://www.thermoguarduk.com/intumescent-paint.html Though they are for fire resistance. Maybe send them an email !

What surface are you emulsioning over ? i.e new/bare plaster or already painted ! Also, this bubblling you are refering to can be caused by an longterm reaction of using PVA on new/bare plaster years ago etc.
