peeling paint

I've started painting the ceiling in my hallway and the old paint has come off on the roller in several places, seemed like it was along the joins of the plasterboards, so I was hoping that it was only those bits that weren't mist coated. I've scraped back the patches, put Zinsser Peel Stop on...

The previous owner of our house must have painted the wall in some sort of semi gloss latex paint. When scuffed in the move we noticed it’s easy to scrape off. Not sure what to do as scraping a hall to landing floor is a big job. Do you think I could prime this with something?

Hello We had an extension, and I painted one of the new rooms with a coat of Dulux Matt emulsion {edit - thinned by 10%}, followed by another normal coat on the upper half of the walls about 4 hours later. My intention was to mask off horizontally and paint the lower half with a couple of...

Hi I'm planning to paint my sons bedroom but there are a couple of areas the paint has peeled off. We had the room skimmed about 8 years ago, sealed it with 50/50 mix and painted with silk emulsion. 2 off the walls have no peeling. There are no signs of damp, one of the walls is external the...
