Hi there,
I'm a complete novice and am mainly going by instinct. Please help.
An internal wall in my warner flat (1894) had a hollow section by the ceiling, it didn't seem like a lot of plaster needed to be removed because most of the wall didn't sound hollow and there are no cracks. However, as soon as I started to take out the hollow bit I realised that all the plaster was coming off easily even where the wall sounds fine. Under the plaster there is a dark grey mud with horse hair. there is no signs of damp and like I say, the wall doesn't sound hollow but the plaster still comes off easily. Shall I leave it and render and skim or take it all off?
hope this makes sense and thank you in advance you guys are amazing! I have read so many posts and have already learnt alot.
Please help, really lost on this one and really can't afford a plasterer.
Thanksmneto
