Hi all,
I keep getting a very lot of different answers from plasterers wishing to plaster the walls in my house.
The house did suffer damp problems and would seem that the cause was very bad ventilation in the sub-floor that has now been fixed and new floors, kinspan added, anyway having started hacking the damaged plaster off it seems the old original plaster "old house" has become blown on most of the walls so going to have to basically strip the whole room back to brick as it is falling off in big clumps.
What is important when plastering walls i.e. what should be applied first, what sort of base plaster, any treatment to the plaster etc....etc
Should I just dot and dab with plaster board? do i apply pva first or something else as the last plasterer that came in, the damp just kept getting sucked out of the walls as he used the wrong plaster.
Any suggestions?
So i can maybe try myself or ask the plasterer to make sure he does his job properly as a lot of them have very different opinions?
My worry is that if we have all this done we still end up with damp seeping into the plaster.
Thanks all
Simon
