I had my ceiling painted as part of an insurance claim and the paint is peeling off, see pics. I had a loss adjuster out today who rubbed the ceiling which resulted in like a white chalky dust on his finger. He said it looked like a reaction with salt. There not disputing the claim and have asked do i want someone in to do work or do i want to do it myself. This guy advised if i was going to do the job myself to paint an acidy substance on it first like white vinegar then to seal it with PVA diluted at 5 to 1, then use a good quality paint. The paint peel goes virtually right the way across the the ceiling along the window wall and from the wall its about 5" into the ceiling. I have some questions
1. Whats the view on the advice this guy gave.
2. How much would a decorator charge to do this work.
3. Would i better getting someone in or doing it myself
Anyway here,s the pics
