Hi,
I've recently had some replastering work done in my front room.
2 walls chipped back and rendered/skimmed, some patching on other walls.
When I came to paint the walls (had left apr 3 weeks to ensure that the plaster had gone off) with a mix of emulsion/water, some of the skim layer came away with the roller.
It looks like the skim layer had air gaps underneath and as soon as the roller pressed onto them, the skim just came away, this is mainly on an internal wall above a radiator but has happened on quite a few other areas also.
The other problem was with an exernal facing wall that had been rendered, there are quite a few celing to floor cracks, when you push either side of these, there is a lot of give.
Can anyone tell me what would be causing these problems, and also whats the best way to rectify them.
I've already spoken to the plasterer and he's coming round again next week to see what can be done.
Thanks
