Ive got this stuff on nearly every wall & ceiling in my 1930's 3 bedroom house, and I want rid of it.
My plasterer has suggested leaving it on and just boarding/plastering over it, which seems a good idea. Would certainly save on elbow grease trying to scrape it all off. But boarding all the walls might mean losing my original picture rails.
So, before I go down this route, are there any trickes to removing wood chip? I know I should scour it first, but should I hire a professional wallpaper stripper? Ive read on here of someone brushing over it with some wallpaper removal chemicals. Ive also been told that a Earlex LCS270 Pro Steam Wallpaper Stripper works well on wood chip?
