In my 1900's-ish brick-built mid-terrace house, there is a space under the stairs which I use as a larder. The walls are brick and are permanently slightly damp, with the damp getting more noticeable the nearer the ground I feel.
At the mo' the walls are covered with lining paper, painted. But 'cos of the damp, the paper is a bit soft and tears easily, which is unsightly. What would be the best finish to put on the walls - I don't really want to go to the trouble of hacking off the plaster, but will if it means I'll get a good result.
