That’s what I thought the plan was. Do you think I’ve misunderstood? I thought they have now said they could chip back a bit and skim? is that even possible, and if they did do that, how long would that be lasting? Thanks for your advice.

Hi all. This is a council property. We had a lot of water damage. Originally, the council said they’d take the plaster off and put new plaster on and wallpaper. A lot of mention of ‘tie in’. Apparently the plan has changed. They may remove the wallpaper and skim it. I’d like to make sure it’s...

Thankyou. Hopefully that’s the end of the water damage. Fingers crossed.

Haha, sorry, it is long

Hello everyone! I’ve been meaning to show you we did it! It was a bit of a big job for us really. We didn’t do it straightaway. Me and my Dad Put the boards up. They were really heavy. got dust in my eyes a lot. Wore goggles. He made a tree and I helped, but it was carpet on the floor made...

Everyone - I really can’t thank you all enough. you've All given great advice I really couldn’t have found anywhere else. the plan is overboards and plaster. when we get it done (hopefully my Dad is up for it), I will post a pic. You’ve been really brilliant.

Afraid not, we’re in London. I’m googling the hell out of overboards before I suggest it to him. Hopefully he can do that, otherwise wallpaper. Everyone has been so helpful here. Appreciate it.

You’ve been very helpful, thank you.

Ha! Yes, thankyou. Well, we haven’t touched anything yet. Could it look any rougher?

Again, thanks for replying. That’s a great suggestion too. Again, thanks for a great suggestion. It’s great to get a fresh pair of eyes on this.

Thanks for replying. do You think as it stands, this is a big job? Do you think £550 is fair? my Mum really couldn’t wait to get rid of the wallpaper on the ceiling, it made the room feel very enclosed, but that was wood chip too, so maybe lining paper would be an idea. would I need to use...
