That is lime plaster if you have no cavities in your walls then putting gypsum over the top will only cause damp the wall needs to breath

Finish is awful for a start, definately frost damage has added to the issues but could either be not mixed right in the right ratio in the first place or wasnt sprayed with water enough when each new coat was applied so it hasnt adhered properly, also explains the hollow sound

Hi Danny used to live in Torquay but now just outside Exeter

Thanks Danny it is, can do any type of plastering but love lime, seems to be a shortage of inside work at the moment

very experienced team looking for inside work anywhere in the south west

What was applied before the top coat?

if the scratch coats ok I would get another plasterer top coat it shouldnt be a lot doesnt look like a big area, cut your loses with the other guy

I am a lime specialist and think thats got to be one of the worst finishes I have ever seen, I doubt he will be back but wouldnt use him even if he did. If I was you would take it back to the scratch coat and if thats ok get another lime specialist to finish it

Yes they should otherwise they cant breathe and the moisture gets trapped in the walls therefore causing damp. Putting cement in lime is a waste of time most do it to speed up drying time or are inexperienced with lime but it still stops it breathing and defeats the object

Cement doesnt breathe so cannot be used on historic, listed buildings or cob buildings or any old property that doesnt have a cavity

Thats very true Orangeman normally have inside work dfor this time of year but at the moment have none

Need some help lol torbay isnt far

Anybody experiencing the same thing or got too much and need another team?
