Plastering a 3 bedroom terraced house

In my opinion if you can afford this would be to remove the current plaster given the age of the house it maybe lath & plaster. You will then need to dab boards onto the wall and skim. If this is going to be too expensive then you could remove areas that are more damaged however if it is lath & plaster you will end up removing the whole wall. Hope this helps

Because the age of the house, a survey of the property needs doing, in regards to whether a damp proof course is in place. This can be done by a competent builder or plastering contractor. The general condition of the plastering is also dependant on whether the property has a cavity wall construction. If it doesn't, then it may need treatment to the ground floor, which entails removing the existing plaster to a height of 1m from ground floor level and replastering, after the damp proofing has been installed. The existing walls to all floor levels can be re-skimmed, providing the original plaster is sound, with no loose areas. Any plasterwork is only as good as the surface to which it is being applied. I personally would use a damp meter to test areas and a thorough assessment of the existing plasterwork would also need to be carried out. If the existing surfaces are not stable, then you would be throwing good money after bad if you ignored these points. If you are re-wiring the property, then obviously that needs to be done before starting plasterworks, as with plumbing etc. Hope this helps but remember that the standard of the plastering will determine the quality of your finished project and your ability to achieve that . Good Luck.

1. It comes down to affordability if you can afford to take it back to brick than you should 2. You can sort the damage area out with (Hard Wall) it's a lot better than bonding

Hi there, a 1940’s house will not be lather & plaster that was mid 20th century. All you need to do is use bonding where there is a seep fill. Remove all existing wallpaper, apply a grit film, and re plaster.

hello firstly strip all wall paper off all walls ceilings only knock off whats loose or falling off if the cieling are bowed or sagging you could batten the ceiling with 4 inch by 1 inch timber rough sawn you knock a hole through the ceiling find the existing joists run your 4 by 1 the opposite way then run your boards the other way in a brick work pattern if any plaster has come off the walls you can pva the brick then using bonding coat fill it in smooth it off let it set pva the full wall wiat for it go tackie then plaster with multi finish give it 2 coats if you would like a quote pick me over 16 years experience in the trade thanks for reading
