Maybe condensation. With the damp plaster there is lots of moisture absorbed and condensation forming on the cold pipes. Give it time to dry out. Hopefully it will disappear

Other than chipping it off there is no easy way to get it off. If prepared well it's going to be stuck on well.

A good rare earth magnet will find joists. Pull on nails

I think you know it's not great. Give them chance to rectify

Or a bucket brush. I liked the long handle ones

So condensation forming because of a lack of fresh air blowing through? Watch this for information on subject...

I've patched up a few with blown areas but its better to get the lot off. Seal Skim Surface adhesion and how solid it is needs to be tested before skimming to avoid this trouble

Get a summer fan in room to move air along with dehumidifier. Maybe still a little damp in places. Don't know a much about underlay. We used cloud 9. Also cloud 12

Mixing together may speed up the setting time but not the correct way to get a faster setting plaster. It's an unknown. Buy halftime

Don't fully seal until dry. Product needs to harden by drying to create a seal. i would seal. 24 inch fan to dry off quicker. Another coat and when tacky skim. One thing though. I don't think plaster sticks better when tacky Vs dry. Watch the the test on YouTube

Sbr and multi finish

Use easyfill 20. Start with a smooth sealed surface. Scraper or trowel to pattern. Old plaster or old english plaster is the pattern. That's what I called it. Think some called it Spanish troweled...see it on the outside of villas

No dpm under fire place concrete because of heat. Think I'd dampen down. Apply cement and water with a splash of pva in to create a bond. Give it an hour then a bag of leveling screed

Get a summer fan in there to move air about. Keep it going as much as possible. Open window a bit when the weather is dry. Air movement is better than heat. Thick plaster and closed room causing drying issues maybe.

Some cove adhesive is board adhesive in a different bag flogged for sticking coving. BG stuff is best. Probably the only one that will stick to emulsion I've found. I always sealed surface to help coving stick and never had a problem. I always sealed cut joints and blobbed with adhesive and...

Buy rolls or mesh. Skim and cover walls with mesh. Probably sand and cement over blocks then skimmed. Movement causes the sand and cement to shatter.

Wallpapers used to have asbestos in. They say anything after 1980s will be fine but prior to that who knows. I must of striped wallpaper with asbestos in at some point because of the amount I striped off over the years. Not something you see mentioned or tested.

Go watch the channel....on the trowel... It's on YouTube. Guy done one last month

And yes to overboard

Everyone is exposed to asbestos at some time during their life. Low levels of asbestos are present in the air, water, and soil. However, most people do not become ill from their exposure A few holes in a material that probably didn't contain asbestos and you are worried?

Multi finish used over lime plaster

https://www.armco.org.uk/asbestos-survey-news/asbestos-in-plaster-walls-ceilings/ Asbestos cement was mostly used in commercial buildings and added to walls that were fire-rated such as lift shafts. Therefore, it’s very uncommon to find homes that contain any asbestos in plaster walls and...

I found it once in fireplace plaster mouldings. Never knowingly found in house plaster. Just get a asbestos survey done. Seems it's getting more popular to have a survey done with house sales. Bet you got asbestos somewhere in the house so find out where and leave it alone. Most houses have...

Chalky surface? Distemper maybe?

You sure it's artex? Not known that survive outside because of frost and damp.

I'm same number since 1994.. Charged networks as originally orange but now 02. I always buy my handset outright and pay for a £6pm SIM deal. I sort all the phones and sims and everyone is on a £6pm SIM deal although ranging on many networks from 02, ID mobile. Giffgaff. Stuff the high price...

Distemper. Steam or scrape paint off first. Vacuum connected to 80 grade mesh orbital sander and get it off. Don't take long to do then stabilise. I used gardz but other cheaper options at trade centres. Distemper will continue to degrade over time so removing is always best option. Can't get it...

Artex might contain asbestos? I've scraped those back. Orbital sanded the distemper off. Applied gardz. Strengthen joints from above loft side. Skimmed. Lot's of labour involved in that vs boarding.

Cavity walls? If not you need lime plaster.

Bonding won't stick to some emulsions. Got a theory it's durable emulsions with the smooth surface. Odd though when it fails as sticks to everything you don't want it to like glass of gloss woodwork. I apply PVA first and so far no problems

I'd gardz, give it an hour or more then PVA and skim. Some SBR if it's all dry

Pint. Sw area £4.35 at local pub. £6 a pint at our city docks

That was me. Used artex sealer for years and never had it fail. Found it recently at a building merchants for under £20 for 2.5lt and you can add water to it so it goes further

Setup website just for the lime side of your business. Start an Instagram and Facebook page as well just for the lime. Listen to the fix radio podcast from Feb covering lime plaster

Cavity? Need to find out if it has one... Safe bet is insulated plasterboard stuck on with foam.

Yeah. Mostly. Depends on distance to job. Size. Thickness and Condition ect. Seen many skimmed artex ceilings where it looks like someone has struggled. Whatever works for you I guess. If you can get it done with no problems in one trip then great.

Because artex can go soft when sealers are applied over, it's definitely better to seal day before imo. I also dig paper tapes out as they can come off when plastering. Knock nibs off. Dig tapes out ( not often) Seal. Tape. Seal over tapes and leave to dry overnight. Pva and skim.

No idea tbh. Was done before I viewed

Artex removed here because of asbestos. Posted this for interest..

406 is a polymer emulsion. So its like a waterproof PVA but thinner and better penetrating the surface and binding it together. Will seal so when dry apply a watered down PVA and when sticky skim. Now go Google the word penetrating

Can see lines across in new plaster as I taped joints. Tapes pulled out. Got loads. I'll Find some more Another job below Waiting for it to set below Finished below And here I and putting on a swirl pattern. Happy to put it on if you lot want follow in and take it off You can have...

Yeah. Foam will be fine to fill.

Artex is difficult to wash over. T-Bar washer I use if I can, if it is not too rough. That is a real quick way along with cleaning liquid. PVA is fine but buy the good stuff imo. Loads of different sealer that can be used. I mostly use gardz and when dry go with PVA. Others like SBR. Many use...

I run masking down either side of channels day before if I can and lash with Pva. Tape boxes ect. Couple of double handfuls of bonding in multi and get as many done as possible in one hit. Just as setting get a wet multi over and pull tapes keeping wall clean and get moving around the lot...

I use magnet to find joists. Well it finds the nails.

Tesco, savers, B&m, The range, pound shop sell soda. Like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B079M6LMQY/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_6HXB1JRS73HX2N8DCQP1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Baking soda or Bicarbonate soda works as same stuff.. Find old tool box with minimum water to cover blades and wang in...

I always pva grit 3-1 ish however I'm not a fan of it. Prefer a polymer without the grit then pva over that. Never had a single fail yet fingers crossed. I hate applying grit

£80 Bodged on £80 vac with power takeoff. Jobs a good un Great for white wash or distemper prior to sealing and no worries about plaster adhesion

Open up joints and seal with 50/50 pva although I prefer gardz or beeline sealer then toupret standard powdered filler thick. Get it right in joints

Just sand off paste residue with 80grade on orbital sander as quick then pva. Other way is to use gardz as will neutralise paste when dry then pva and skim. giraffe sanders is £100 or cheap orbital from DIY bodged on vacuum but bigger the plate the better. 5 mins a wall is enough to get...
