1930s house would it be lime plaster?

if it's an older property with no cavity then it has to be done in lime IMO. Regardless of what it had before.
 
Wait til squarehead sees this thread he will be blaming Brexit for the cracks I'm sure of it

I hate knocking plaster off walls and taking down ceilings! I should have done better at school and followed my dream in hairdressing. :nocausagracia:

i recently bought a 1930s house that has been completely re skimmed now 18 months on every wall has Cracks and hollow noises when tapped Except those walls that were plasterboarded. My question is would the house have lime render / plaster that has been skimmed with modern gypsum plaster hence why it has cracked or could it just be the original render has perrished over the years and need replacing? (Just find it strange that it's all walls and is getting worse month by month - new plaster has been applied correctly as its I have taken off are firmly stuck to original

Hi David, what you think then ? Gonna smash it all off or leave it on ?
 
Mines is 1920s and I skimmed the lot with render mesh embeded. There is a good few hairlines appeared in the hallway and if I go tippy tapping all over the place I will find the odd hollow spots behind the skim. I'll be filling the hairlines and repainting and wont be knuckle tapping my 100 year old walls after it. Job done.
