Tested for asbestos?
Very rarely do these as how do you know what if any bonding agent the last person did or didn't use?!
It was 90% board work. Who ever did it was not even close to being a plasterer, luckily though it is reasonably flat but that's as good as it got.
I'd go over anything that pays ,except paper,wood ,paint that will peel,
distemper ,artex that will peel,plaster that's blown,unsound backgrounds, asbestos, apart from that,anything..
No,i am paranoid ..Do you try or go anywhere that says FREE too john?
It's more of a pain than going over artex, at least you can scrape back artex! Hope it goes well. ( new to the forum guys so hi there)
Thanks for the welcome mate. I've had that nickname for a while. ( fire service) can't sit still apparently
