Repairing plaster under stripped wallpaper
Posted: Thu Mar 10, 2022 10:52 pm
Hello,
DIY-Novice here hoping to get advice on how to repair some walls I’ve stripped of lino-paper and wallpaper
My intention was to strip paper, sugar soap it, sand it and then prime, before filling in crack/gaps. However I am now confused by what I’ve found underneath.
In Room 1 it seems half the wall has old brown plaster, some of which is starting to fall off (photos attached), and the other half doesn’t, and looks much more damaged.
In Room 2 it seems one wall is brown, and the other grey.
My first question is what people recommend I do in both rooms to achieve the smoothest finish? Does Room 1 look like something I can fix by removing all the brown plaster and doing the list I mentioned before, or does anything look like it will need replastering?
Any advice would be appreciated!!
Thanks
