Someome has approched me wanting the flat painted but wants rid of the woodchip. Apparently the woodchip paper is just paperd on to the un plastered board behind! What would it be best to do? Would removing it damage the plaster board behind it? Thamks in advance,
Thanks for the reply, If I was able to steam it off would it do damage to the plasterboard underneath? Or would it be fine to recover with liner?
In my opinion yes, you could line the walls with wall rock fibre liner. A bit expensive, all depends on how much you need to cover.
It is pretty much the whole flat that needs doing, would it be more cheaper and effective to bring in a plasterer? is just going over the top of it with the fiber liner a bit bodge? I dunno have never been up against this scenario before. thanks, james
Wallrock is for uneven surfaces, either use a paper tiger and some zinsser dif or equivalent stripper , or pay someone to skim
