Hiya everyone
I'm just a DIY'er...and have now embarked on removing the lining from the ceiling, as advised by our recent plasterer as there were a couple of areas where the lining was peeling.(there are also a large amount of cracks, some running the lenght of the ceiling and others across the corners)
I've started and it was going ok'ish with the lining coming away clean to reveal the plaster in all its glory. The problem I have now is that the lining isn't coming away clean anymore, which is making for particularly hard work as I'm not using the steamer. The plasterer advised me not to use the steamer as it would probably ruin the plaster under.
I've no idea when the plastering was done but we've been in the house for about 9 years so suffice to say its not new plaster but looks good (to my very novice eye).
any suggestions....would damping it down help?
Thanks
