Re: I don’t understand

Was the wall plastered (skimmed) before the original paper?

LD. When I took the last lot of wallpaper off, a lot of paint came off with it?

But there was nothing wrong with the wall the paint was still intact, with the first lot of wallpaper I put up,do you think it needs plastering?

To be honest I was thinking that, costs a flipping fortune though.

Re: I don’t understand

Try sizing the wall BEFORE papering again Pauline ?
Or use some bonding fluid which is the same thing !!

Donkeyman! 👍👍

I did size the wall, I think it needs plastering...which costs a fortune, I could do it, but it’s darn messy.

It could be that the wall was painted without a wash coat (watered down paint)

Re: I don’t understand

If you paint the wall with polybond first, that will help seal the old plaster, then paste on top of that.

A thinned coat of PVA as per instructions will seal any surface in need of sealing prior to redecoration.

Re: I don’t understand

Does the room in question smell mouldy ? if so water may be seeping through from your neighbours side from a newly fitted leeky Basin or pipe.

Re: I don’t understand

Thanks everyone for your help.

basser, I put Laura Ashley wall paper up there over 8 yrs ago, after a while it started to peel away from the wall.

There is no damp, the wallpaper has gone like cardboard, if you took it off the wall, it would stand up.

At the back of me lives a painter and decorator , we always have a good old natter as we’ve gotten to know each other.

This day and age you must be very careful what you say to others, I would like to ask him about my bedroom wallpaper, but in my mind, I’m worried he might think I’m suggesting something, if you know what I mean.

Yes, I am paranoid of giving him the wrong impression ,it doesn’t help that he is a very attractive looking man, plus he’s quite a flirty type of chap.😀
