hello.
The walls in my edwardian home have suffered the ravages of years of bad decorating, numerous fixtures being installed/removed... you get the picture. I would like to re-skim the walls with lime but can see that the walls have been painted at some time (substance unknown - possibly limewash).
Any suggestions for sealing the wall before skimming? Watered down lime putty for instance? I have never skimmed a wall before so any advice would be appreciated.
Is ready mix limeplaster any good? Names of dealers would help too.... i live in Surrey.
Thanks people.
