I have put this in the builder section because I would like to know about the ceiling as I have never had this problem in any other house I have lived in!
This weekend I stripped the hall/landing/stairs walls.
As I stripped the landing I found that the walls n ceiling had been painted at the same time in a colour I don't know!
So peeling the paper off then carried on to the ceiling so I assumed that the ceiling had been papered with lining paper.
It wasn't,it was only painted.
It was coming off in sheets and it was only paint!
Underneath all this was a very chalky looking ceiling,and it caused a lot of dust n mess as I brushed the 'chalkiness'.
I waited till the dust settled then painted it white.
The paint was rolling on and then rolling back off,same with the brush too!
Took twice as long as I'd planned,and the only way round it was to 'dab' the paint on in places where it had lifted off.
The reason for me saying all this is that I have a very small kitchen and I'm decorating in there next and the ceiling in there is half flaked off and bits hanging.
Underneath it looks like the same kind of ceiling-CHALKY!!
This paint isn't easily peelable like the landing was but will have to come off to paint.
Surely I will have the same roll on roll off effect as I did with the landing!
Is there a product to 'cure' this?
I was thinking that if so then it would be easier to paint and the paint will stay on and in time will not start to flake!!!
