Lime Wash

[toptec]

Got a big, 7m X 4m, ceiling to sort in a 1960's bungalow. It is not in bad condition, couple of small cracks running along the board joins but I can sort these with tape.

However I am told it is covered in lime wash and I will need to reboard.

If I sand off the chalky lime can it be skimmed, (by a Pro not by me!) without having to go to the expense of re-boarding?

Better to get a plasterer in to give you his opinion Toptec. Can't comment without seeing it, sorry.

Thanks RC.

Not that many local plasters in my neck of the woods surprisingly. Trying to avoid one of the Regional ones. I'll put out an APB!
