Damp, Peeling Walls in an Apartment
Paint and plaster had come away in large patches. Stripping back to a sound base, re-plastering and painting brought back clean white walls.

Step by step
1. Peeling walls
Damp had lifted paint and plaster in large patches on several walls of the apartment.
2. Around the pipes
Behind the water heater the plaster had crumbled around the pipes. Anything loose is taken off.
3. Down to a sound base
Behind the counter the wall was stripped back to the masonry, so the new plaster sits on a sound base.
4. New plaster
The stripped areas are filled with new plaster and brought level with the rest of the wall.
5. The counter area restored
The wall behind the counter was plastered and painted white.
6. Next to the window
In the corner beside the window the damp had ruined a whole strip of plaster, from the ceiling down.
7. The same corner afterwards
With new plaster and paint, the corner no longer stands out from the rest of the wall.
8. The apartment ready
Clean white walls from the front door to the kitchen, ready to be lived in again.
