Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Plasterer/decorator with damp management experience
This may be a tall order, but I am looking for someone who could replaster a corner of our hallway that's been suffering from a perennial recurring spot of dampness on the wall. We have done some snooping around and the most likely cause of it is condensation as the cold and warm air fronts meet in this very particular spot.
The job would be to:
- remove a set perimeter of plaster and/or filler that we believe isn't breathable/fit for purpose; and all skirting in the process with due care for existing, recently refurbished remainder of the wall
- re-plaster with 100% lime plaster and return in 2-6 weeks to paint; key they are aware of the different plaster solutions and we can trust them to work on this safe in the knowledge that the right product is being used for the job
It's a reasonably small job but happy to compensate in excess to make it worth their while.
Thank you in advance.

Thank you Tris - this is very much in line with our thinking and I am inclined to give this a shot. Worst case scenario is we'd have to re do it and because the area is quite small we can try a few solutions. But there are some cowboys out there whose immediate reaction would be chemical injections and an undercoat of latex paint...
Out of interest, did you have to also apply specialist paint of any sort?

Gentle bump as I’m still struggling to identify the right person for the job. Any recommendations would be much appreciated
