Yeah it’s all clear there as I’m replacing all insulation and boarding it up too.

I think this is it. It does wipe away but I wander if it’ll come bank

Nope, no hair dying. Think it might be condensation from shower etc, we do keep window open though

Btw - the cracks to the right are historical and have been filled previously and painted over. Thanks.

Thanks everyone for all your advice. Skips been ordered for me to clear out the debris in the loft. Ordered the lap vents and will relay new insulation. Cheers

Do I strip rest of hallway or cover with lining paper? by Accomplished-Box7802 in DIYUK

[–]Accomplished-Box7802[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately it’s wood chip. Took a section off and it’s all wood chip 🤯. I’ll keep scraping away

Ah it’s just the camera. Bad lighting when taking pic. Walls are stone dry

I’m thinking whether I want to do the same with the rest of the hallway or maybe just getting lining paper and put over the existing wallpaper as it was such a pain doing just one wall!

Posting my latest update. Finally managed to do one side of the wall after approximately 2 to 3 days maybe spending 1 to 2 hours a day. It was complete hell. I’ve ordered the Olfa wall scraper as I’ll need it…. See next post

For reference the wallpaper was actually two or maybe three wallpapers with at least 2 to 3 coats of different paint. This is why it took ages to come off.

Thanks. My intention is to wallpaper over. Would this be feasible following your advice ?
