Thanks Kot - interesting point. I'm assuming its normal cement, is there any way of telling?

I know a lot of very old places had horse hair and lime plastering, but didnt know about the cement too? Currently chipping off a load of loose plaster in hallway, what would i look for to see if its normal plaster or hair/lime?


Lime plaster are usually white or yellow dependant on the sand colour used and will have tiny pebbles embedded (larger granules of sand) in it. Cement is usually grey, smother and a harder finish. Gypsum are pinky light brown smooth and soft

Once you have read below, look at the tab about dampness.
