Have removed the old skirting as it was damaged by the previous owner but the wall behind it is not looking too good - some of the cement/brick covering has crumbled away
Is there anything I should first before putting new skirting on.
Plasterer is coming tomorrow to make the walls and ceiling good.
Do you mean a few of the bricks have crumbly mortar, or something else?
Whatever the level of damage, it MIGHT indicate a deeper problem - damp in the walls can cause very old house bricks to crumble, for example - and if so, get that sorted before covering it all up again.
