Does anyone know if you can remove that horrible textured render (which was so popular in the 70s & 80s) from internal plasterboard walls? If I remember correctly, it was applied with a special roller to give it a more textured finish.
My daughter & son-in-law are looking at buying a house where this has been used on all the internal walls. It is terrible stuff - collects dust and is really rough so worse than sand paper on your skin if you should happen to bump into it (not good for small children!). The house is in good condition otherwise.
The only thing we can think of is to render over the top with a smooth finish but don't know if the new render will stick to the old stuff.
Any ideas?
