Hi

On my cellar walls and joists, there is a white coating which can be
described as a cross between paint and plaster. It is quite thick but
most is coming off in large brittle flakes. Am I right in assuming
that this is whitewash? I know that a lime based coating is best in a
cellar as it breathes. Does anyone know how I would make up more of
this?

Thanks in advance

James

I would contact the Ministry of Defence. They seem to be quite good
at it.....
