Skimming over wallpaper!
 

I've never seen this before.

A wall at work has been skimmed, it's apparent that behind the plaster
is tiled wallpaper!

Happened in this house. We found a doorway had been blocked up and the new
plaster covered the existing anglypta wall paper.

Laminate flooring on top of carpet is not unknown too.

Skimming over artex is a good way to hide it.

Nothing much wrong with that, if its sound carpet, instead of laying
the usual under felt.

Sounds like an accident waiting to happen. Did the previous owner have a 6
gun and a big hat?

The previous owner had a refurb relatively recently and apparently fell
out with the builder. I don't know who the builder is but I am motivated
to find out.

There are gaps, windows on the wonk, floors with a staggering degree of
slope on them and a variety of offenses against plastering.

We couldn't even paint the place, lord knows what had happened to the
walls but anything we painted on just brought the original paint off.
