    Before plastering we removed the paper wall (very old paper) and then were left with very dry paint older then the paper wall that wouldn't come off so the guy put the pva and new plaster top of it.

    I showed him what happened to the plaster and he said that most probably the wall was really dry under and sucked all the water or something like that, he suggested that after applying the first coat of paint (new plaster paint) it will help by moisturising the cracks and it will get fixed..... but i am not sure how true it is.

    He’s fobbing you off. He needs to fix it.
