What Is My Wall Made Of???

[Spare Tool]

Hey again,

Well, the wall is bare. Have attached a pic again, but it appears to be concrete? Is grey. Is that ok to tank on or tile on? Best advice? Thank you. View attachment 73167

I'm guessing money may be tight but just get a tiler in, if nothing else to advise..

don't like to alarm you but it could be artex which years ago this was used to texture walls and in the artex ASBESTOS was some times used. I hope im wrong but you may want to get it tested

Never thought of that.

Hey lovely people
It appears it was some kind of textured paint, something the housing associations use to cover up the fact the walls are lumpy bumpy I'm told We got one wall down to the original material and it was what looked like breeze block material, grey and coarse.
In the end my health has dictated I can't really be up for a huge job at the moment so am going to save the pennies and get 'a man in' hehe, a professional, once I have saved enough.
Thank you all for your help, ideas, support and concern, I shall certainly use this forum to see if there is a local who can price me a job once I'm in the situation to do it.
Thank you Thank you Thank you
