Hi so when I line walls I usually use border glue or ready mixed paste around any radiator or heater as stronger hold than standard paste to help with grip and any heat . Fresh plastered ceiling I normally thin emulsion for 1st coat then 2 normal coats of emulsion after that is ample

Kind regards

Take it completely off repairs all defected areas and re line professionally .one miss coat on ceilings and two finish  coats, Dulux Matt Emulsion

Oliver · Answer

Your best bet would be to strip the lining paper and re applying a new one after

.try to repaste the wall with ready mixed paste and stick back paper.
Try sanding them down with a fine sand paper and make good.
Any emulsion of your preference then apply a mist coat then tow full coats should do it.

Its come away most likely because of the heat. Ideally you will want to remove the heater to get good access to the paper. Generally i would cut out the paper that has come away and replace with new lining paper by splicing it in with the old paper. This will not show any joins. If you are using the old paper you will need to dampen it down with water and leave it for ten minutes. Then you can use wallpaper paste or ideally border adhesive. You can then paint this area when dried. Seams can be filled with easy fill and then lightly sanded down ready to over paint. Any emulsion will do. However you will need to water the paint down considerably for the first coat. We call this a mist coat. Then you can apply as normal the paint according to the manufacturer's instructions. Neil.
