Problem after Wallpaper removal

santiagobravo

wow what a fantastic response. I was unable to to get online last night - too much football on tv

apologies, it is plasterboard and i have not started any skimming yet (or purchased any materials for the job)

i think i may just hire someone local to do it as i have never done skimming before

Good. That settles that one then.

In truth its 4 or 5 years solid practice, practice, practice for a spread to be good enough to be able to earn a living from it and produce good results. You'd be much better off hiring someone in TBH.

In case you are tempted to ask I'd suggest you don't be swayed by this new fangled "self-levelling" plaster they are peddling either. In the vids the guy applying it is clearly a pro so I'd expect him to get a proper result anyway. They've edited a part out between him stopping trowelling and the "wow" bit at the end so its suspicious.

Cheers

Yes plastering takes time to master proplery - This job sounds like a piece of cake should get it done all in Lab + mats for less than £200. 3 average size walls for a plasterer is a nice and easy day.
