Smooth and fill, then use a good quality lining paper

I was considering lining paper probably the cheapest easiest option, thank you

Not a lot of new build companies bother skimming walls anymore. What you've got is dry lining. Plaster board is attached, and then the joints and screw holes are filled, and the whole thing is painted over. Fairly standard practice. 

I wouldn’t mind at all had it been painted, the problem is the wallpaper was stuck (by them) directly to the plasterboard so it’s peeled the plasterboard off with wallpaper backing leaving a very uneven surface that can’t be painted

Oh, I understand more now. Sorry you have that problem, but as others said, but sure you will get anything done about it.  Worth an ask though. Good luck.

Thank you! Such is life I suppose, someone above suggested lining paper so least I have a solution if they can’t help
