Lounge neede the paper stripping and we want it painting.

The bloke who quoted said he would want to use lining paper before
painting.(Wallrock). I aksed why and he said that it was to give a
good finish - especially after removing paper.

I showed him a couple of rooms where I had papered twice before
resorting to emulsion. Could it be that using a steamer on
plasterboarded walls is leiable to leave some damage?


I have found that if the walls are plastered with a render which is
then in turn skimmed over with real plaster, the heat and steam from a
wallpaper stripper makes the skim plaster come off the render.

So you may find you end up having to get a plasterer in to reskim the
walls like we had to.

That is what I fear. The rooms I have stripped by just using soapy water
have not been damaged one little bit.
