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?


If the plasterboard hasn't been skimmed - like on many cheap modern houses
- good luck getting wallpaper off without damage to the walls.
