Interior walls
Hello, hope you don't mind me just barging in here and asking for help
straight away. I've just moved into a Victorian terrace and there's a fair amount of work to be done. With winter not so far off I'm going to concentrate on a little cosmetic decoration first. On removing some layers of truly horrid wallpaper I've noticed that the plaster work is a little uneven. My question is; can anyone recommend a good quality preparation, preferably painted on to the existing plaster, that will give me a nice smooth finish. Or, and break it to me gently, do I have to re-plaster the room. I say I, I mean someone else, a plasterer for instance. I'm rambling. Cheers Crumpet |

You could sand the walls with sandpaper having put the sandpaper round a block of wood so that it rubs off the tops first rather than following irregularities. It depends on how big the uneveness is.

Thank you for taking time out to point me in the right direction. There is no emoticon for what I'm feeling. Dave |
