plaster after removing tiles in kitchen as walls are now patchy

Hello all

I have taken tiles off in kitchen and it has pulled a lot of the skim coat of plaster off. The wall is now very patchy. I want to re skim before fitting new units.

What would be best?bonding first then multi or could I just go straight to multi or use 1 coat plaster?

kitchen Appliances Wiring to Change from Single Socket

Hi

Currently have a single socket with extension lead for washing machine and dishwasher plugged in, which is poor.

What is best for this? 2x fcus ( 1 for each) then down to a double socket or same but with 20amp switch

It is on a 32 amp ring
