Hi all,
I am taking off the wallpaper(s) from the walls of my bedroom, and I’m looking for advice on a couple of things.
First, the walls have a few holes to be fixed: I can easily fill the small holes from nails/screws with some filler, but I am not sure of how to best approach the larger damages in the wall, as the one in the pictures attached: any suggestion on what products to use / guides on how to fix these holes?
Second, once I have cleaned off the wall from any residue of wallpaper, I was thinking of sanding it a bit, cleaning it with sugar soap and then skimming the wall using PVA first and then some premixed plastering product (as this for example: https://www.diy.com/departments/diall-f ... 575_BQ.prd).
Do you think that’s a good plan / should I look for different products / any other suggestion?
Lastly, I want to replace the skirting board as it’s quite old and damaged, but it is somehow “connected” with the door frame (again, see picture). What would be the best way of doing it? My plan was to remove the skirting board, skim the walls and then put on the new one, but I am afraid I might end up with a large gap between the skirting board and the door frame.
I also attach picture of the walls to give you an idea of the situation.
Cheers :)
