hi i'm just having my house internal walls roughed and skimmed, would it pay dividents if i rented a de-dumidifying machine to dry the walls out quicker so i can crack on with painting them?

Hi ryandavies142, not may favourite piece of equipment but i'm a bit old school and like things to take there own course, but should not have any adverse effect on plaster.

thats fair play, cheers for your response brownie, will consider waiting 2/3 weeks longer. just one more ?
do i need to lightly sand back the plaster before i start painting so it key's better? if so what grade sand paper should i use?

Sorry for late reply, been a busy soul.
No need to sand down plaster unless it's a bit untidy. Decent contractors base coat will be okay.
