I have blocked off a doorway, with a stud wall (plaster boarded it) ready for a plasterer to come out for hire.
Before I hire a plasterer, does anyone know this:
I am going to get the plasterer to skim the whole wall including the blocked off plaster boarded new wall, the existing wall is a solid wall, and already plastered, but there is paint on the wall.
Do I need to remove the paint on the existing wall exposing the existing plaster so that the skimming can stick to the existing wall, or can I just leave it painted?
