I need to decorate a bedroom and i have no idea what to do!
The problem is that around the room the paint is flaking - you can pick off 2/3mm pieces, leaving the plaster board exposed. This means if i paint over it it'll look hideous and also just flake off eventually.
You will certainly need to remove all of the loose stuff.
Apart from that, I would wait for my tame plasterer to come round and check the job out then take his advice. The guy I use always pops round one evening in the week just to check it out, then comes round at the weekend to get the job done - in this way, I can pick his brains and years of experience.
Remove the flakes first. Then you need to plaster/sand between the boards to get an even surface. Do you intent to paint the wall or decorate it with wallpaper?
