Hi we have quite a big hall way the wall is textured and goes up the stairs so really just want to make the wall smooth I was told that jointing compound was good to use and very easy and its ready mixed in wickes its £15 and in 10kg tubs now I will prob need a few now was wondering if there if a forum thats in a bag that you make up yourself as would be cheaper would this be multi finish or not? What do you guys recommend thx. [/youtube]

get the artex or textured paint checked out if its sound get somone to skim it with multi, going over large textured surfaces with jointing compound is not really advisable or practical
Its slightly bumpy all over like textured wall paper and if I had the money to pay someone to do it then I would

you wouldent get the result you would like with jointing compound, its best to wait to you get a bit of money together and then get someone in, im in hampshire give me a shout if you ever want it doingIts slightly bumpy all over like textured wall paper and if I had the money to pay someone to do it then I would
what sort of price would i be looking at for poss 60sqm
for a straight forward skim of a 60m2 hallway most probably 400, its hard to give an exact price without looking at it,
it could be done for cheaper if theres not a lot of prep work, get someone to come and have a look and give you a quote, its not going to cost you anything, if your not far from me ill come and have a look
ok where in hampshire are you?
im based in portsmouth hope your not to far away
Bite his hand off!!!
Bite his hand off!!!
but only once he has skimmed cos it will be a rubbish job if you bite it off before he starts
ah shame im in Aldershot so prob a bit far for you
to far to just come and have a look yes, but its not to far to go to work if you know what i mean, if i was u i would get a local spread in to quote you.ah shame im in Aldershot so prob a bit far for you
