when scraping some wallpaper from my hall walls, i discovered that when wet, the emulsion (assume it to be emulsion) underneath scraped off.
I've continued to scrape off with the intention to repair myself but as you can imagine you get the odd gouge etc. Additonally in some places the coat underneath has come away too and in some spots it's right down to the bare plasterboard or skim.
I could fill and sand and get it back to an acceptable level and maybe put lining paper up but I'm thinking i might just pay to get it skimmed. Better finish, less mess and more spare time for me.
When i come to remove the remaining wallpaper, would I need to also scrape the walls before skimming?
