About a year ago we had a professional painter paint three rooms for us. He put emulsion on the woodwork, painting directly onto gloss paint without any preparation except for sugarsoaping it. Now paint is flaking off where ever it gets bashed.
What is the best thing to do about it? From internet research it looks like we need to get all the emulsion off, abrade the surface and then repaint with an oil based paint.
Is this right? And how do we get the paint off? We have a lot of surface area to deal with - skirting boards, doors and door frames and also a wooden floor. Tips very much appreciated!

anyway s/soap is no substitute for glasspaper - the lack of glasspapering ( sanding) is the problem - get a little palm sander , some 80 grade glasspaper , connect a henry hoover to the sander ( or even have someone keep the nozzle near the sander ) job `s a good un.
