My internal walls are concrete or brick...or at least they are not hollow anyway. Where they meet the door frames the walls need to be rubbed down as it looks awful. Do I just use sandpaper ? Or is there something else i should use to make the walls smooth.

Thanks

If they are concrete or brick then a chipping hammer might be better than abrasive paper!..

Rubbing down wont touch concrete or brick..Im surprised you have exposed brick and/or concrete in a roon though.

Can you fill over them a little instead?

sorry I didn't word this correctly, I meant they are brick walls but then plastered or I assume its plaster...

Around the door frames there are bit proud of the rest of the plaster and some rough bits too, So can I just sand plaster with my normal sander, if so what kind of sand paper can I use.

Thanks

I would chose 60 grade aluminium oxide followed by 100 grade
