I have just finished stripping the wallpaper in a room. The previous owners seem to have done a bit of a botch job with the wall underneath. Some patches are uneven, and they look like they have been filled with polyfilla but not sanded smooth.
The paint is also flaking in several places.
I don't have enough experience to judge if a sand and fill job could produce a good finish here, or if I should call in a professional to perhaps skim those parts and work their magic. Your advice would be very much appreciated!
If you reckon I have a good chance with sanding and filling, what would you recommend for sanding down polyfilla (and peeling paint)? How should I even up the parts where the paint peeled off and shows the drywall underneath?
Thank you very much in advance for your input! I am including clickable thumbnails here.
The bare patch to the left is about 12 inches long.
This is the largest problem area. It's about 15" from the bottom to the top of the photo.
This is the patch in the worst shape. It is about 5-6" wide.
