So the Mrs has decided she doesnt want me to take it all off and wants it done quickly :/ So on that basis, do you think i could get away with a couple of coats of vinyl emotion in the sections that are bear plasterboard? I was looking at Zinser BIN, would that be a better choice?

Shall I take of that reamaing paint or just paint in the gaps and sand down to feather before? And then wallpaper straight on top?

The plan is to paper on this wall. Do you think I should strip what that remaining stuff is? Or just vinal paint in the gaps? I'm concerned about using the steamer and damaging the plasterboard paper as I can see s few tears already.. Can you recommend a particular paint? Thanks for all your help

Hiya mate, thanks for your reply , I just did a quick video as thought may be easier that way: I said originally I think it's linen paper , but I'm no expert. Some or the plasterboard paper is tearing on removal so i need to be careful and make a decision prior to doing the adjacent wall...

I can see some VERY faint lines on the wall which made me think it's some kind of paper but the Mrs can't so this the argument about what it is ! Do you think I should just proceed to remove it and the seal?

It come Hi John, I think it might be some sort of sealer, he is another closer picture , what do you think? I was thinking of priming the gaps with BIN ?

The house is 1994 , it's dot and dab I believe. We are planning on re-wallpaper-ing, she removed a massive chunk of this (3 ft by 3ft) on one side of the wall when I wasn't about so do you think I should take it all off or just repaint the gaps and if so what with? Thanks

Just need to settle an argument with the Mrs, this was under the wallpaper we stripped. It bubbles with the steamer and come off easily and soft but now dry is flaky and hard and looks like paper that's been painted as different both sides Many thanks :)
