Currently renovating and in our living room seems to be a complete mix of stuff. Some walls are skimmed whilst right next to it appears to be lining paper that's been painted to blend in. Thinking about getting the whole lot skimmed but before we do one wall has got a few bubbles on in 3 different areas. Chiselled away at them, one small area appears like it's been skimmed over paper which concerned me but 30 cm to the right appears normal plaster job but the surrounding sounded very hollow so i've chipped away all around it, other area was hollow but where walllight wiring has been fitted. The bubbles are all on an adjoining wall to next door and no radiators were above them when we moved in. I'll get a plasterer in but want to ensure we get a proper finish and don't have issues in the future.
Is it safe to assume any solid sounding areas can just be skimmed over? Should I try and locate any hollow areas and chisel away patches until the plaster is solid?
Skim over paper?
Thanks
