Hi,
Can someone give me some advice as to whether these walls and ceiling need skimming/plastering before painting please?
The walls seem ok, pretty solid and mostly quite smooth, not as smooth as fresh plaster but ok-ish. There are some cracks as you can see but can these be filled then sanded smooth and then painted? There are also some chased walls where the electrics have been altered but these have been filled, so again, can i just sand down and paint?
The ceiling is lathe and plaster but are flat and in pretty good condition even though there are some cracks. I guess I probably won't get away with painting over this and will need scrimming and skimming before painting?
