There was one wall that the plaster came off with the wallpaper & hubby gave this a layer of plaster. However, not a plasterer himself, the finish is not great. Just want all four walls skimmed over to have smooth surface that I can paint whatever colour takes my fancy without stripping the room over and over again.
Also, at Christmas we had a log burning stove installed. The builders plastered any damage to the chimney and we have tiled the fireplace so there are no holes/repair work needed, IMO.

Does hubby's plastering stand proud of the original surface and a little bit uneven, you could get it level again by sanding, bit of a dusty job, you need a flat orbital sander, there is a special (lets call it sandpaper, but its not) it comes in sheets like sandpaper but its a mesh like material, black in colour and its good on plaster.
