Thanks Gary and Mickey for getting back to me. I am just enquiring before i take a scraper to the room and clear it to then discover i cant afford the work doing. Mickey the room could be cleared apart from the laminate floor. Thanks again :-)

For a reskim you will need to get rid if the wallpaper and chop the old plaster off. This will

be a dirty job and will ruin your floor unless taken up. You can't skim to paper. Get out the

bolster chisel.

Does a reskim not go straight over the existing plaster?

 

(Sorry to jump in on your thread becj28, but I'm looking to have the same kind of work done!)

You dont need to remove plasetr for a reskim,but yu do need a clean surface with plenty of PVA rolled on.Why cant the flor be sheeted for protection-most good plasterers will save the floor.
